Help please - Introducing formula to ebf 8mo!

Have been ebf lo but I'm going back to work and studies in a couple of months so decided to introduce formula for morning and bedtime feeds and continue bf during the night if she wakes up for a snack!
My DP would give her a bottle of expressed milk a couple of times every week and never had problems with that.
We've tried every formula brand there is and she hates them all. we've started combining formula and breastmilk in a 1:2 ratio but she's still not impressed. I'm at my wits end, anyone had the same problem, how did you make it? any advice?

If she will take ebm, has your DH tried introducing the formula by mixing it with the ebm one ounce at a time? So if she takes 6floz, do 5 of ebm and 1 of formula mixed together and when she gets used to that, up it to 2 do formula and carry on until it’s all formula.
