We are keeping all of our time values in our data sources as UTC (as we consider this a best practice for our international customers).
However, when showing those dates in PowerBI reports, we’d love to get the option to visualize that date as a local timestamp, instead of the UTC timestamp.
I know this is not something that everyone needs as a default, but having the option to mark a field with datatype ‘utctimestamp’, for example would be a good solution.

Thanks
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
I agree with many of the comments below. It would be great to have a time stamp show the "corrected" time per a users time zone. This should be possible, for instance I can go into the service and see refresh times in my time zone, and my manager in Houston, sees the same refresh times but in her time zone format.
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
Please provide the option or formula to set time zone like UTC+8 or GMT+8.

"I am surprised that in 2023, a BI tool lacks support for timezones in visualization. Kindly consider implementing this feature."
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
Just one of many things Microsoft doesn't seem to get when it comes to the difference between serving large organizations vs mom and pops. A Power Bi report should know from the browser what time zone it is and adjust automatically.
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
I find it surprising that a BI tool in 2023 doesn't support timezones for visualization, Please implement.
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
Pls provide the option or formula to change the any time zone like UTC to CST or IST
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
We are working with D365 Project Operations which needs additional reporting.
Due to this issue we are not able to build consistent reports for our customers.
This should be solved very urgently!
RE: Support for visualization of UTC timestamps
This issue should have been implemented from the beginning. This shows us how inferior Power BI is.
