          If you're using the number return type, this punctuation occurs automatically, and depends on locale (for example, mine would read "2,018" instead, since I'm in the US). To get it as just text, you need to convert it to text:



          TEXT(YEAR(DATEVALUE( ActivatedDate )))


          You'll need to change the return type appropriately.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
