extract year

I have a date like this: 23/05/2005 15:59:43. I need a formula to extract the
year - I've been trying mid, right, etc, but just can't get it. Thanks!

Is the entry really a date or a string? If a date, then =year(a1) will get
the year. If a string, =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-4,4).

That did it! I was trying to do a search based on the /, didn't think of
using the space!!
