Is there a way to convert a numerical string to a number value in Beast Mode?
We have a very large dataset (10+MM rows currently) and for some reason our fiscal week is located in a column formated as YYYYMMWW. I can use a RIGHT(`FiscalYearWeek`,2) to get the value for the week, but it's a string, not a number. Is there a way to convert this to a number so I can then compare it via greater or lesser than?

you can convert the string to a numeric value by multiplying it by 1. so try
RIGHT(`FiscalYearWeek`,2)*1
for me, the RIGHT function is not working i think because it's a new function that may not be rolled out on my instance.

Still testing to see if it works, it seems to be just one of many issues I have in this card. Once I can test that it fixed it's part, I'll come back and update.

Also try the following. it should work if your months are always 2 characters (01,02, 10,12, etc.)
SUBSTRING(`FiscalYearWeek`,7,2)*1
