Blank date display differences between Power Bi desktop and web (shows 12-30-1899)

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble viewing blank dates.


I created a report in power bi desktop and blank dates appear "blank". But when I publish the report on the web, the same dates appear with the date 12/30/1899.

 

You can see the differences in the images below:

 

Desktop:

Web:

The field in the table is classified as "date".

What am I doing wrong?

How do I guarantee that on the web the date keeps appearing "blank"?

 

Best regards.

Hi @bmms ,

 

Depending on your timezone the datetime value balnk corresponds to 1899-12-31 or 1899-12-30.

You can try to replace the blank with "null" in Power Query and publish it to the web again to see if the problem still remains.

Hello,

 

by default in the power query, the column is already filled with null!
