Date Format Change

Is there a way to change the date format from the default of MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MMM/YYYY, example being today's date of 18NOV2016?
Cheers.

Use Calculated value with vbscript sth like this:
-----------------------------
Option Explicit
' Get Document date.
Dim szDatums
szDatums = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty( 1185 ).TypedValue.DisplayValue
Dim szMonth
szMonth = MONTH(szDatums)
Dim szYear
szYear = YEAR(szDatums)
' Create title.
Dim szName
szName = "MyReport - " & szYear & "." & szMonth
' Set result.
Output = szName
------------------------------
