TimeZone

Is there not a way in which we can set the default timezone to our local zone?

 

All of our reports, data sources, servers and user devices are in the UK (for a UK audience), so quite frustrating that we do not seem to be able to set the timezone across the estate to the UK Locale [not to mention, as DD/MM/YYYY formats on the date] ... some people have taken to workaround by manually offsetting from UTC > BST ... but of course, when we switch from BST back to GMT, all of the reports go off by an hour again.

 

Tips would be appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Currently all the servers for Power BI are set in the UTC Timezone

 

You will have to either do this as per my blog post below: Power BI – Did you know ALL Power BI Services Servers are in UTC? Now how to handle it for Dates & Times - Reporting/Analytics Made easy with FourMoo and Power BI
