How to Remove Error in Date Field
- 8 years ago
If you are wanting to change all null values to a specific date (like 11/11/2011), then a simple replace values would work where you are replacing all null values with your ficticious date. You can also add a custom column with the following statement:
if [Your Date Column] = null then "11/11/2011" else [Your Date Column]
If you are trying to convert everything to a date and are receiving an error message, you can also try the following statement in a custom column (if your date column is currently text because of bad data):
try Date.FromText([Your Date Column]) otherwise (however you want the errors handled)
am getting this error as well. power bi does not put null for blank cells if we format the column as date. is there a way to work around this?
It actually just let me right-click in the power query and select replace errors and I typed 'null' and it worked
