Incorrect Argument Set error when using Vlookup to reference another sheet.

I am using a Vlookup to use a row id in sheet A to lookup the corresponding row id in sheet B and return the value in the status column - the syntax looks correct to me but I am getting an Incorrect Argument Set error.

This is the syntax I am using:

=VLOOKUP([Row ID]@row, {Cutover Tasks Range - Row ID}, 6, false)

Can you tell me what is wrong here?

Thanks

    Are all the Columns in the ref right next to each other. This requirement is why i prefer using Index Match

    =Index({Status Ref},Match([Row ID]@row,{Row ID Ref},0))
