How to Display User Specific Time in Excel Header using Dashboard XFBR String

[Rithik_Prem]

Hi,

We are trying to Display User Time when we export the report to excel on Excel Header. We tried using this code, but it is giving us the UTC Time.

If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("DateandTime") Then

Dim localTime As DateTime = DateTime.UtcNow

Dim timeZone As TimeZone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone

localTime = timeZone.ToLocalTime(localTime)

Dim formattedTime As String = localTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")

Return formattedTime

End If

Is there any way to display the User specific Time?

Thank you

Since the XFBR code runs on the OneStream Server the server's Timezone will always be what is returned by  TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.

To use user TimeZones:
Store each user's three char time zone in one of the User account Text fields.

Then use the following code to look it up and use the TZ in your code above:

Dim strTimeZone as String = BRApi.Security.Authorization.GetUser(si, si.UserName).User.Text1;
