Format Now() in Direct Query

[srlabhe123]

Hi All,

I have below formula to display the heading of report 

Header = concatenate("FD Campus Labor Productivity Overview ",format(now(),"mm/dd/yy hh:mm AM/PM")) 

Now when I move this report to server it changes the time in server's local time.

Need to change the formula in such way that it always show time in EST format.

Please note the report is designe dwith Direct Query method.

Thanks

Swapnil

@srlabhe123,

You timezone in the server is Eastern Time, right? If so, when you use NOW() function, Power BI Desktop will  fetch server’s date/time, in your scenario, you can use DAX to solve this issue, for more details, please take a look at this blog.
