Powerbi.com Server Time
I have a report that works well on Power BI Desktop but on the Service shows wrong values.
This is because when using now() function on Desktop shows my country time correctly but on Service it shows 3 more hours.
As I'm not a Tenant Admin on my company I can't see if there is any Time/zone configuration on the Service.
Does anybody know if Power Bi takes the time/zone from a user or tenant configuration and where is it??

Hi Anonymous I have the same issue on all my reports.
Data is being stored in Singapore under NZ timezone
however as you can see it still thinks it is yesterday ! New Zealand is +12 hours.
Any fix for this you can recommend would be great.

elliotdixon If you take the current time in the NOW() function and subtract the time as a fraction of 1 day you can remove hours. So, 1 day = 24 hours. 1/24 * (number of hours you want subracted) will be the decimal that you subtract. This should give you the local time you want to display in your reports when using the NOW() function. Here are some quick examples, you'll notice the 22 hours ago correctly moves you back a day.
