How do I make my Power Query formula accept timezone with decimal points
Hello newpi
You can use the function DateTimeZone.SwitchZone to accomplish this. This accepts a number to switch the zone. In case you want to use another format afterwards, you could create a function where you manipulate the format, before passing it to the function DateTimeZone.SwitchZone. Here the code
let
Source = #table
(
{"TimeZoneUTC"},
{{DateTimeZone.FixedUtcNow()}}
),
Add= Table.AddColumn
(
Source,
"Your time",
each DateTimeZone.SwitchZone([TimeZoneUTC],5.5)
)
in
Add
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Jimmy801 I want to use a parameter here and my parameter name is "#Time Zone" .
I do not want to add column as there are dependant columns to my existing one, so want to edit my formula there itself. My current formula is :
The above formula is working fine when #Time Zone Parameter is whole number like 5 but not working when its a decimal like 5.5
Hello newpi
then change the formula to this
= if #"Daylight Savings" = true then DateTimeZone.SwitchZone([#"Activity Time (UTC)"],#"Time Zone" +1) else DateTimeZone.SwitchZone([#"Activity Time (UTC)"],#"Time Zone")
