I'm new to Smartsheets and I'm trying to figure out how to do an IF([Response]3="Yes", VLookup formula linked to a reference data sheet. I've tried various ways to input and always get Unparseable. Any help is appreciated!
You have to create that reference in the little drop-down data that appears while typing in your formula. Then you will select your range and finish the formula.

Try troubleshooting by comparing your lookup to the instructions found on the function post itself. Or the limitations as seen on the second article.
Those might give you some clues as to how you should set it up.

The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
