I am doing a vlookup on a worksheet that shows a blank date in the field yet
on the vlookup it shows as 1/0/00. How can I correct this.
 
You seem to have the formula cell formatted as DATE so I'm assuming that
you're expecting a date result and 0 is not a possible result of the
formula.

Try something like this:

=IF(your_vlookup_formula_here=0,"",your_vlookup_formula_here)
 
Trap for it in your formula

=IF(VLOOKUP(G1,$A$1:$F$31,2,FALSE)="","",(VLOOKUP(G1,$A$1:$F$31,2,FALSE)))
