Database column Mapping-Date Column

I have a column in excel which is of 12/01/2024 (MM/DD/YYYY) format, when reading in KNIME the output is shown as 2024-12-01. But I want the column to be present in same format as like in excel also having Datatype as “Local Date”.

when I convert the date column to specific format MM/DD/YYYY, the datatype of knime node output is string but I want to convert the date column to Local Date data type inorder to push it into database table, but whenever I type cast it to date type it is showing date as yyyy-mm-dd format. Can someone help how to retain the date data type along with the format (mm/dd/yyyy) of the column

Kindly help here.
