Power BI Time filter from UTC to local time

Hi , this question has been asked several times in power bi community but I could not find a concrete and esaier way to solve it.

So, asking one more time,incase someone has a better solution.

 

I need to display  the dashboard data of the last 1hr time. BUt when I insert the time filter, it displays the UTC time . I need to display in my local time. Is it possible? Could help?

Hi @Learner_SG ,

 

The slicer and filter are always based on the time in UTC. If you set up a filter in a report and send it to a colleague in a different time zone, you both see the same data. Unless you or your colleague are in the same UTC time zone, you both must account for the time offset you’ll experience. Use the Query Editor to convert data captured in a local time zone to UTC.

Use a relative time slicer or filter in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

@Learner_SG , Usually Now() in dax should give local time

 

and DateTime.LocalNow() in power query should give local time

Hi @amitchandak , but when I bring it into the power bi filter to get the relative time, it automatically goes to the UTC time.
