Changing time From UTC to Local Time
Hello all,
I tried multiple functions to change the time from UTC to my local time, but its not working
as you can see above in colomnm [EVENT_TIME_UTC], I have the time in UTC and my local time is UTC+3 (Saudi Arabia)
The functions I tried have worked, but it doesnt give me changed time, it only adds +3 in the end.
I need a funtion that changes the time itself.
Thank you.

Download this sample PBIX file with the following data and measure
Create a Calculated Column using this
EVENT_TIME_LOCAL = 'Table'[EVENT_TIME_UTC] + TIME(3,0,0)Giving this result

Hello Anonymous
Are you trying to do the datetime transformation using Power Query or DAX?
Have you tried using the DateTime.AddZone and DateTimeZone.SwitchZone functions in Power Query?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/datetime-addzone
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/datetimezone-switchzone
https://www.poweredsolutions.co/2019/10/21/handling-different-time-zones-in-power-bi-power-query/
Example in Power Query:
DateTimeZone.ToLocal(DateTime.AddZone([date_created_UTC],3))Anonymous You can do it in the powerquery window, open your data in the powerquery window and then add a custom column
use the below code in the custom colum
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each DateTime.AddZone([Time in UTC],2,30))
then change the data type of the new column to Date/Time like below
you are done. let me know if you face any trouble
