Converting Date to Week/Year Format
I have an output from SAP that produces the column in the left and I am looking for a formula that will get it to format like the column on the right, so when I create a pivot table the ww/yyyy formated dates are in the correct order. Excel thinks that 01/2020 means January 2020, but in this case it is actually the first week of the 2020 year.

From you sample it's not clear how data are formatted in left column. Assuming converted to mm/yyyy dates are not formatted back to text, formula could be
=IF(ISTEXT(A1), A1, TEXT(MONTH(A1),"00") & "/" & YEAR(A1))- abutula1988Copper Contributor
