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,
