Replace value in a field type date

Anonymous, Greg_Deckler
thanks both of you for supporting me.
Well, as I told in my previous post I decided to start from scratch.
This time I selected Do not detect data type in Data Type Detection.
I was able to change in the column "Data Documento" the string "00.00.0000" into "".
Then I trasformed in the proper data type.
Now empty fields are showed as blank
Here the query in case you have some further advices.
let Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents("D:\Lavori\01.20_-_ POWER BI DATASOURCE\Delivery Dashboard\ZCSDLV.CSV"),[Delimiter="|", Columns=76, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]), #"Change Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}, {"Column6", type text}, {"Column7", type text}, {"Column8", type text}, {"Column9", type text}, {"Column10", type text}, {"Column11", type text}, {"Column12", type text}, {"Column13", type text}, {"Column14", type text}, {"Column15", type text}, {"Column16", type text}, {"Column17", type text}, {"Column18", type text}, {"Column19", type text}, {"Column20", type text}, {"Column21", type text}, {"Column22", type text}, {"Column23", type text}, {"Column24", type text}, {"Column25", type text}, {"Column26", type text}, {"Column27", type text}, {"Column28", type text}, {"Column29", type text}, {"Column30", type text}, {"Column31", type text}, {"Column32", type text}, {"Column33", type text}, {"Column34", type text}, {"Column35", type text}, {"Column36", type text}, {"Column37", type text}, {"Column38", type text}, {"Column39", type text}, {"Column40", type text}, {"Column41", type text}, {"Column42", type text}, {"Column43", type text}, {"Column44", type text}, {"Column45", type text}, {"Column46", type text}, {"Column47", type text}, {"Column48", type text}, {"Column49", type text}, {"Column50", type text}, {"Column51", type text}, {"Column52", type text}, {"Column53", type text}, {"Column54", type text}, {"Column55", type text}, {"Column56", type text}, {"Column57", type text}, {"Column58", type text}, {"Column59", type text}, {"Column60", type text}, {"Column61", type text}, {"Column62", type text}, {"Column63", type text}, {"Column64", type text}, {"Column65", type text}, {"Column66", type text}, {"Column67", type text}, {"Column68", type text}, {"Column69", type text}, {"Column70", type text}, {"Column71", type text}, {"Column72", type text}, {"Column73", type text}, {"Column74", type text}, {"Column75", type text}, {"Column76", type text}}), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Change Type"), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Promoted Headers","00.00.0000","""""",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Data documento"}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Replaced Value", each true), #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Filtered Rows","00.00.0000","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Data consegna"}), #"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Replaced Value1", each true), #"Replaced Value2" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Filtered Rows1","""""","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Data documento"}), #"Filtered Rows2" = Table.SelectRows(#"Replaced Value2", each true), #"Replaced Value3" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Filtered Rows2","00.00.0000","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Data Mov.Merci Eff."}), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value3",{{"Data documento", type date}, {"Data consegna", type date}, {"Data Mov.Merci Eff.", type date}}), #"Filtered Rows3" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each true), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows3",{{"Peso totale", type number}, {"Peso netto", type number}, {"Volume", type number}, {"Val. netto", Currency.Type}}), #"Filtered Rows4" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type1", each true), #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows4",{{"Peso di Carico HU", type number}, {"PesoTotale HU", type number}, {"Lunghezza", type number}, {"Larghezza", type number}, {"Altezza", type number}}), #"Filtered Rows5" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type2", each true) in #"Filtered Rows5"Thanks again for your kind support

The link worked. I did not have any errors in the "Data documento" column. I looked for that specific ID, 80000555 and the Data documento was 00.00.0000. Now, it imported as Text. And, I could not convert it to a Date column in DAX. So, I went back into Query Editor and changed it to Date. It basically error'd out all of the rows and I got blanks for "Data documento". My apologies, but apparently my English language version of Power BI does not understand your dates.
Here is what I would try, try leaving it as text, replace 00.00.0000 with "" (null) and then convert it to a Date in the query. I'm thinking that should work.
