Hi,
Looking to convert EST time zone to GMT-5 (Jamaica time zone).
During winter GMT = EST
During Summer GMT = CST
Please help. Thank you

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：

Date =
var _date='Table'[closed] + 'Table'[Time]
return
_date + TIME(4,0,0)2. Result:
