Configuration Set Up: Display of time values in PBI is in UTC not in local timezone

[CUhLEin]

Hi all,

I have several powerBI reports each consists of several views directly queried from snowflake. Setting in snowflake is UTC for all views, therefore the time columns in all reports are also in UTC format. However, I would want the user to be able to view the dates in local time. I would like not to use query editor or DAX to add new columns(that will be the last resolve) but try to change the configuration through powerBI service admin setting first. Is there anyway that we can change the display of powerBI time values to local time through admin setting?

Thank you!
