Default Custom Format Cell with Reference to another sheet

Hi
I know this somehow can be done, but having trouble understanding it.

What I have is 2 sheets eg MISC ATB and MONTH ATB

In a cell on the MONTH ATB I would like to have in a cell "GENERAL" &
refencing a date on the MISC ATB sheet say A2 and this to be formatted as
MMM-YYYY
Thanking you and hoping you can help

Thanking you very much, the problem was that the original data was not
formatted as a date. Having typed you formula which was similar to what I
was originally trying to do, made me look further.

Thanks again
