Hi @Supermat ,

 

I would suggest after you modify this column to TEXT datatype, add a transformation of replacing 0 with NULL and then tranforming it to Date type. You can easily do this in Power Query editor in Power BI.

 

This is you date column which is text type:

Then add a transformation step to replace 0 with Null (as 0 can't be taken as a date)

Now modify the column data-type to Date type:

You will get the desired result.

 

Thanks,

Pragati
