Ho, ho - you are making it up!

o In B1, enter =TEXT(A1,"YYYY") and fill down the column.
o Use =COUNTIF(B1:B50,"2011") .

Or:
o In B1, enter =VALUE(TEXT(A1,"YYYY")) and fill down the column.
o Use =COUNTIF(B1:B50,2011) .

Note that the column here suggested as B can be hidden or put away 
elsewhere on the sheet or even on another sheet.

I trust this helps.
