If your this date field is not a proper date field, you might have to try like:

Date(Date#(YourDateField, 'MMM YYYY'), 'MMM-YYYY') as NewDate

And yes, now I note that your date format is not uniform, somewhere three-letters;somewhere four-letters for month. They are expected to be uniform with three-letters.
