Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Is it possible in powerapps to check and see if DST is in effect on someone's laptop and/or device?

If so how can this be modified ?

If(TimeZoneOffset() > 0, "-", "+")
& RoundDown(Abs(TimeZoneOffset()) / 60, 0)
& ":"
& If(Mod(Abs(TimeZoneOffset()), 60) < 10, "0", "")
& Mod(Abs(TimeZoneOffset()), 60)

Thanks

Dave

Suppose a Label called Label2

In this Label called Label2, for Text property, use only part of your original formula like this:

If(TimeZoneOffset() > 0, "-", "+") & RoundDown(Abs(TimeZoneOffset()) / 60, 0)

Suppose another Label called Label3

In this Label called Label3, for Text property, use a formula like this:

If(Value(Label2.Text) = -7,"MST",If(Value(Label2.Text) = -6,"MDT","Other"))

Now, you can temporarily change the Text property of Label2 to simulate expected values.
Change Text property of Label2 to -8. Label3 text should now say Other
Change Text property of Label2 to -7. Label3 text should now say MST
Change Text property of Label2 to -6. Label3 text should now say MDT

Now, change Text property of Label2 back to the correct real formula:

If(TimeZoneOffset() > 0, "-", "+") & RoundDown(Abs(TimeZoneOffset()) / 60, 0)

Check if something like the above helps you.
