IF Statement to return a Date value

I'd like to create an nested If Statement to return a date based on meeting a specific condition. I'd like to be able to "hardcode" the date in the IF statement. Here is a quick example =IF([Value]1 = "Option2", 4/23/2019, IF([Value]1 = "Option2", 4/24/2019, 4/25/2019)) . If the date is quote wrapped ed "4/24/2019" then it doesn't return a date but instead returns a text value. If the date is not quote wrapped then the date gets updated in the formula to ex: 4 / 23 / 2019 and it returns a #DATE EXPECTED error message.

You'll need to use the Date function...

=IF(Value@row="Option 1", Date(2019, 04, 23), IF(Value@row="Option 2", Date(2019, 04, 24), Date(2019, 04, 25))

Would work.
