ODATA PULLING DIFFERENT TIME?

Hi @development93 

The Odata directly fetches data from DB. I think your server time and instance Time Zone are different. Can you please verify?

FYI: 3hrs differences in EST and PST time zone.

Thank you for your response.

If I pull the data using POSTMAN I get the right results but if I pull using EXCEL get the above error.

What do you think about this?

@development93   Can you share the error message?

The data pulled is still -3hrs using EXCEL

But the time for the data pulled using POSTMAN is correct.

@development93  Not sure of the exact reason for this issue. 

If the postman fetches proper data with time means, Excel also fetches the same data. 

I hope u r not added the date format on the excel sheet.

Hi @development93! This is just going to be a functionality difference between the programs. The “correct time” is always going to be the time stamp stored in the DB, which is UTC time or server time which is the time you are reporting to be the “error”.

If Postman is converting this to your local time, then it is a feature of Postman doing this and possibly something which Excel could do, I’m just not aware of such a setting.

Either way, the DB time is most accurate time stamp.

Hope this helps

I really appreciate for all the responses, they’re very helpful.

The current situation is as shown below. Few Hours later Data fetched through POSTMAN started to return the same time as EXCEL is returning, unware of what modification was triggered. Fetched data using the BROWSER, returned exactly what is in the Instance.

I really want to find a way EXCEL can return the exact time as is in the Instance.

Any solutions provided will be highly appreciated.

@development93 In this case you’ll need to modify the field in the GI to subtract the amount of hours needed or add the amount of hours needed to the time so it will reflect this on export

How exactly can it be done without affecting values of time to be displayed in the instance but reflect only on the export?
