What does it do?
Gets the year from the date
Formula breakdown:
=YEAR(serial_number)
What it means:
=YEAR(date wherein the year will be extracted from)
I recall wherein I had a lot of dates and I wanted to extract the year of the dates one-by-one… It was too much of a hassle! Thankfully there is Excel’s YEAR Formula to do that for me!
I explain how you can do this below:
STEP 1: We need to enter the YEARÂ function in a blank cell:
=YEAR(
STEP 2:Â The YEARÂ arguments:
serial_number
What is the date that you want to extract the year from?
Select the cell containing the date:
=YEAR(C9)
Apply the same formula to the rest of the cells by dragging the lower right corner downwards.
You now have your years extracted!
