Importing blank date

Posted on by 5

Hi all! 

I'm looking for a way to import a blank date that overwrites the current placed date in AX. 

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Kind regards

    If the date format should be YYYY-MM-DD you should of course provide it in that format.

    So, that would be 1900-01-01.

    Please try with that.

    And yes, if you have some validation rules regarding the date import, the rules have to be set up to allow 1900-01-01 to be imported.

    Hi Nikolaos,

    Thank you for the fast response.

    The importation to AX is done by using "Dropzone", with format CSV (Excel).

    When importing the suggested format 1900-01-01 (00:00:00), I get the error response that the date is an invalid format, YYYY-MM-DD is the allowed format and the import is therefore cancelled.

    We have put up a grid that dates in the importation cannot exceed 7 days back in time and 90 days ahead, to secure wrongful dates is not imported. But by excluding the date 1900-01-01 in this perimeter, this should in theory blank out the dates we want to remove?

    Kind regards

    Import how?

    "Blank date" is actually 1.1.1900 00:00:00 UTC so try to import that value.
