I've checked multiple posts in the community, but can't quite figure out how to do what I need. I have orders from multiple locations, across multiple time zones, and some of the locations don't participate in Daylight Saving Time. Yet, somehow, I need to convert the order time from UTC to local time. Parsing out the hour from the timestamp portion is easy, I just don't know to build in all the other logic and have it work during DST and without DST.
Order # | Location | Order Date | Order Time (UTC) | Time Zone | Daylight Saving | UTC to Local | Convert to DST | Expected Result |
10 | 1 | 7/15/2020 | 2020-07-15T15:00:00 | Central | Y | UTC minus 6 | N/A in July | 9 |
11 | 2 | 7/15/2020 | 2020-07-15T19:00:00 | Central | N | UTC minus 6 | N/A - No DST at this location | 13 |
12 | 3 | 7/15/2020 | 2020-07-15T20:00:00 | Eastern | Y | UTC minus 5 | N/A in July | 15 |
90 | 1 | 12/15/2020 | 2020-12-15T15:00:00 | Central | Y | UTC minus 6 | UTC minus 5 | 10 |
91 | 2 | 12/15/2020 | 2020-12-15T19:00:00 | Central | N | UTC minus 6 | N/A - No DST at this location | 13 |
92 | 3 | 12/15/2020 | 2020-12-15T20:00:00 | Eastern | Y | UTC minus 5 | UTC minus 4 | 16 |
This site has a small table of Daylight Saving Time for the next few years, which might help when evaluating an order date to see if it's in DST or not. While a dynamic solution is ideal, I'm not opposed to hard coding this table as a Text Input, since I hope my project doesn't need to exist more than a few years.
