My formula is returning date as 00/01/1900 with this formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A3,'Processing Analytics.xlsx'!Table1[[Completion time]:[Closure Date:]],MATCH("Closure Date:",'Processing Analytics.xlsx'!Table1[[#Headers],[Completion time]:[Closure Date:]],0),0),"")

I've tried looking through the other articles and tried adding in an additional VLOOKUP statement but it's not working.

I need the return value to be blank if the cell is empty.

Any ideas?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
How about
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(1/(1/VLOOKUP($A3,'Processing Analytics.xlsx'!Table1[[Completion time]:[Closure Date:]],MATCH("Closure Date:",'Processing Analytics.xlsx'!Table1[[#Headers],[Completion time]:[Closure Date:]],0),0)),"")

Thank you Fluff,

Unfortunately that didn't work. The "IFERROR" was referencing the "(1/(1/(" part of the formula and selecting data from the same workbook instead of the correct workbook.

That formula does exactly what your formula did, but if the result of the formula is 0 or blank you will get a blank cell.
