OK, for the life of me, I can't figure this out. I have a date field that comes in as a string, and it is formatted as follows: YYYYMM
I would like it to display as MM/YYYY so I can filter, etc. Essentially, this is for Past Due balance report so I will want to be able to display data in a desired date range.

If you just want to use for display purposes and not calculations.

right({stringvalue},2)+"/"+left({stringvalue]),4)
