Hi Harish85 ,
Thanks Uzi2019 for the quick reply and solution. I have some other ideas to add:
Add a Custom Column, if your original datetime is in local time, you need to convert it to UTC first. Use the following formula in the custom column:
DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(DateTimeZone.From([CHANGED_AT_CRM]), 0)This converts the datetime to UTC by setting the timezone offset to 0.
To convert the UTC datetime to CST, add another custom column with the following formula:
DateTimeZone.SwitchZone([UTC], -6)This adjusts the timezone to CST, which is UTC-6 hours.
If you want to remove the timezone information and keep only the datetime, you can use:
DateTimeZone.RemoveZone([Custom])Best Regards,

Hi Harish85
You can use DateTime.AddZone function to achieve your requirement. This function adds the timezonehours as an offset to the input datetime value and returns a new datetimezone value.
DateTime.AddZone([CreatedOn],3)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt253514.aspx
Create a new column and add 'Zone' to your Date Time column e.g. DateTimeZone = DateTime.AddZone([Created],0)
2. Create a new column and add 'Local' to your new 'DateTimeZone' column e.g LocalDateTime = DateTimeZone.ToLocal([DateTimeZone])
3. Create a new column to remove the 'Zone' from your new 'LocalDateTime' column e.g. CleanLocalDateTime = DateTimeZone.RemoveZone([LocalDateTime])
Or
time with zone = UTCNOW() - time(6,0,0)
