Extract year from date data
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:

Oh, WOW! I've been making it way too hard all this time.
1) select data column
2) Date icon, select year, select year. DONE!
I see now there are many ways to get the result we're seeking, but thanfully this was a "built-in" option.
Thanks to your both. I love this group and shall return.
