I have a column that contains datetime in UTC.
On my report, I am getting the max of it. I want to convert this UTC date to local time zone in DAX.
Any pointers.?
As of my analysis your column is in data type: text, change it to data type: date and time.
Two questions:
1) This approach does not account for daylight savings time (in the US), does it?
2) If #1 above is true, then wouldn't it be easier to simply subtract (8/24) from the date/time column?
Hi Qiuyun,
Thanks for this post - could solve a problem I'd like to address.
I would like to show the "Last Refreshed DateTime" in my reports. I want this to provide the time in PST. The report is currently either refreshed via the Desktop (local to PST), or Online.
If I use NOW() in my report, I will get different times depending on whether where the refresh takes place. If via the desktop - NOW() is PST. If I use the schedule refresh, NOW() comes back in UTC time. M code using DateTime.LocalNow() has the expected same effect.
Is there M code to generate UTC time, then I can use your formula above to show the PST refresh time in the report?
Thanks!
Brian
I have the same situation here... How to guarantee that the refresh time is the same among power BI desktop, app.powerbi or published web? Should I use other formula than NOW()?
Hi @Virtual_Ames,
Please try to set the locale both in Power BI Desktop and Service. See: Supported languages and countries/regions for Power BI.
