Problem : Formatting date field in list.
Solution : you can play with that by creating calculated field that contains the following formula
=TEXT([Date Field Name],"dd mm, yyyy")
But if the date field is optional so the NULL values will return default date value so you need to check if the value is NULL to return nothing , the formula will be
=IF([Date Field Name]=""," ",TEXT([Date Field Name],"dd/mm/yyyy"))
The first part checks if the value is NULL so it returns “ “ however you can add any text in between if you want like “ No date “ , the second part is placing the date text and format it and you can play with the format types.
