Hi Anonymous I have the same issue on all my reports.

Data is being stored in Singapore under NZ timezone

Any fix for this you can recommend would be great.

Cheers

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.
