Morning All,
I have the following formula included to pull dates and where the cell contains no date I want it to appear blank, however when the cell is blank it returns 0/01/1900, is there anyway to correct this?
Below is the code I use:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(O3,'Dates'!E:G,3,FALSE),"")

Change null string to a space?0 -
Tried it on Excel 2010 and your formula does give a blank cell but if formula is =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(O3,'Dates'!E:G,3,FALSE),O3) and the cells are formatted as dates you get the 00/01/1900 you describe.
=IF(ISBLANK(O3),"",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(O3,E:G,3,FALSE),""))
should work.0
