Set local time zone Power BI Service

[AndrewDang]

Hello all;

I have an issue with setting the right local time for my Power BI Service. I have the same measure to pull the current time. My Power BI desktop file pulls up 1/16/2017 4:36:02 PM which is the corrent local time. However, my Power BI Service file pulls: 1/17/2017 12:36:02 AM, which is 8 hours ahead of the time. I am wondering where do I go about setting this local time on the Power BI Service side?

Thanks;

Andrew

@AndrewDang,

Try this for ideas: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/UTC-to-AEST/m-p/188878#M83075

I agree though, for something so simple as being able to specify a 'local' timezone (such as in your user profile) I'm surprised this is such a difficult task...
