Hi Forums,

But when I publising report on  Power BI Service then after sometime the StartDate automatically changed to one day earlier.

For Example-

Please give me solution for this query.

 

Thanks & Regards

Pooja

Hi  @PoojaPrajapati

 

Because Power BI is using GMT (or UTC, not sure) you get the difference in time zones for TODAY or NOW functions.

You can solve it with DAX in your data model or with M in Power Query.

Reza Rad did a good job explaining it here:

Thank you all for the inputs.

 

But somehow my reports didn't worked with Switchzone or localzone function. Using these functions i was getting correct output on desktop but on service it was showing dates one day prior. I dont understand why.

 

But i resolved the issue by using duration funtion i.e. duration(0,0,0,19800)  where 19800 is the conversion 5.50 hours to sec. & adding that to datetime field.
