      PowerBI88 , if null is text then it can cause. or you have a date in two formats(Means data type in not date).

       

      First check data type and make sure both are date or datetime

        I replaced the errors with a date that I made up, but I keep getting the same problem when I perform a merge

    Hi PowerBI88 

    If your date is in two formats, merging may cause problems.

    I currently have no way to restore your problem. If possible, can you provide your pbix file so that we can better analyze the problem ?
