#  Excel starting date: 1900/1/0 (converted time formatted value from 0), 1900/1/1 (converted time formatted value from 1), 1900/1/2 ...  
#  Excel starting date: 1900/1/0 (converted time formatted value from 0), 1900/1/1 (converted time formatted value from 1), 1900/1/2 ...  
#* solution: step1: Replace the year > 100 from this year with empty value at EXCEL: {{kbd | key =<nowiki>=IF(ISERR(YEAR(A2)), "", IF(YEAR(A2)<1914, "", A2))</nowiki>}} (this formula also handle empty value and non well-formatted column value ex: 0000-12-31 ) ; step2: change the format of cell to time format
#* solution: step1: Replace the year > 100 from this year with empty value at EXCEL: {{kbd | key =<nowiki>=IF(ISERR(YEAR(A2)), "", IF(YEAR(A2)<1914, "", A2))</nowiki>}} (this formula also handle empty value and non well-formatted column value ex: 0000-12-31 ) ; step2: change the format of cell to time format
#* trivial approach : EXCEL: {{kbd | key =<nowiki>=IF(ISERR(YEAR(A2)), "", IF(YEAR(A2)-YEAR(NOW())>100, "", A2))</nowiki>}}  {{exclaim}} this formula could not handle empty value because it return 0. If I change the format of cell to time format, 0 will become 1900/1/0.
