Hi Pranav,
If you’re doing this in a Field Update :-
DATE(VALUE(LEFT(TextField__c, 4)), VALUE(RIGHT(TextField__c, 2)), 1)
In apex code use the following –
String dateString = ‘2014-09’;
Integer year = Integer.valueOf(dateString.subString(0, 4));
Integer month = Integer.valueOf(dateString.subString(5));
Date d = Date.newInstance(year, month, 1);
