The DATEONLY function solves this.
="Meeting Date: " + DATEONLY([Column4]@row)
I hope that helps.

Date without time
Hi - I'm trying to add a column that has text and then pulls a date from another column. Example: Meeting date: [date from other column]. When I do this it says 8:00am and then the date. How do I pull just the date and take the time off? Where is that time coming from?

@fruition2023 I assume you're pulling the date from either a Created date or Modified date system column. If you just want the date value, add a helper column that is a date-type column. In this column, use the simple =[date from other column]@row formula. This will carry only the date portion of the date-time stamp into the helper date column. Then you can reference the helper cell with your other formula, for instance:
="Meeting date: " + HelperDateColumn@row

Thank you! I had tried the date only function and got an error, but when I pasted your formula it worked!
