HubSpot’s CSV import doesn’t support relative date formulas and requires absolute dates in specific formats. This makes bulk date adjustments like “extend all due dates by 7 days” impossible without manual calculation before import.
Here’s how to use sophisticated date formulas for bulk due date updates with automatic formatting.
Bulk update due dates with relative formulas using Coefficient
Coefficient enables sophisticated bulk date updates using spreadsheet formulas that HubSpot can’t handle natively. You can apply complex date logic, create conditional date adjustments, and easily test different scenarios before finalizing updates to HubSpot with automatic date formatting.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import tasks with current due dates.
Pull existing tasks from HubSpot including current due dates. Coefficient maintains proper date formatting throughout the process, ensuring compatibility with HubSpot’s requirements when you export updates.
Step 2. Apply relative date formulas.
Use spreadsheet functions to calculate new due dates based on relative criteria. Try =CURRENT_DUE_DATE + 7 to extend by a week, =WORKDAY(TODAY(), 5) to set due dates to the next business Friday, or =IF(PRIORITY=”High”, TODAY()+3, TODAY()+7) for conditional date adjustments based on task characteristics.
Step 3. Export calculated dates with validation.
Push formula-calculated dates back to HubSpot using Coefficient’s UPDATE action. The system handles date formatting automatically and you can schedule recurring date updates for maintaining rolling deadlines or implementing systematic date management policies.
Make date management effortless
Stop calculating dates manually for bulk updates. Coefficient handles the complex formulas and formatting automatically. Start using relative date formulas for smarter task management.
