Thanks for the response Sergei. Users are all located in same region, but it is happening only for few of them. Is there a place where we can check this?

Settings->Time&language->Language & region->Administrative language settings->Formats tab

SergeiBaklan - thanks for responding.
So would the OS date formats define or derive what gets displayed with this formula "=TEXT(TODAY()-DAY(TODAY()),"MMM-YYYY")" even though we are trying to set the format as "MMM-YYYY"?
We want every user to have one format as "MMM-YYYY" ('Feb-2024').
Thanks!
