  1. Break your year out into a temp single line field using this formula: =YEAR(Date_Time)
  2. Create another temp field (ShortYear) where using this formula to get the 2 rightmost characters: =RIGHT(Year,2)
  3. Concatenate them all together into a new field (New Date): =CONCATENATE(MONTH(Date_Time),"/",ShortYear)

4.  Hide the temp fields - Just make sure to save the data.

After hiding the fields:

Good luck!

In the Single Line Field Advanced tab, in the Formula, you can use

=CONCATENATE(RIGHT(CONCATENATE("0",TEXT(MONTH(Date))),2),"/",RIGHT(TEXT(YEAR(Date)),2))
