I am using a VLookup from another worksheet that returns a date value but when there is not date in that worksheet it returns an arbitrary value of January 0, 1900 instead of being blank. Here is my current formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E11,VDatabase,22,FALSE),"")
hi jaredmccullough. try:
=IFERROR(1/(1/VLOOKUP(E11,VDatabase,22,FALSE)),"")

Thank you for the quick response just for my general learning purposes how did dividing by (1) correct the situation?
you're very welcome. let's give a couple of scenarios for the result of the VLOOKUP
say the result is 10
IFERROR(1/(1/10),"")
=IFERROR(1/0.1,"")
=IFERROR(10,"")
=10
say the result is 0
IFERROR(1/(1/0),"")
=IFERROR(1/#DIV/0!,"")
=IFERROR(#DIV/0!,"")
=""
