Calculated column for dynamic time zone

[evolve_Tricia]

Hi,
I need to create a calculated column for dynamic time zone conversion when a specific time zone is created. 

There is a table with time zone and time difference from UTC. 

I have a table of orders as below, with order_id, original dates of orders. 
time_diff is a measure:

time_diff = IF(
    ISFILTERED('Time Zones'[Time Zone]),
     TIME(DISTINCT('Time Zones'[Time Diff from UTC]), 0, 0)
)

date_converted is a calculated column

date_converted = FORMAT('orders'[date_original]+[time_diff], "General Date")

This is the expected results

order_id	date_original	time_diff	date_converted
1	2020/10/11 2:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/11 10:00 AM
2	2020/10/11 8:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/11 4:00 PM
3	2020/10/11 2:00 PM	08:00:00	2020/10/11 10:00 PM
4	2020/10/11 8:00 PM	08:00:00	2020/10/12 4:00 AM
5	2020/10/12 2:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/12 10:00 AM
6	2020/10/12 8:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/12 4:00 PM
7	2020/10/12 2:00 PM	08:00:00	2020/10/12 10:00 PM
8	2020/10/12 8:00 PM	08:00:00	2020/10/13 4:00 AM
9	2020/10/13 2:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/13 10:00 AM
10	2020/10/13 8:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/13 4:00 PM
11	2020/10/13 2:00 PM	08:00:00	2020/10/13 10:00 PM
12	2020/10/11 2:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/11 10:00 AM
13	2020/10/11 8:00 AM	08:00:00	2020/10/11 4:00 PM

However, the date converted didn't change at all! What could be the problem?

Hi @evolve_Tricia ,

If you want dynamic, you need to change the calculate column to measure.

Please refer this measure.

date_converted = FORMAT(MAX(orders[date_original])+[time_diff], "General Date")

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

Calculated Column <> Dynamic

A calculated column is a static value.  You will want to use a measure instead, or rethink your logic.
