Columns Not Appearing in Measures With Direct Query Mode

Hi All,

 

I am facing a strange situation. I am using a direct query mode.

 

I need to convert the time zone from UAT to AST. The difference between UAT to AST is -3 hours.

 

My UAT time column in the data is "CreatedDate".

When I try to write the measure the IntelliSense list is not showing the column name.

I am just wondering when we use the direct query mode PBI doesn't show column names?.

 

Below is the screenshot for you reference.

The formula i need is CreatedDate - TIME(3,0,0). This will give me the time in AST.

 

Please assist here.
