@AllanBerces 

You can adjust manually by

PreviousDay =

VAR KLToday = TODAY() + 8/24 -- Manually adjust to KL time

VAR KLYesterday = KLToday - 1

RETURN

    IF('DAILY PROGRESS'[Progress Date] = KLYesterday, "Today", 'DAILY PROGRESS'[Progress Date

])

 

Or in power query,

Go to Transform Data

Add a column with DateTimeZone.FixedUtcNow()

Use DateTimeZone.SwitchZone([YourUtcDate], 😎 to convert to KL time

Extract the date part if needed

 

Please mrk this anwer as complete

Note that the Power BI service runs on UTC.  You should base all your calculations on UTC as well. So instead of using TODAY() use UTCTODAY()  etc.

Hi @lbendlin thank you for the reply will try on this.
