Exporting/Importing data in Excel

Hello Community,

I want to copy rows from excel to the list page, but I cannot

If I have a boolean value as YES/NO in excel grids then I can easily copy/paste in list page.

When I export the data from the list page to excel, the boolean fields come as TRUE/FALSE

Good thing is that I import the data with boolean values from excel to the list page through code for both TRUE/FALSE and YES/NO, and it is working fine.

Hence I cannot validate the boolean value as TRUE/FALSE when I copy it from excel, I can only do it for YES/NO.

There are thousands of rows and I cannot make every value as YES/NO if it is exporting in TRUE/FALSE.

Is it possible for me to export the boolean values in excel as YES/NO instead of TRUE/FALSE?? Or what is the solution for my problem..

Regards.

    Hi,

    As of now as you copied all the rows and paste into excel, it choose the default values as per standard, you can not change that, so you need to put the same validation when you are trying to import the values from excel in BC.

    Thanks.
