Can I display the date and time column according to users location?

I have a data which is a "SharePoint Online" as source and I need a display a date and time column in the table visual

 

Currently I am displaying data in the PST format for "US" if users location is in  US and BST if the users location is "UK" The problem is I am displaying US and UK timezone in a single date/time column i.e..,

 

LocationDate and Time
US06/31/2021 05:30 AM + 8:00
UK06/10/2021 07:30 AM + 1:00

 

But The requirement is the "Date and Time" column should be displayed according to the users current location whenever they login 

It should be in a single column with their own timezones and that should be dynamic It should get the users location and query the data accordingly

 

For Example:

 

UsernameLocationDate and Time
SarahUS06/31/2021 05:30 AM 
JustinUK05/10/2021 07:30 AM 

 

When Sarah logins and check for the report the result of the Date and Time should be like below:

UsernameLocationDate and Time
SarahUS06/31/2021 05:30 AM+8:00
JustinUK05/10/2021 07:30 AM + 8:00

 

When Justin logins and check the report the result of the Date and Time should be like below:

UsernameLocationDate and Time
SarahUS06/31/2021 05:30 AM+1:00
JustinUK05/10/2021 07:30 AM + 1:00

 

Can I display it as above . If yes,please do help me

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for the reply , I have already done this but User should not select the timezone, that should happen from the backend, power bi should get their location and display without selecting of any timezone can that be possible?

Hi @no_one_but_me ,

Please try to add a custom column for the date columns with the below formula, and the data type of new column will be Text:

 

=DateTimeZone.From([Datetime])

Hi @Anonymous 

This is giving me my timezone i.e., in IST but if I open in the PST timezone that is still showing me the IST time I want to show the Date and Time column in PST 

 

This is not changing dynamically
