Same error to me

It doesn't work. I do not understand the message below. I don't need it explained to me. I just need a formula that works please. Thank you.
"There's a problem with this formula.
When trying to insert the formula Excel replies:

If you type: =1=1, cell shows : 2
To get around this, type an apostrphe (') first:
But if you type: '=1=1, cell shows: =1+1"
Why ?

I get the result like: 01/10/yyyy 14:15:00.000+03:00
Do you know how to remove the yyyy and get the actual year?
And do you know how to remove the GMT + 3 to a fixed hour?

Thanks
