I have a very large dataset (100,000+ records) and one of the fields is a date field that is in this format: mm/dd/yyyy. I have tried using "=YEAR(A1)" to get the year value from the column A which has the original date to column B with only the year date. It just gives me a very weird date like "6/31/1905" but my dates are definitely not in that range. Any other advice?

Format the cell containing the formula:
=YEAR(A1)
as General

In a normal table, I can easily filter the Date Column and specify multiple criteria. Example Data is after X AND is after Y.
How can I do this in a Pivot Table?
Example
Thanks
It isn't supported. Here is a workaround. Create a column in your source data which duplicates the date data exactly, for example, date1 and date2. Then you can apply one filter to each field.

We have a large sheet with expiration dates. Most are currently formatted MM/YYYY. Unforunately the new ones are MM/DD/YYYY. How can I add 01 (first day of the month) to the MM/YYYY formatted dates so they comply with MM/DD/YYYY?
Example:
Convert 05/2016 to 05/01/2016
Thanks!
=DATE(YEAR(cell_with_date),MONTH(cell_with_date),1)

I need to take the value corresponding to a certain date, and use it in another table or sheet:
In one sheet, I have two columns, one for the dates (every day of the year) and the other for the fixed values.
In the other sheet, I need to take those fixed values according to the date, which I enter manually.
Tried using the IF function with no success.
Here is an example using =VLOOKUP:
