Making incremental refresh with an date/hour/timezone type of data

Hi!

 

Recently i've been trying to create a incremental refresh for my dashboard, but the type of data is date/hour/timezone and apparently it should be only date/hour for this type to make this type of refresh work, but i want to know if there's a way that i can still use incremental refresh with an API that uses this type of data? (i just cant't not use the timezone because when i dont't use i have problems with data)

  • Hi Thiago_Melo ,

    Referring to the official documentation, it seems to me that incremental refreshes are not supporteddate/hour/timezone type of data.

    You could try to use DateTimeZone.SwitchZone function to switch your table date time column [DateKey] to local time via copy and paste the code below , assuming the " 12" is hours , and "10"  is minutes ,which is the changed Time between the local timezone and UTC timezone.

     

     

    DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(DateTime.AddZone([DateKey], 0),-12 ,10)

     

     

     

    And refer :
