Discrepancy between PowerBI Desktop Figure & same figure when published

I have a discrepancy with a figure (Breaches in 20/21) being displayed when I publish my report.

 

Here is how the figure is filtered:

Figure in PowerBI Desktop after refresh:

Figure when Published & viewed through browser:

And here is the dataset - I have a strong feeling its related to the four records which have a date identified as 1st April. There are 26 records which meet the criteria of 01/04/2020 -> 31/03/2021

 

As a temp fix I've amended the dates from 31/03/2020 -> 31/03/2021 - this displays the correct 26 figure.

 

Data is below....

Any help much appreciated - I'm stumped!

Hi @stokidez,

 

Glad you found the cause of the issue, you can try this method to show time at local timezones in the Power BI report.

Hi @v-xulin-mstf afraid I've still not found a solution to the issue. See below, note how the dates highlighted change when published to the BI service:

 

In PowerBI Desktop:

In PowerBI Service:

I can see having scoured the forums that several people have had a similar issue but cannot see a solution that can be applied. If anyone can shed any further light I'd be really interested.

 

Thanks again,

I've read the blog and watched the video. I do not need to change time zone on a per user basis. I just need to change time zone when its published for all users by the same degree. It mentions a change to the DAX code to implement but doesn't specify. How would I achieve this please?

 

Hi @stokidez,

 

Is your issue that the custom data is not implemented properly in the service?

@stokidez , 1. Create browser cache, republish and check

2. Is there any time zone setting done at power bi service  - refer: https://4pbi.com/resolving-timezone-issue-on-power-bi-service/

Thanks @amitchandak - it's not a caching issue as I've deleted cache/temp files, restarted etc.

 

The date field in question is a custom field where I'm forcing it to be local time. How would I amend this calculation to stop it being changed through the PowerBI service?

 

Thanks,
