convert GMT time zone to user local time in Service

Hi Everyone,

I have two columns name Start Time(GMT) and End Time(GMT), now there can be n no of user who is use to use this table and want to see Start Time(GMT) and End Time(GMT) according to their time zone format instead of GMT time zone

i created two columns below:

Start Time (User Local) ='Last Refresh Date DWS'[Start Time] - (UTCNOW() - NOW())

End Time (User Local) ='Last Refresh Date DWS'[End Time] - (UTCNOW() - NOW())

 

the above columns works well for me in Desktop but when i publish the dataset to service workspace i am not getting the correct result.

I am getting the same value in Start Time (User Local) and End Time (User Local) as start time(GMT) and End time(GMT) in service.

can anyone help

Hi @kapildua16 ,Power BI service operates in the UTC time zone, and evaluates all locale based time functions in that time zone. Power BI Desktop evaluates them according to the locale of the user.
