UPDATE: Sorry so I noticed the conversion is fine in Power BI but I need this to be in PST and include daylight savings time... I am in EST so when I use local time its EST but I need the EST to be converting to PST and include daylight saving
if I use Excel to import data the time is fine in UTC but Power BI keeps converting my UTC Time in SQL to Military which is showing the incorrect time. Any idea how to fix this pleasE?

Hi @powerbihelp87 ,
First of all, many thanks to @lbendlin for your very quick and effective replies.
Based on my testing, please try the following methods again:
1.Create the sample table.
2.Add a custom column.
3.Enter the following formula.
Text.From(Date.Month([Start time]))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Day([Start time]))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Year([Start time])) & " " &Text.From(Time.Hour([Start time])) & ":" & Text.PadStart(Text.From(Time.Minute([Start time])),2,"0")
4.The result is shown below.

That's not military time, that's the standard time format in Europe.
Change your column types to "DateTimeZone"
