Datetime field in Report View not the same value as in Data View
Only explanation that I can think of is that the date/time value is being stored in its "raw" state but when rendering that value within a report, the report is factoring in daylight savings time somehow?
Spot on Greg_Deckler !
Due to local time switches (typically Daylight Saving Time), some date/time combinations do not exist.
Such date/time combinations are allowed in Power Query and the Data Model, but in Report View, such combinations are adjusted, both in Power BI Desktop and in Power BI.
This video clearly illustrates the issue.Expecting a "Wad" * when raising an issue, I raised an idea for improvement, expecting lots of votes :robotlol:

Greg_Deckler Good suggestion. That would explain why the difference is exactly a multiple of an hour (1 hour in Power BI Desktop, 2 hours in Excel / Power Query). Otherwise the issue only happens in very rare situations (these are the only 2 I spotted so far).
Anyhow, I'll take your suggestion for further testing and come back once I have more information or questions.

Hi Marcel,
I'm having a similar problem with some datetime values. I've read and watched the video you posted. But I still have an issue with the datetime values I'm getting from an Excel file. I'm writing you because I see you have experience with datetime format and some changes can have this kind of data. So I kindly give you the post link of this datetime problem I'm having, please check it when you have a chance, I appreciate your suggestions.
Kind regards,
Ernesto
