Just trying to understand your question properly, so for clarification:
 (1a) Your two sheets differ in column A, in that the first has a date/time stamp, the second date 
only (extracted from the first)?
 (1b) Does each row of the second sheet reflect the date of the corresponding row in the first 
sheet (in other words, dates are repeated on the second sheet, as suggested by your formula 
($Data.A4, $Data.A5, $Data.A6, ...), or is each date on the second sheet listed just once?
 (2) We don't need to worry about columns B or D of the first sheet, just column C? [Any 
significance to columns B-C-D being indexed in three different formats 
(Numeric-UPPERCASE-lowercase)?]

 (3a) Did you try confirming that conjecture using a test example with just the date, not a 
date/time stamp?
 (3b) How is that date/time field acquired? Could it be acquired/input as two separate fields, date 
and time?

 (4) [This is related to questions 1 and 3] Given that you acquire the date for your second sheet's 
column A as a text field, is there a possible data type mismatch?
