Wrong Data in Time Zone calculation
CreatedDate Reported
Hi,
I have subtracted the two cloumn value which is Timezone formatted.Value as given below
Scenario 1
Custom=[#"Created (UTC)"]-[#"Date Reported (UTC)"]
Created (UTC)=10/30/2018 12:37:36 PM +00:00
Date Reported (UTC)=10/30/2018 12:35:00 PM -07:00
As a result I got, Custom=-06:57:24.
Scenario 2
Custom1=[Created]-[Date Reported]
[Created]=10/30/2018 12:37:36 PM +00:00
[Date Reported]=10/30/2018 7:35:00 PM +00:00
Aa result a I got, Custom1= -06:57:24
In Scenario 1 there should be only 2 minute difference in time gap then why getting such result. Also in Scenario 2 there is 5:02:36 hrs time difference but get the same result. Can any one help me to figure out this accurate calculation? What is the solution to get actual time data?
Hi Pallab_Kundu,
For the first issue, based on my test, I suggest you create a calculated column in data view instead in query editor:
For the second issue, I think the right answer shoud be 06:57:24? I think if the [Date Reported]=10/30/2018 7:35:00 AM +00:00, it could be 5:02:36, right?
