Starting in March 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.ĭST starts on March 11, 2007, at 2 a.m. In 2005, the United States Congress passed an energy bill that included extending Daylight Saving Time (DST) by about a month. Because NOW() is equal to, the formula should produce a 1 for every record shown here.The campus community should be aware of how Daylight Saving Time (DST) will affect their computers. We'll need to use DATETIME_PARSE() to transform this string into a readable date. Remember that DATETIME_FORMAT() converts datetimes into strings. There's just one problem - the result of this formula is not a formatted date that's readable by Airtable. Using the combination of SET_TIMEZONE()and DATETIME_FORMAT(), you can convert what's shown in the date field to Los Angeles time. You'll first write the DATETIME_FORMAT function, and then wrap that function with SET_TIMEZONE().įor example, if a date field is configured to not use GMT time therefore, the date will be shown in your local timezone (CST). Whenever you need to set a timezone, you'll need to use this function in combination with DATETIME_FORMAT(). This is written in the form SET_TIMEZONE(datetime, 'timezone identifier'), in which the format specifier can be something like 'America/Chicago', 'Europe/Oslo', or 'Pacific/Marquesas'.įor a full list of supported timezone identifiers, see this article. This article will cover its use and is part of a guided course which you can view here. The SET_TIMEZONE()function will allow you to set the timezone for the data from a date type field. What this means is that collaborators working together in the same base can, and will, see different dates and times unless a specific timezone has been specified, or, using GMT time for all collaborators has been toggled on (again, on a field-by-field basis). Any formatted date can be specified to show a specific timezone.Any formatted date has the potential to be set to GMT time - or not.There is no workspace, base, table, or user-wide timezone setting in Airtable.As the same for everyone, if you choose to have the field configured as a GMT field by switching on the "Use the same timezone for all collaborators" toggle shown below, in the field's customization menu.In collaborators' local time, so the datetime will appear different for viewers in different timezones, adjusted from GMT.But, how you choose for them to display in your base is a field-level setting that will affect all collaborators. Options for displaying datesĪll dates are stored in Airtable in Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT. This article will cover how to work with and troubleshoot timezones, and is part of a guided course which you can view here.
