I've tried a selection of formulas, mostly trying VLookups and IF statements to pull the information I need but I don't seem to be getting the result I want.

I'm trying do the following:
I want to pull the highlighted date in Table 2 (keeping in mind table 2 is on another sheet in my Workbook) into the Date column in Table 1 for A. I thought about specifying the text in column 2 of Table 2 in the formula?

Table 1
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 200, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]ID[/TD]
[TD]Date[/TD]

[TD]A[/TD]

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
There is no conditional formatting formula I've just coloured the text red in this thread to highlight which field I want to pull into table 1

Hi,

You're Not telling us under what conditions to pull what information into the Date column in Table 1.

For instance, ID A has 5 entries in Table 2, why are you wanting the highlighted date of 3/03/2018?
