How to Convert a UTC Date Field (Date Only) to PST in Power BI (Handling DST)

Hi Power BI Community,

 

I have a `CALL_DATE` field in my data model that is in **UTC** and contains only **date values** (no time component).

 

Since this is UTC-based, I want to **convert it to Pacific Time (PST/PDT)** properly in Power BI, taking into account **Daylight Saving Time (DST)** — so that the converted date truly reflects the PST business day.

 

For example:
- If `CALL_DATE = 2025-06-24` in UTC, it might still be **June 23 in PST** depending on the time of day.
- But since it's a **date-only field**, I can't directly subtract hours like I would with a datetime column.

 

### Example of what I tried (DAX logic inside CALENDAR):
```dax

Date =
CALENDAR(
DATE(2025, 6, 20),
MAXX('LOS_REPORT_V', 'LOS_REPORT_V'[CALL_DATE])
)

Hi @manoj_0911 

 

Power BI does not automatically account for whether daylight saving time is in effect but  you can subtract hour from a date as it is whole number and time is decimal. 

INT ( MAXX ( 'LOS_REPORT_V', 'LOS_REPORT_V'[CALL_DATE] ) - DIVIDE ( 7, 24 ) )
