YEAR

Definition of YEAR

Returns the year specified by a given date.

Sample Usage

YEAR(DATE(1969,7,20))

YEAR(A2)

YEAR(40909)

Syntax

YEAR(date)
  • date - The date from which to calculate the year. Must be a cell reference to a cell containing a date, a function returning a date type, or a number.

Notes

  • Ensure that the input to the function is either a reference to a cell containing a date, a function which returns a date object such as DATEDATEVALUE or TO_DATE, or a date serial number of the type returned by the N function.
  • YEAR does not autoconvert number formats in the same way that Google Sheets does upon direct entry into cells. Therefore, YEAR(10/10/2000) is interpreted as YEAR(0.005), the quotient of 10 divided by 10 divided by 2000.
