Vlookup Date into another Date field - #DATE EXPECTED Error
Hello,
I am using a VLOOKUP to pull a date into a sheet from another sheet. Both columns (date source / range, and destination column) are Date column types, but the destination sheet is returning the # DATE EXPECTED error.
I thought if you were pulling a date from a date column, into another date column, the return value would be a date.
Here is my formula:
=VLOOKUP([Email]@row, {Date Range}, 6, 0)

Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
Can you share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Above is the source sheet - this is a simple date column, collecting dates. I want to use these values in another sheet, and am using VLOOKUP to accomplish that.
Below is the error, same column setup as input sheet

Try changing the column to text. What does it show?

Same error when changing column type to Text.
I deleted the column, re-added, re-typed formula, and now it works...
Maybe I do that before posting in community next time!
Thank you for the help.

Excellent! Glad you got it working!
A glitch in the Matrix? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Happy to help!
