YEAR Formula Syntax

=YEAR("2023-03-15")

Example Use Case

Extracting the year component from a date value

Understanding the YEAR Formula

The YEAR function in Excel extracts the year component from a date value. It's a date component tool for isolation—like breaking down dates into parts or analyzing data by year.

YEAR("2023-03-15") returns 2023, extracting just the year. It takes a single date argument (as serial number or text), delivering the year as a four-digit number—useful for year-over-year analysis or conditional formatting.

Why Use YEAR?

YEAR isolates time periods—think annual reports or historical analysis. Its focused extraction enables year-based sorting, filtering, or calculations, helping you work with specific years across your data.
