OLE DB or ODBC error: Type mismatch - With no transformations done to Datatype

Hi everyone,
 
 
I am receiving this error when trying to add a couple of new columns to my dataset: OLE DB or ODBC error: Type mismatch. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH)).
 
I have combed through the forums here and in a variety of other places to try and find a solution but they all appear to say that it is due to a data type transformation which I am not doing, just filtering: 
The column that I believe is the root cause is deleted_at which I filter down to be null.
 
In the source (MariaDB) the datatype is timestamp:
 
Does anyone know if this is an issue with the source system or if I am doing something wrong? 
 
Thank you in advance!

    Yes, this problem was solved after a week and a half of back and forth with support. There were 2 cell values that were causing this issue. Instead of 2020 the cell had 2020 (10). Not sure why the quary wasn't returned with errors instead of cancelling the entire refresh but they are looking into it some more.
