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 ...

Note:

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.

    A little bit late 😉, but perhaps useful for others.
    
    Try:
    =IF(ISBLANK([Date]);"";TEXT([Date];"yyyy"))
    
    As ganeshsanap said, formula per language but also per regional setting.
