Converting Time Zone

Hi All,

 

I've created the blow last refresh time calculation. Is there a way I can convert the same to UTC -6 time zone?

 

As of now its showing me local time zone but i want to show the UTC -6 time zone on my report.

 

Kindly help if its possible.

Thnaks for the support it has given me the desired output.

 

But one question, I have scheduled the report to refresh 8 times a day in the power bi service. Will the time on the report change itself by using this new dax column?

@Anonymous , There you might have setup like this

Add hours

[DateTime] + #duration(0,6,0,0))

@amitchandak Both the links are not solving my issue. Also the column I've created using "time with zone = UTCNOW() - time(6,0,0)" is not what I intended. After every pafe refresh the time is changing on my report. WHat I want is only when the dataset is refreshed the time should change or if I can show the next dataset refresh time in my report.

 

Is there any possibility for this?

Himanshu
