Concatenate - Display field in different Date format

All,

I need a field that provides the following output in the sheet below: 1 (2-Jan-2023). I do have all the components and basically I need to concatenate Nr. & the Start Date.. but Smartsheet keeps on changing this to the default format, despite my column format.

Sprint number is currently : =[Nr.]@row + " (" + DateFormat@row + ")"

Thanks in advance for any help provided

    See below, you need to build this manually:

    =IF(ISDATE(Start@row), [Nr.]@row + " (" + DAY(Start@row) + "-" + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 1, "Jan", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 2, "Feb", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 3, "Mar", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 4, "Apr", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 5, "May", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 6, "Jun", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 7, "Jul", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 8, "Aug", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 9, "Sep", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 10, "Oct", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 11, "Nov", "") + IF(MONTH(Start@row) = 12, "Dec", "") + "-" + +YEAR(Start@row) + ")", "")
