Power Query solution:

Add this as new step, replace Source with your PreviousStepName and "Column1" with your column name you want to change.

 

= Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Column1", each Text.PadStart(_, 7, "0"), type text}})

 

 

DAX solution:

Create new calculated column, change Column1 to your column name.

 

CorrectDate = IF(LEN([Column1]) = 6, "0" & [Column1], [Column1])

Assuming you column data type is date, select the column and on top ribbon you will find different formattitng options and choose the appropriate one. For exmaple:
