Using MYSQL transform how would I convert/create a date field changing mm/dd/yyyy to mm/yyyy?

If you're using a BeastMode formulat for this, the format would be something like this:

 

DATE_FORMAT(`Date Field`, '%m/%Y')

 

Or if you're doing a transform, you can just add this into your select statement like this:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(`Date Field`, '%m/%Y') AS 'New Date' FROM Table

 

If you're field is a text field and you need to convert to a date before formatting you can do something like this:

DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(`Date Field`,'%m/%d/%Y'), '%m/%Y')

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps.
