What value do you want to assign? Do you have an expected output?

All you need is a formula tool after that.

 

Date

 

if isnull([Date]) then tonumber(datetimeformat(DateTimeparse('20240101','%Y%m%d'),'%Y%m%d')) else [Date] endif

 

 

Status

 

if IsNull([Status]) then 'Status is blank' else [Status] endif

@cjaneczko am not getting the required results even after using the given formulas. Are you providing having any blank rows in the input tool.

Yes, the text input data matches your screen cap with date as Int 64 and Status as VString. Can you provide sample data?

Find attached the sample workflow. Also a screen cap of the input and output.
