Data Update Fail Due to Date

Hello. I am having an issue when I attemp to do a data refresh from app.powerbi.com. It refreshes fine from the desktop, but I am getting the following error in the app:

 

Data source error:Not a legal OleAut date.. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface. Table: hbdg customer_order_line_item.

 

I found and fixed all date problems where the year obviously wrong (0217 instead of 2017, etc.), but am still getting the error on this table. I have many entries where the date shows NULL and many where the date shows 0000-00-00 and my question is does anyone know if the zeros can cause the refresh to fail? Thanks!

    I have made a test but couldn't reproduce your issue. The sample data you given can be refreshed in power bi service on my side.

    Please check if there's a date before 1/1/1900 in your table.

      I have combed through and fixed any dates before 1900. Here is a sample of the column and what I am seeing with the all zero dates.
