You would get the error if E2 did not contain a valid date.

In a cell enter =ISNUMBER(E2)

If not a date it will return FALSE.

Re-enter the date in E2 in the proper order for your Regional Settings.

My settings would require me to enter it as dd/mm/yy

cell E2 is Hire Date 11/24/93 and cell D2 is empty.
Everytime i enter formula it keeps giving error result #VALUE.
I'd be glad if somebody could help me to solve this problem by guiding me
through?
Thank you for your help in advance.
