Date Import not working

CommunityMember111277

Hi All,

Need some quick help

I want to import a date from 1 module to another module using Import action, however I'm error as "Invalid date"

Module 1 - 1 line item (date1) | date format> currentperiodstart()

Module 2 - 1 line item (date 2) | date format

Now, when I'm trying to import date from module 1 into module 2, I'm using column line item as shown below

however, there is an error

Can anyone confirm what I'm doing wrong

Thanks

Is this sorted @CommunityMember111277 ?

Try selecting the Custom Mapping boolean on the right.

@rob_marshall I tried that option including all mapping options (with separators, fixed positions patterns etc.), but nothing seems to work.

Crazy question, but is the source module in the same model as the target? If so, why not use a formula to get the start date?

Do you have a dimension in the source and target modules? Usually, to import something, you need to have a dimension. We cannot import a module with no dimension as source, so we need a list with dummy item in both source and target. Also can you share the screenshot of mappings tab?

@Dikshant The idea was to check whether it can work without any dimensions. I wanted to use it as reference for other modules. I know formula will work, however just wanted to check if it can work wit Import actions w/o any dimensions.

Thanks.

Once you get the data into the module with a dimension, you can then fetch it into a module using a lookup formula from that specific list item. But yes, we cannot import into modules with no dimensions, so this is the workaround.
