Is it possible to format a date (14-march-01) to display only the year, ie 2001 in this case?


Thanks

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi -

Give this a try:

1. Right click on the cell you want to format;
2. Choose Format Cells;
3. Select the Custom option;
4. Instead of choosing one of the selections, type yyyy in the field under the word "Type:";

This should do it for you.

HTH,

Frank
