Microsoft Dynamics CRM dates incorrect in Powerbi
- 9 years ago
It could be a Time Zone/UTC issue. There are several related functions you could use in Power Query when you load the data to try to resolve the issue if that's the cause: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt296609.aspx
Thank you both v-yulgu-msft and deldersveld, for putting me in the right direction. I now understand that Microsoft Dynamics CRM stores all dates as UTC - even though it displays it in local time, so you were correct. I have now resolved the issue I used
DateTimeZone.ToLocal to convert to local time following the guide below.

Thank you for linking to this solution. I had all dates off by 1 hour - enough to put them into the wrong month and year.
