In Power BI Desktop don't have problem, but in Data Flow don't work
Power BI Desktop change hour to my local
But in Power BI Service o Data Flow don't change

Hi Anonymous ,
SwitchZone function not real changes stored date time, it only change displayed datetimezone of datetime values.
For power bi service, it will convert to UTC format. So these values you used SwitchZone function to modify display timezone format will change back to UTC format.Notice: if you direct calculate on these datetime values, they will keep changed datetime value and convert to UTC format.

Other example, I used a score card to inform last update
I created the formula in M= DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(DateTimeZone.LocalNow(),-3,0)
When I updated in Power BI Desktop it return the hour correct
But when update in Power BI Service don't consider timezoneImage below you can see in Power BI Service don't consider timezone of -03:00
