Add row into excel failing when date field is blank

[jemmakeir]

Hi

I am using a compose action to convert a date field from sharepoint in order to add it into an excel sheet. As this field is not and should not be compulsory it is often blank. for this reason the add row flow fails on any rows where this field is blank.

I need it to add the row either leaving that cell blank or inputting something like 'NA'

Hello @jemmakeir 

Yiu can try using an if() expression in that date field. Something like:

if(empty(‘Your Date’), ‘null’, ‘Your Date’)

note that ‘Your Date’ is your dynamic content for the date. And the ‘null’ this the expression null

Thanks, I tried this but it states expression is invalid: if(empty(‘outputs('ActiveDueDate')’), ‘null’, ‘outputs('ActiveDueDate')’)

Hi @jemmakeir 

Try this:

if(empty(outputs('ActiveDueDate')),null,outputs('ActiveDueDate'))

[jemmakeir]

perfect, thank you 🙂

@jemmakeir  I have tested from my side that even the 'Due Date' is blank, the 'Add a row into a table' should still run with success.

Could you please provide a screenshot of the error you are having?
