I have 2 tables of data. Table 1 has a column of data with a text message. Below is a simplified example - sometimes the Column X data can be 5 lines of data so the Key 'm matching against may not always be in the first row of the cell. Depending on the text, I'm looking up the next step to do in our process. But I cannot get the lookup to work. used color coding to align which sections used where. Any thoughts?

Table 1
Column XLogic
Fatal Error: The process cannot access the file=@INDEX(Errors!$C$2:$C$99,AGGREGATE(15,6,MATCH("*"&Errors!$B$2:$B$99&"*",Q8,0)*(ROW(Errors!$B$2:$B$99)-ROW(Errors!B$2)+1),1))
Access to the path has been denied.
Failed: No records processed.
System failure. File in use by another process.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Since you have Excel 365, how about?:
