How can I extract just the year into a new cell from a “yyyymmdd” cell (labeled PD here) that isn’t recognized as a date? I basically need to sort this data by year. Thanks in advance!

If all dates are formatted that way you can very simply use =left() formula

=DATE(LEFT(E2,4),RIGHT(LEFT(E2,6),2),RIGHT(E2,2)) assumes M/D/Y is the desired output

You could use the MID formula here too instead of the RIGHT/LEFT compound formula

“Text to columns” > “fixed width”

Left(4)?

Can't you just sort column E anyway? They already have the year at the start so will sort as you would want

I needed to filter by year after sorting, so those wouldn’t be grouped together in the filter!

In the new column, call the first four digits.

Yep numbervalue(left(<cell>,4)
