Default Time in Power BI Desktop

Hi dear community,

 

the time on my computer is 10.55, whereas Power Bi Desktop has its time set at 10.55. 

 

The time values of my data is correct. It's just the time setting in the Power BI desktop that is wrong.

 

How can i change in order to have the Power Bi desktop synchronized with the current time?

 

Thanks for your help 🙂

    Hi Anonymous ,

    In Power BI Desktop, NOW function always return the current datetime according to your local UTC, it has no relationship with the computer time.

    If it got wrong value, you can try to use UTCNOW function, for example the local time is UTC+8, then here's the measure.

    Measure = UTCNOW()+TIME(8,0,0)

    Got the correct result.
