    Imports with additional time offset

    Article summary

    Examples in this section describe outcomes where the imported data has the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss, and where there is an additional time offset (e.g. +03:00).

    When an imported value has an additional time zone offset (e.g. +06:00) then such value:

    1. First, converted to UTC (+00:00):
       e.g. 2022-05-01T00:00:00.000+06:00 = 2022-04-30T18:00:00.000+00:00

    2. Next, treated as local time at the time zone selected during import:
       e.g. 2022-04-30T18:00:00.000 (selected time zone)

    Notice that there is no conversion from UTC to the selected time zone, but an adjustment of the time zone itself).
