First install this UDF:

Function isdatee(r As Range) As Boolean
isdatee = IsDate(r.Value)
End Function

and then the formula becomes:

=IF(isdatee(Q11), P11,"")

Why doesn't this formula work? =IF(Q11=DATE, P11). Can you not use a
date
as part of a calculation or question, and if not, what alternative
would be
recommended?

The idea is: The formula I want is to copy cell P11 into cell R11 if
there's
text/data(which in this case is a date) in cell Q11. Is there
something
other than DATE that I could use?
