    Hi STS_Joshua 

    Please check if below formula could help.

    today =

As I mentioned above, I changed all the TODAY() to NOW()-(6/24) and that is displays the time in the right time zone. The strange thing is that when I went to access the report sales for the day went to (Blank) after 1800MST (UTC-6) while the time still showed as correct for the time zone.
