Didn't catch what are the numbers are in K28:K400. Birthday could be converted into date as
=LET( myBirthdayStr, Sheet1!$A$5, dateTxt, TRIM(TEXTAFTER(A5, ":")), splitDate, TEXTSPLIT(dateTxt,"/"), DATE(INDEX(splitDate,3),INDEX(splitDate,2),INDEX(splitDate,1)) )what is after that?

If $D5 has ANY partial match to ANY cell in the K range, then I simply need $D5 copied over to $E5. And if there is no match, then I want $E5 left blank. Hope that clears things. Thank you for your help.

I can download the workbook, but it heavily depends on US date format, so I cannot do anything with it.
I hope that someone who uses US date format can help you.
