I am getting the wrong date listed when I use CURRENT_DATE() in a transform and it is a causing my data to display incorrectly. Why does it show the date at Dec 7 when it was actually Dec 6 as the NOW() function shows?
How do I fix this?
This issue MAY have to do with your company's time zone settings that admins can set. I know that beast mode functions are affected by this.
Check out this link for more info, it might provide a possible solution: https://knowledge.domo.com/?cid=timezoneissues
Specifically, potentially using the MySQL function "CONVERT_TZ()" to convert into your relevant time zone.
Unfortunately, I have tried convert_tz and our admin setting are set with our timezone correctly.
Hm, well if there are differences between the two functions only at certain times of the day, like starting later in the afternoon, then I would say that it is a time zone issue, otherwise I would open a ticket with DomoSupport since that shouldn't be happening.
I actually found a solution. In beastmode (because the timestamps are correct in the transform) I used convert_tz(`date`,'us/eastern','us/eastern'). This corrected the timestamps and properly took into consideration daylight savings.
