Support for visualization of UTC timestamps

[sam_vanhoutte]

We are keeping all of our time values in our data sources as UTC (as we consider this a best practice for our international customers). However, when showing those dates in PowerBI reports, we’d love to get the option to visualize that date as a local timestamp, instead of the UTC timestamp. I know this is not something that everyone needs as a default, but having the option to mark a field with datatype ‘utctimestamp’, for example would be a good solution.

timezone functionality in power query and DAX is limited and does not support users from multiple time zones. The proposed solution, indicating the data's timezone then converting it to the users timezone is the right solution!

I just ran into this issue for the first time, but I'm surprised that this is not standard functionality. There should be a way to show a utc date in the users' local time zone.

Any update on this idea? This is a major requirement, help us to show UTC in our client timezones!

This is a critical feature. We need this!

This is a MUST HAVE

[a1310011]

We are a global company and being able to show datetimes in the local users timezone is a must. I am amazed that this simple feature is not possible without major workarounds! Please implement!

[Gerald_Brose]

PLEASE implement, this should have been supported from the beginning!

This issue should have been implemented from the beginning. This shows us how inferior Power BI is.

We are working with D365 Project Operations which needs additional reporting.

Due to this issue we are not able to build consistent reports for our customers.

This should be solved very urgently!
