I'm trying to convert my Date which is (eg. 2012-04-20 05:54:59) format in into mm-yyyy. I came across some solutions that says you would need to convert into varchar . Is there any way using the Convert function ?
Thanks :)

You can use FORMAT
function, available from SQL Server 2012 onwards:
DECLARE @myDate DATETIME = '2012-04-20 05:54:59'
SELECT FORMAT(@myDate, 'MM-yyyy')
Output:
04-2012
There might be a more graceful way to pull this off, but the below works.
Declare @dt datetime = GETDATE()
SELECT LEFT('0' + CAST(MONTH(@dt) as varchar(2)),2) + '-' + CAST(YEAR(@dt) as char(4))
btw my normal Date Conversion cheat sheet is here, but I'm not seeing MM-YYYY as one of the formats.
select [MM-YYYY] = right(convert(varchar(10),getdate(),105),7)
As you are using SQL Server 2014, You can use FORMAT
which is the best also you can apply this:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),MONTH(yourDateTimeField)) + '-' +
CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),YEAR(yourDateTimeField)) AS [MM-YYYY]
FROM yourTable
ORDER BY yourDateTimeField
