    Hi natyp  The problem might be because Power BI map visuals can't automatically apply time zone data without a timestamp. You can manually add a time zone column based on country or city and display it on the map. Alternatively, use custom layers with tools like ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. Creating custom measures for time zone offsets can also help adjust data.

Hi natyp,

Thank you for the update. It is indeed commendable to note that you have created a global time zone table and successfully linked it with your main dataset, utilizing the timezone column as a legend on the map. This approach is both effective and scalable.
