    Hi Mates,

    working fine with when excel date field don`t have blank only, but what if we have row has blank value..?

     

    addDays('1899-12-30',int(output('compose'),'yyyy-MM-dd')

     

    i can convert and insert date values, when value is there in excel

    what if excel has blank  it should should not stop, it should iterate with next values.

    any help here if no value then it should blank, else update with excel value

    Please give a try with the following expression:

     

    if(greater(length(outputs('Compose')),0),addDays('12-30-1899',int(outputs('Compose')),'MM-dd-yyyy'),null)
     
    Please let me know if you have any more questions.
