I've been trying this using a few different formulas and it wasn't working. In Pbi service, when the report was just published, it worked but after a while, it went back to UTC.
DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(DateTimeZone.LocalNow(),8,0)
This is the visual in powerbi service.
Trying to add 8hrs to UTC.
I also tried using DAX measure but for some reason, it was showing the time the visuals are refreshed and not the dataset refresh so it didn't work as I intended so I went back to doing it in Power Query
Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Thanks.
Instead of DateTimeZone.LocalNow(), use DateTimeZone.UtcNow()
as LocalNow will give you time of the region in which your power bi tenant/capacity resides.
I tried this and tested it by publishing it inside my own workspace, it worked. But when i published it inside the premium workspace, it didn't work. It was still UTC. Does it have smth to do with the premium workspace settings?
