Data Update Time Displaying Incorrect Timezone When Published to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server

For the Tableau published workbook using the Data Update Time that is displaying the incorrect timezone, use one of the below workaround options:

Option 1

Specify the Tableau Cloud system time-zone after the <Data Update Time> function.

Option 2

Replace the Data Update Time function with a CURRENT_TIMESTAMP field from the dataset and calculation to specify the desired time time-zone.

1. Open the workbook in Tableau Desktop 
2. Create a custom calculated field according to the instructions in the following article, Date Calculations, Filters, and Time Stamps Show Unexpected Results After Publishing
3. Republish the workbook to Tableau Cloud.

Note: <Data Update Time> is not available to be used in a calculated field. In the above article, instead of a date field, use NOW() to approximate <Data Update Time> on a live connection. On an extracted connection, NOW() will not work as desired. However, for some data sources it may be possible to convert the connection to a custom SQL connection and add a CURRENT_TIMESTAMP field that will return the time the extract was created.
