Time Relative filter

I am trying to use Time Relative ( in the last hour) filter but when I select last 4 hours it returns the Future time instead of last hour.

It is 2 pm now and the filter time should be between 10:00 am and 2 pm but it is showing  3pm and 7 pm ( which is in future)

Thanks a lot tayloramy. Is there any way I can convert the UTC in local time zone

Hi @ForgotID 

You can convert UTC to your local time zone in Power BI using Power Query.

Hi @ForgotID ,

The “Relative time” slicer/filter in the Power BI Service runs in UTC, not your local time. So when you choose “last 4 hours” at 2:00 PM local, the filter window is anchored to UTC, which can make your axis labels look like they’re in the “future” (e.g., 3–7 PM) if your data/visuals are showing local time. This is expected behavior per Microsoft’s docs (Relative time slicer/filter).
