Avoid no match until data is populated
I am pulling information i.e. a date, from one spreadsheet over to another spreadsheet. Since the date field may still be empty on the source sheet, the formula displays "no match" on the spreadsheet. Once a date is being added to the source sheet, then the formula displays the date on the other spreadsheet. How can I suppress seeing "no match" until a date is being entered? I tried to use conditional formatting, but that does not work i.e. if date - use black font, if no match - use white font. That does not work. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your assistance.

Here's an example
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP([Asset ID]@row; Headset:Stat; 5; 0) = "Shipped"; "No"; "Yes"); "Error")
Make sense?

Fantastic. It worked without the second "if".
=IFERROR((VLOOKUP([Project Number]@row, {DAX Ambient Inventory Range 1}, 3), " "))
Thank you very much.

You can add an IFERROR function at the start of the formula.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Please help me out, Andree, to understand exactly what you mean. Where should the IFERROR go? In between the = and the vlookup or after the vlookup and prior to the ( ?
Thanks so much.
