Try using column data formats or else use string functions as Mr. Gianni suggested.

It's simple logic, if you don't store the right format in your database, you just have to build it by yourself.

So with some basic logic you could multiply YEAR(date) by 100 and you sum it with MONTH(date) and you can finally turn the resulting number into a char if that's the format you are after.

Thanks for the reply.

We used below year and month functions but format we are getting is 20186, we are looking for 201806 can you suggest on this.

CAST(YEAR("table.Date") AS CHAR)||CAST(MONTH("table.Date") AS CHAR)

is there any other function which we can achieve in 201806 format
