How to create Custom Dates?

While I was appearing the MOS exam for Excel expert, I got a question of changing the date format to only year i.e., YYYY. Do you know how to do this?

If you go to the Format Cell option and then Date; you will not get this option of changing your date to YYYY.

To convert this into the desired format, first you have to select the cell where you have the date (MM-DD-YYYY) and then click Format Cell Option either by doing right click or by Number Format settings. Refer as shown below.
















Click Date in the Number tab. You will get all the different date formats in Type:. Check thoroughly, you will not get the date format of YYYY.

For this, after clicking date you have to click "Custom" as shown beside. And here you go with the option of editing the date in the Type: cell. Select the format and update it to YYYY.

For more information on how to do this, please get in touch with me at Samrat.biswaas@gmail.com
