Good morning all,

Is there a way to change the time zone in a time column in power pivot for example from UTC to EST or any other time zone. 

Thank you,

RosaSmile

Hello,

If you know the time difference between the zones you can easily add or subtract the time difference to your original time.

Example:
Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) is: 18:12:20
Central European Summer Time (CEST) is: 20:12:20

If you want to convert the UTC time to CEST, just add 2 hours. The time is in cell B4.
=B4+TIME(2,0,0)

You can read more about how to work with time converting here.

Hi Rosa,

There are various time zone functions in Power Query. The one you need will depend on your data format. You can see them here.

Hi Rosa,

Please provide a sample Excel file so we can see what errors you're getting and the data structure you're working with.
