Date Format not translating to plain text
Options
I have a Date column which I have formatted as short form Day and Date (example: Mon 18-Sep-2023), which I am trying to convert to plain text.
I know adding +"" to the formula of the other column will convert the Date column into plain text, but it returns as 09/18/23, not "Mon 18-Sep-2023".
Is there any work around for this issue?

Try something like this where Finish is the date column in question:
=DAY(Finish@row) + "-" + nested_IF_to_output_month_text + "-" + YEAR(Finish@row)
The nested IF for the month text would look something along the lines of:
IF(MONTH(Finish@row) = 1, "Jan", IF(MONTH(Finish@row) = 2, "Feb", IF(MONTH(Finish@row) = 3, "Mar", ...........................................
