Convert timezone in interactive layout

edited Nov 8, 2016 6:54AM in BI Publisher (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered ✓

Hi folks,

We're using BI Publisher 11.1.1.9.160419.

I have an XPT layout in which I would like to convert the values in a date column from one timezone to another (America/Chicago to America/New York, for example) regardless of what the timezone is specified in the user's profile. I've seen code for doing this in an RTF layout (<?format-date:SYSDATE;'LONG';’America/Los_Angeles’?>) but cannot seem to find a way to do this within the column's Properties -> Format mask in the interactive layout. For now, I have converted the dates to text in the SQL query but the report users (rightfully) complain about the alphabetical sorting that occurs in the interactive layout.

Howdy, Stranger!
