"Two Simple Methods to Extract Last Two Digits from a Year in Excel"

Description:

In this video, I demonstrate two straightforward techniques to retrieve the last two digits from a year in Excel.

The first method involves utilizing the powerful RIGHT formula. I walk you through step-by-step as we employ the RIGHT function to extract the last two digits directly from the year value. This method is quick, efficient, and ideal for users seeking a direct approach to handling year data.

Next, I introduce an alternative method utilizing the DATE formula combined with custom formatting. By converting the year into a date format and then applying custom formatting, we achieve the same result of displaying only the last two digits of the year. This method offers flexibility and demonstrates the versatility of Excel's functions.

Whether you prefer the simplicity of the RIGHT formula or the versatility of combining functions with custom formatting, this video provides you with two effective strategies to effortlessly fetch the last two digits from a year in Excel. Watch now and enhance your Excel skills!
