VLookup giving wrong result based upon date

Hello all and thank you for taking a moment to read over this.

I have a spreadsheet where the date is entered in column B, a vlookup formula in column A then looks at columns AA to AG to return what week that date falls on in column AH. The yellow highlighted cells in A and B columns are the ones returning the errors, but the formula is the same as the other cells in column A. For the life of me, I cannot see why putting in 9/4/2020 is returning Aug Week 5 and not Sep Week 1. I've tried an index/match formula, but it returns a NA, but I may have figured that wrong.
Current vlookup formula - =IF(B10="","",VLOOKUP(B10,$AA$4:$AH$30,8,1))
if I change the 1 to 0, I get NA error.

I've pretty much burned out what braincells I have that are actually working on a Friday, so if anyone has any thoughts where I went sideways on this, I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Jon

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
The formula is returning the nearest lower date from col AH, which is 30th Aug.

can you install xl2bb and dump that as a table rather than image

Unfortunately, at this time, no. Not long after posting this, excel decided it was time for a rest and shut off on me. I hadn't saved for a while and I lost what I had entered into the worksheet for most of today. I'll have to try to update with the requested information after I rebuild the sheet.

I should have stayed at home in bed today.

you can get the weeks from just a date, you don't need a reference table, I don't think

Hello again. I rebuilt it as close to what I had it when I started this thread. Here is the table
