Can someone help me understand why this VLOOKUP formula isn't working?

I have worksheet 1 with raw data and there is a column of cells custom formatted m/d/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM.

I have worksheet 2 (same file) that is using VLOOKUP to reference a unique segment id located on the same line of each date/time in worksheet 1 and therefore should be displaying the date and time of the respective row in worksheet 2.

My issue is ALL dates/times that are being pulled into worksheet 2 from the raw data are all equal to the very last row's date/time. (8/4/2017 10:55:37 AM happens to be the last displayed date/time in the raw data) After I try to run VLOOKUP on every row, all pulled data is exactly the same (8/4/2017 10:55:37 AM). I've found issues where date/time formatting is off and won't work with VLOOKUP but as I don't have a lookup value of the date/time but merely want to display the date/time as it appears in a specific cell, can anyone please explain why it's not working?

Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Possibly, you have omitted an argument in your formula. If you post the formula and some sample data, that possibility can be ascertained.
