Hello v-piga-msft  Yes - the Analyze in Excel feature in Power BI service. I am in Mountain time zone and I believe when I use the analyze in excel option it is returning GMT time zone without the correction.

 

As shown in the original post the local time is returning as correct. When I use the analyze in Excel feature in the Power BI service it returns the time shown in Power BI report (as a check) +6 hours.

Hi jpt1228 ,

By my tests, I cannot reproduce your issue.

Please check the time in power bi service is the same as your system timezone which installed Analyze in Excel.

You could find the timezone in power bi service like below.

Normally, the timezone in power bi service should sync with the system timezone.

Best  Regards,

Cherry

    Hello v-piga-msft  the time zone is correct in Power BI desktop and service, but incorrect when I build a report using anayze in excel.

     

    When I refresh Power BI desktop and power bi service I get one time, when I refresh the analyze in excel file tied to the data model it returns a different time zone. It is different by 6 hours.
