Hi,
In Power Query, Add a Custom Column and update [Column] to your actual Column name,if Value.Is([Column], type date)
or Value.Is([Column], type datetime)
then "INSTALL READY"
else if [Column] = null or [Column] = 0
then null

You can use the Table.ReplaceValue function, but you need to write custom M code in the Advanced Editor:
Source Data
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtQ31TcyMDJVitWJVjIAk2DC0Ejf2BAkYwLmmugbmoN4FggVSIpN4YbEAgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type any}}), #"Replace Dates" = Table.ReplaceValue( #"Changed Type", each [Date], "INSTALL READY", (x,y,z)=>if Value.Is(Date.From(y),type date) then z else y, {"Date"}) in #"Replace Dates"Results
