I'm using the built in function feature to pass the user input date value to a field in a different table. If one of the date fields in the original table is left blank, the echoing field value is setting to the base date, 12/30/1899.

Have you tried putting an IF function around the function so you can control the default value if the source field is blank?
Good idea, I was going to clear it with Jquery, but this sounds like a cleaner solution.
Yep, that worked. Thanks.
=IF(INDEX(Table1.value3,ROW())=NULL,NULL,INDEX(Table1.value3,ROW()))
Actually I just thought this was working.
Throwing an error: Calculation contains an invalid variable. I'm pretty sure my varible names are correct,
Is NULL a legal keyword in open formula?
I don't think so. Try "" instead of NULL
Ok, tried:
=IF(INDEX(Table1.value3,ROW())="","",INDEX(Table1.value3,ROW()))
and I don't get an error, but it returns a value of 12/30/1899 again.
Okay, so it seems like the only way to blank out entirely the field is JavaScript.
I know this is an old post, but this is still an issue. There is no way to set a date field to blank using the built in Formula that I can determine; JS is the only option. There should be another way.
