Power BI DirectQuery Date and Time conversion
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hi, rrodillas012
Regarding modifying the time zone, here is my example:
1.Currently, the most effective method is to make adjustments through calculated columns.
LocalCreatedOn = IF(ISBLANK('ScanData'[ScanDate]),BLANK(),'ScanData'[ScanDate]+ TIME(13, 0, 0))2.Additionally, you can use the format() function:
Measure = FORMAT(MAX('ScanData'[ScanDate]),BLANK(), "en-NZ")However, please note that using the format() function will also alter the original data.
Below is a screenshot of the relevant documentation:

3.Given that you are in DirectQuery mode, you can also make modifications using SQL statements.
SELECT [ScanData], DATEADD(hour, 13, [ScanData]) AS LocalCreatedOn FROM ScanData4.Furthermore, in Power Query:
[ScanDate]+ #duration(0, 13, 0, 0)5.Of course, if you are working solely in Desktop, you can make adjustments directly in the settings.
6.You should be aware that, at present, it is not possible to modify the time zone through settings in the service. Here is a link to similar issues:
