@sriniprad08 this one uses RegEx to get the Year out.  No need for the intermediate step either.

This also assumes your date field structure is consistent in your full data set.  I am guessing it would be seeing as it included the lead zeros on month, day and the time element.  😊

Hi @DanielG ,

 

Great thanks. As per the requirement i need to have two separate column as output one with "." and other with "-". But currently your solution have both in same column. how can i modify that?

@sriniprad08  Just copy the formula for the 1 column into another and swap out the punctuation to give you both output fields
