    Hi Anonymous 

     

    The following limitations and considerations currently apply to the relative date range slicer and filter.

    • Data models in Power BI don't include time zone info. The models can store times, but there's no indication of the time zone they're in.

    • 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'll both see the same data. Unless you are in the UTC time zone, you and your colleague must account for the time offset you’ll experience.

    • You can convert data captured in a local time zone to UTC using the Query Editor.
