Power BI converts my datetime column from UTC to my local timezone

Hi, 

I get my data from CosmosDB where datetime is stored in UTC. The datetime column is imported into PowerBi in the format 2018-06-25T15:00:54Z but when I change the data type to date time so as to perform calculations, it gets changed into my local time zone which is EST. The date above changes to 6/25/2018 11:00:54 AM. Is there a way I can change the data type while still maintaning the UTC time. 

 

Thanks for the help.
