Incorrect Date/Time between Salesforce Data and Power BI Query

[nckpedersen]

I'm looking at opportunities created in the last week. When I query the Opportunity[CreatedDate] field in Salesforce, I'm receiving a time 6 or 7 hours after the "official" time logged in Salesforce (correlated to daylight savings). I'm in California (GMT -8)

I've checked location settings in both applications and it doesn't seem to be a locale issue. Querying the same data with another tool (XL-Connector) gives the correct time. It seems to be directly related to the Salesforce connector.

Power BI:

Hi @nckpedersen ,

I had the same issue with Salesforce before. It appeared that what Salesfoce showed on the web was based on the user's Salesforce timezone settings but what it fed into Power BI was based on the server's timezone. I had  to figure out which timezone the server was on then converted it to my locale in Power Query.
