Hi,
We currently get supplied date/times in UTC format from a system and have to convert these to BST in the database so times display in required U.K. format.
I believe power bi service still displays times in UTC format.
Is there a simple one setting way for power bi service to disaplay all UTC times in BST/U.K, time without having to convert each and every time to BST either at database level or in power bi itself with separate measure
Thanks
Hi, @po
You can try to change the date format by setting the region in Power BI Desktop-File-Options and settings-Options-Regional Settings.
You can also refer to the following links, which I hope will help you.
