Date into Text Strings

Hi all,

 

I am trying to convert below values (data type: date) into text. 

 

Example in MMddYYYY formatting:

12/30/2023

01/08/2022

07/15/2023

 

Convert to text strings: *keeping only year and month* so expected result should look like below

 

202312

202201

202307

 

Is there anyone who can help me with m code?

Thank you @AlienSx !

 

I tested with:

Date.ToText([column], "yyyyMM") and it works!
