Default Vlookup on blank cells formatted with dates

I am trying to do a IF(ISNA(Vlookup)) function to return dates. The problem
is my function returns a weird date when my lookup value is blank, when I
change the format of the cell from date to general, text, etc, this time it
returns 0. I want my function to return blank when the cell I am trying to
look up is blank. Does anyone know how to do this? My function is as
follows:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,'[Workbook]Tab2'!$A:$Z,2,FALSE)), VLOOKUP(A1,
'[Workbook]Tab1'!$A:$Z,2,FALSE), VLOOKUP(A1,'[Workbook]Tab2'!$A:$Z,2,FALSE))

second row (2) above is the cell with the date

Thanks
