[Daven]

Hi,

Is there a way to change UTC to local as a measure?

Thanks,

Hi @Daven ,

You can create a measure like this:

Local Time =
CONVERT (
    FORMAT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[UTC] ), "MM/dd/YYYY" ) & " "
        & REPLACE (
            FORMAT ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[UTC] ), "HH:MM:SS" ),
            1,
            2,
            HOUR ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[UTC] ) ) - 8
        ),
    DATETIME
)

The number "-8" depends on your local timezone.

Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

Hi Vingjie,

Thanks for your response. I am getting an error and believe its because my dataset has UTC in datetime year to fraction (3).  How do I convert it to Datetime? I am using directquery so unable to do any transformation. Has to be as a measure. 

i.e UAT format: 2021-01-02T00:03:05.1330000

Thank you so much for your help

Yes. You can work out your time zone and make an an adjustment for the time using the TIME() function. But maybe it is better to convert it prior to load using Power Query.
