DATE FIELDS WILL NULL VALUES

Hi I just have a problem removing the null values in a date format type of data. I already used the data cleansing tool but the null values remained. Can you help me solve this problem? Is there any tool to replace the null values into blank ?

Hi @dunkindonut7777,

 

If your data type is a date then you will not be able to change it to blank unless you will change it to a string.

 

I have tested it myself and after that I checked the formula and it confirmed my previous test:
