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

Hi @Anonymous

You could use empty, length, null checks in Power Automate using IF condition. Add an IF condition to check against the column or compose to determine whether its null or length > 0 etc.

@Anonymous ,

Please try the below 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 questions.

Hi @Anonymous

The expression you can use the one which we discussed yesterday as in one IF expression then again if you have more than one action steps to use better to use an IF condition as an action step.

If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks
