    Using VLOOKUP to display date if present, if not display today's date

    Right now I'm currently using an IFERROR, VLOOKUP formula to display an availability date for a product.

    Atm, it reads some like this

    However this isn't the most effective and will have to be changed everytime I run a new report.

    What I would like to do is run the VLOOKUP against my Master Delivery Date data, if a date is present for that style I would like it to return that date. If it is not present in the table I would like it to return today's date.

    Thoughts? Thanks in advance

    jusy use the error condition as today() or preferably reference a cell with =today() in it

    Replace "2/26/09" with TODAY()
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
