Trying to bring contents from one worksheet into another using VLOOKUP and I need help with an error.

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,'Images'!$D$2:$D$40,MATCH(C4,'Images'!$D$2:$D$40,0),0,)))
 
Interesting that they behave differently under full column referencing and the lookup value cell is blank. Match will error out and XLookup will find the first blank.
This will address the issue:
Excel Formula:
=IF(D6="","",XLOOKUP( D6, Images!E:E,Images!D:D, ""))

Bingo! That's the one. Brilliant.
