Hi,

Looking to convert EST time zone to GMT-5 (Jamaica time zone).

Hi  @thx ,

 

GMT is 4 hours behind EST, and you can switch to GMT time zone with TIME (4,0,0).

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Date =
var _date='Table'[closed] + 'Table'[Time]
return
_date + TIME(4,0,0)

2. Result:
