The data from Date/time fields are loaded to analytics reports according to the server time regardless your account time zone settings.
Let's consider an example of working with deals. First, let's create a new deal and remember its name and creation time. In our example, the Deal #1728 was created at 5:41 pm.
Then go to Google Looker Studio and create a table to see the exact time when the deal was created. Use the following dimensions in the table:
- Unique key - ID of the deal.
- Deal name - name of the deal.
- Created on - time when the deal was created according to the server local time.
In the table you can see that the Deal #1728 created at 5:41 pm is shown with another time in the analytics system.
This may be inconvenient when generating a report, you can manually edit the creation time in the analytics system.
