Extract year from date data
I've been trying to use Date.Year to extract yyyy from mm/dd/yyyy, for a few days now. The best thought I have is to convert the date to text and take the last four characters, but I believe there's a better/easier way to solve this.
Thank you.
the first parameter of this function should be text, not a date value.
if [order date] is date type,try Text.AfterDelimiter(Text.From([ORDER DATE]),"/",{0,1})
Hi Anonymous ,
If the column type is Date, please directly go to Add Column tab--> Date-->Year to extract :
If the column type is Text, then go to Add Column tab--> Extract --> Last characters:

= Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Text", type date}}, "en-US") // verses = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Text", type date}}, "en-GB") // or = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Text", type date}}, "fr") // your default is = Culture.Current

Text.AfterDelimiter(text,"/",{0,1})
