Is there a way to replace null values with other text in a Time Column?
When I use the column for a Table, it shows all nulls as Blank and I would like other text.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @bdehning
The data type of a column has to be the same. The value in the middle of the time column cannot be converted to a text value.
Column = IF([Time]=BLANK(),TIME(0,0,0),[Time])
Does this solve your problem?

Even if you can do that, you should not because in a single column the same data type should be maintained.
@bdehning , In power query you can do replace null ( all small null) with a value. But make sure you choose timeline 00:00:00 or 0 else data type conversion might fail

In Dax new column
coalesce([Time], time(0,0,0) )
