Deleting dates and vlookup
 

I have a vlookup working between two workbooks, however one of the
columns is a date format dd/mm. If i blank out a date in the first
workbook it appears as 00-01 in the second workbook. Is there a way to
have my data to look like a date but to make the cell in second workbook
appear blank if its blanked out in the first workbook instead of showing
00-01?
