Problem with Date: "" is not a valid date

Luk88kk

Good afternoon,
Could someone please help me solve this problem:
Why do I get this conversion errors: Date: "" is not a valid date.

I have a task that needs to delete the date if it is # in a row
I achieved this using the multi-field formula:

IF [Head of State] = "#" THEN "" ELSE [_CurrentField_] ENDIF

However, it gives me this error. Could someone please help me to get it right.

Hi @Luk88kk 

 

Change formula like below. Replace quotes with Null() it will give you the same output.

 

IF [Head of State] = "#" THEN Null() ELSE [_CurrentField_] ENDIF

 

Hope this helps : )
