My date format has *3/14/2001 1:30:55 PM (G), whats that G refrence to ? is that the time Zone, if yes how did power bi know that and how to change it to a diffrent time zone.
Solved! Go to Solution.
G = General date/time pattern
Power Bi uses the date/time and time zone on your device, usually it is auto setting, you can change the time zone in your PC setting.
