Reflex Alert Time issue
Very much not recommended. Everything in the Power BI service and in Fabric runs on UTC. You may have an international team. EST is not currently active (it's EDT now). See if you can live with the UTC setup.
Hi yannaingoo,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.
Also Thanks to lbendlin for Prompt and Helpful response.
Power BI Service operates in UTC by default and does not support changing the timezone globally to EST. While it's possible to adjust timestamps using Power Query or DAX (e.g., subtracting 5 hours), this is a workaround and doesn't handle Daylight Saving Time automatically. Therefore, relying on manual timezone conversion is not generally recommended for critical time-based logic. For more accurate results, consider handling timezone conversion at the data source level or using a custom timezone mapping table.
