After alot of fault finding, it turns out that because I was converting in Power query every datetime to the local call center country it completely threw off the calculation when refreshed. So instead I used a DAX formula (TIME()) instead to convert the UTC times into the local timezones for the calculation... and now it works!!

@Alpesh Ahhh yes, that will definitely influence the outputs. Well done on finding the cause! This post is a great post to showcase the importance of applying a systematic process for data preparation (i.e. preparation / transformation / manipulation).
Again, great work in finding the cause! This highlights something very important which is often overlooked: when using Power Query to manipulate / transform data, we will not be able to easily see the log of these changes directly in Canvas view.
Great stuff @Alpesh!

Hi @Alpesh
The DAX measure looks fine and is quite logical. I don't believe that's the issue. From my experience, there are several reasons why this could be occuring:
1. Time Zone differences between your computer and the browser.
2. Filters applied / not applied in Power BI Service vs Desktop.
3. Row level security (if applicable) depending on how it's set up.
There are potentially other reasons but hopefully one of the above will help resolve.
Let me know how you go.
Theo 🙂
