Hmm - something seems to have happened with this.

I have noticed that there is a local times link within the Settings of the Dataset when I upload something now.

 

 

My measures are still incorrect but I wonder what this means.

I have the same issue. 

 

Greg_Deckler, would you please help us with this?

 

I have an issue with setting the right local time for our Power BI Service. I have the same measure to pull the current time. The Power BI desktop file pulls up 1/16/2017 4:36:02 PM which is the correct local time. However, the Power BI Service file pulls: 1/17/2017 12:36:02 AM, which is 8 hours ahead of the time. I am wondering where do I go about setting this local time on the Power BI Service side?

 

This issue results into not being able to pull up the overtime and data from yesterday starting from 4:00PM every day. It is pulling data for today (which is incomplete data)

 

Thanks

Andrew

    Did this ever get resolved, as I have the same issue and haven't been able to 'google' a fix for this.
