Get the year from other column

Hi

 

 

I'm creating a new column in my Sharepoint List. I'm using a calculated value for this column that extracts the year from a 'date' column. 

 

Example: 

Date column: 23-02-2023              Year column: 2023

 

The formule I used for this was =YEAR([Date]). But it's giving me 2.023 instead. The notation is set on numbers with 0 decimals. Tried some changes but can't figure this one out. 

 

  • Jonas_Daragas Are you using calculated column? Can you show us the screenshot of calculated column settings?

    Also just to confirm, what is the data type of another column, date and time?

      Hi this a screenshot of my column settings. The column 'Datum JAP' is a standard date&time column. 



  • Jonas_Daragas I just tried it at my end and it works for me. Formula I used: 

     

    =IF(ISBLANK([Date]),"",YEAR([Date]))

     Output

      Yes it also works for me like that. But I do not want the , or . in my year. I want it to show as 2023. As it is linked to my Power Apps & it's not the correct way to show the user the year.

    Note

    1. Sometimes comma( , ) does not work in formula (it is based on language or regional settings on your site). So in that case use semicolon( ; ) instead of comma( , ). 2. Use correct display names of your columns in the formula.

      I don't mean in the formula. I mean the result is showing a , (in your example), mine shows a . (because of my region). So the problem is in the result.

        Jonas_Daragas Try using formula in this format: 

         

        =IF(ISBLANK([Date]),"",TEXT([Date],"yyyy"))

        Output
