Start: DateAdd( Now(), -TimeZoneOffset(), Minutes) /* <- Modify your formula here */ If you want the start column of your SQL Table ('.') to store same date time value as that in your app, please modify above formula as below: Set( Start: Now() /* <- Type Now() formula here directly */ On your side, please consider modify your formula as below:

Within your Patch formula, it is not necessary to use a DateAdd(.) formula to convert your current time (Now()) into UTC time firstly, the passed date time value would be converted into UTC time automatically, and pass it to your SQL Table. Now()) for the start column in your Patch formula, the date/time value would be converted into a UTC time zone value firstly, then pass the converted UTC time zone value into your SQL Table. Why is this on the issue that you mentioned, I think you have some misunderstanding with the date/time value work mechanism in PowerApps.Īctually, when working date/time values within PowerApps, it would be converted into UTC Time zone value automatically. Then a few screens later, I use the patched variable Text(DateAdd( Trip.start -TimeZoneOffset(Trip.start) Minutes ) 'dd. Any idea why the conversion doesn't work? So for example it patched 12:25 when it should have done 14:25. So the problem is that it patches local times, instead of UTC.

The problem is, that it gets patched to the DB (where the 'now' variable is basically Now() that refreshes often). So when the work trip starts, I patch it to our database like so:

As per this article: I'm trying to convert whatever the user is entering to UTC and then display it back. I'm building an application for work travel, that is writing to a database that has the UTC timezone set, and then writes things to our ERP which is also set to UTC timezone.
