Hello,

Can someone help me with the V-lookup formula for this action?

I would like to auto-fill Sheet 1 C2 with the date from Sheet 2 C2. I would also like to copy the formula down and if there is no date in Sheet 2 C2 then Sheet 1 C2 would be blank. Right now my formula: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$2,3,0),"") is returning with "01/00/00" when there is no date in Sheet 2.

Sheet 1

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Thank you BobUmlas. How do I format the date to where I can type the ;;? I've used the Number drop down tool and changed the format of Sheet1 column C to short date.
