I have Refences in Col G

I have tried to set up a formula below to look up the reference in Col G on workbook Sales BR1.xlsm on sheet Data Import in Col D as well as on Sales BR2.xlsm]Data Import’ and if it exists to return the ref number, otherwise return a blank

It would be appreciated if someone could amend my formula

Code:
 =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(G2,'[Sales BR1.xlsm]Data Import’!$D:$D,1,FALSE),VLOOKUP(G2, Sales BR2.xlsm]Data Import’!$D:$D,1,FALSE),””)

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Do you need to test for an error in the 2nd VLOOKUP?
Something like... (untested)

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(G2,'[Sales BR1.xlsm]Data Import’!$D:$D,1,FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(G2, Sales BR2.xlsm]Data Import’!$D:$D,1,FALSE),""),””)

You're missing another IFERROR and a square bracket.

=IFERROR(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(G2,'[Sales BR1.xlsm]Data Import'!$D:$D,1,FALSE),VLOOKUP(G2, '[Sales BR2.xlsm]Data Import'!$D:$D,1,FALSE)),"")
