Use the DateTime tool in the Parse section. That'll change it from a string to a date type

Your formula would be dd-MMM-yy (or you could select the dd-Mon.-yy option in the list). This will then create a new field which defaults as DateTime_Out. You can either rename it in the DateTime tool or use a select afterwards. See screenshot above

 

Hope this helps

using a formula tool the most direct option is to use datetimeparse:

 

datetimeparse([field],"%d-%B-%y")

 

where:

%d - two digit date

%B - short abbreviation of the month

%y - two digit year

 

you can use this in a formula and then change the field type after with a select tool. This prevents the need for an additional column.
