Excel VBA - Can I assign part of a Cell Value to a variable?

Question

I have a date in a particular cell (B3) - Date - 12/03/2016. I am trying to assign only the Year part of the date, ie 2016 to a variable. Is it possible?

Answer 1

you can use:

Dim yourvariable%
yourvariable = int(mid([B3],7,4))

or

Dim yourvariable%
yourvariable = int(Right([B3],4))

or

Dim yourvariable%
yourvariable = year(cdate([B3]))

Answer 2

Consider:

Sub dural()
    Dim v As Variant

    v = Split(Range("B3").Text, "/")(2)
    MsgBox v
End Sub
