Date Field Time Zone Fix
I have a date/time field that is pulling from an API that is not in my time zone. Is there a way I can convert the timezone to show CST?
Hi ThePowerBIQueen ,
To see you local timezone, use power query function:
DateTimeZone.LocalNow()
Or DAX function:
LocalTime = now()
To change timezone, use power query function:
= DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(dateTimeZone, timezoneHours , timezoneMinutes )
In addtion, please refer to:

Check out the DateTimeZone.SwitchZone function in Power Query. You can use that to add/subtract hours from your source time zone to your current time zone.
Hello,
Sorry for open an old post but I have the following problem: I'm importing tables through SQL SERVER and the date/time fields are in a different time zone. I have the code to convert via SQL (to_char(cast ...) but sometimes I import the whole table instead of writing a query.
How to convert date/time fields to my time zone without add a new column?
Thank you!
