I need the vlookup to pull the format from the source data to the return data. This is the code I currently have. I getting a #VALUE! error. =LookupKeepFormat(W2,A:D,2,FALSE)

I stubbled across this - How to copy source formatting of the lookup cell when using Vlookup in Excel?

I feel like I am almost there!

Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Update by Extendoffice 20180706
Dim I As Long
Dim xKeys As Long
Dim xDicStr As String
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
xKeys = UBound(xDic.Keys)
If xKeys >= 0 Then
For I = 0 To UBound(xDic.Keys)
xDicStr = xDic.Items(I)
If xDicStr <> "" Then
Range(xDic.Items(I)).Copy
Range(xDic.Keys(I)).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Else
Range(xDic.Keys(I)).Interior.Color = xlNone
End If
Next
Set xDic = Nothing
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.CutCopyMode = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Public xDic As New Dictionary
'Update by Extendoffice 20180706
Function LookupKeepFormat(ByRef FndValue, ByRef LookupRng As Range, ByRef xCol As Long)
Dim xFindCell As Range
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set xFindCell = LookupRng.Find(FndValue, , xlValues, xlWhole)
If xFindCell Is Nothing Then
LookupKeepFormat = " "
xDic.Add Application.Caller.Address, " "
Else
LookupKeepFormat = xFindCell.Offset(0, xCol - 1).Value
xDic.Add Application.Caller.Address, xFindCell.Offset(0, xCol - 1).Address
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
