I apologize for being relatively new to PowerBI. I am trying to learn as I go, quickly.
We are in the midwest of the United States. So UTC-5 currently, with DST.
I have created a rich report of Operations Data. And am importing 10 days of underlying data. I then copied the raw report page, and have made several sub-versions. Each page has a different page filter. So we have data for "overnight," for "yesterday," for "last week." And these all work.
But I am having a difficult time with filtering out data for "Today." Because Today() seems to be useless as a dynamic filter, once you upload to the PBI service. Specifcally, as we get into evening, our "Today" rolls over to tomorrow's date. This is frustrating to me.
I DO have a single column table that imports a "local time and date" value, which we use to tag the latest refresh on the report. But how can I use that to filter my page?
- Could I use this value as a page level filter. Something like: where "LocalTime"[LocalTime] = OrderTime ?
- Or could I create a helper column in my dataset, using the same kind of logic? Something like: ?
if DateTime.Date([DueTime])=DateTime.Date('LocalTime'[LocalTime]) then "YES" else "NO"
It does not like that formula, but I am hoping my syntax is the issue
- Is there another better answer that I am not finding
PS - Why oh why does MS not create a "Local Time Zone" setting for cloud reports?
