Pull Date from Reference sheet by using collect option

Hi, I'm trying to pull date from another sheet (Sheet2) to Sheet1 using Collect option but the value is showing error as #DATE EXPECTED. I'm not sure where i'm missing the value.

Sheet1:

ERROR = #DATE EXPECTED

FORMULA: =COLLECT({Date Range}, {Name Range}, [Trainee Name]@row, {Training Name Range}, "Training1")

Sheet2:

Can i get some help here please.

Try: =JOIN(COLLECT({Date Range}, {Name Range}, [Trainee Name]@row, {Training Name Range}, "Training1"))

COLLECT needs to be used with another function. Use JOIN to bring in text.

Your formula will only work if there's 1 date found. If it returns 2 dates you'll get an error.

Work?
