Good morning!

I've been able to change the caption of my ActiveX Buttons using the below; However, is there no way to change the formatting in the way that the text is displayed?
VBA Code:
Worksheets("Snapshot").CommandButton2.Caption = Worksheets("ValueShipped").Range("Q2")


For context, cell Q2 is a WORKDAY formula then the cell is formatted with a custom "ddd, mmm dd" to display Thu, Sep 14. The VBA to change the caption of the button displays 9/14/2023, but I would like it to display the custom number formatting.
Excel Formula:
WORKDAY(TODAY(),1,ValueShipped!$F$2:$F$300)


I've tried using this VBA but it doesn't work. Throws an error. Is there a way for this to work?
VBA Code:
Worksheets("Snapshot").CommandButton2.Caption = Worksheets("ValueShipped").Range("Q2").NumberFormat = "ddd, mmm dd"
