I have data in Col D as follows:

Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
D1="Updated on: "&TEXT(NOW(), "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm")


I have a formula to extract the month & year


Code:
=MID(D1,FIND(":",D1)+6,6)


I need a formula to remove the /


the formula returns 4/2018 based on the data in Col D1 which is currently "Updated on: 05/04/2018 17:08"


It would be appreciated if someone could kindly amend my formula
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
So you want the 4/2018 to be changed to 42018?

Maybe this?

=REPLACE(A1,FIND("/",A1),1,"")

Why don't you just use a different NOW() formula formatted differently?

=TEXT(NOW(),"myyyy")

or just use =NOW() and format the cell as myyyy
