    Hi STS_Joshua 

    Please check if below formula could help.

    today =
SUMX (
    FILTER ( 'Open', 'Open'[DocDate] = LASTDATE ( 'Open'[DocDate] ) ),
    'Open'[Quantity] * 'Open'[Price] * 'Open'[DocRate]
)

    Regards,

I'm going to try replacing TODAY() with NOW()-(6/24) which should hopefully subtract 6 hours from UTC and make the times match at least online. On desktop the report will think it's 6 hours prior but I don't think I'll have many reasons to run this report at 5am... 

 

I do hope doing it this way won't just attempt to subtract 6 hours from UTC at midnight in this sort of fashion:

 

NOW(): 5/24/2019 00:00 = NOW()-(6/24): 5/24/2019 00:00

NOW(): 5/24/2019 01:00 = NOW()-(6/24): 5/24/2019 00:00

NOW(): 5/24/2019 02:00 = NOW()-(6/24): 5/24/2019 00:00

...

NOW(): 5/24/2019 07:00 = NOW()-(6/24): 5/24/2019 01:00
