 Analysis for Office was designed to supports dates since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the range from 15-OCT-1582 to 31-DEC-9999 so any other range outside of those values will generate a dump (and even Excel cannot properly handle it as a date value).

On backend you need to clean dates outside of the range from 15-OCT-1582 to 31-DEC-9999 of the time based characteristic or measure.
