Setting a default Date value for a column in Direct Query...?

[rgouette]

Q:  How would you set a default date value in a column, when it’s based on a DirectQuery?

I’m aware that I can’t use Transformations in D/Q….

e.g. A D/Q table has NO value at all for a date…but I want to set a default date…

Make sense?

i.e. I'd like to default the empty values with a particular date...

Thoughts?

Thanks much,

Rich

I ended up asking the data source provider to adjust the query  to send a default date for empty date value.

thank you

@rgouette I would recommend you to add a view at the source and then set the default value whatever you want instead of doing it in Power BI.
