You don't need to waste resources going to date and back, that's way too complex:<br />
<br />
SELECT STUFF(char_string_yyyymm, 5, 0, '-')<br />
FROM ( VALUES('201812') ) AS test_data(char_string_yyyy<wbr />mm)
</div>


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
convert varchar date &nbsp;string as date<br />
year and month<br />
<br />
Field value is &nbsp; 201812 &nbsp;<br />
<br />
CAST(LEFT([CALMONTH],10) AS DATE),'yyyy-mm'<br />
<br />
trying the above and not working ?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
