I was clicking around in the calendar demo and realized that it is hard to work with the date time. It looks like the time zone configuration for the calendar view and the date time column doesn’t match. It isn’t obvious which time zones that are used where so when I pick a date time, the time doesn…

Dear Tomas, Unfortunattely not yet as explained in the link: https://help.coda.io/organizing-your-doc/layout-options/how-to-build-a-calendar-view I am sure the developers will soon find a solution for it. Enjoy Coda, Jean Pierre

Thanks for pointing me to the post. I hope the devs fix it soon, otherwise it is quite useless when you work in a distributed team that spans multiple time zones.

Hi folks, Timezone handling is definitely an area where Coda will be improving in the future. The current state of the world: There’s currently no doc-wide or per-column setting for default timezone. Each individually entered date or datetime is assumed to be in PST unless a timezone is specifi…

Thank you for an elaborate answer. The way I would like it to work is exactly like the google calendar. So when I’m in a new timezone I get the option to change timezone, and then everything I do is in this new timezone, both when I enter and when I look at the data. That was not the experience I h…

One workaround here is to enter in the timezone after the time (assuming you’ve selected a Date & Time) column format. For instance, if you put EDT at the end of the date, it will convert events from PST to EDT (this helps especially for full-day events): [image]

I agree that is a workaround, but feasible to require the users of the doc to remember the time zones to use though.

Hi there, For me this works: `thisRow.Created()+Hours(8)` (I am located in Europe, so 8 hours difference)

Not sure how you think that should be used in a calendar in a distributed team that also travels between the offices.

currently I only use Coda for personal purposes. however I think that you can create a table, where you manage the time difference by users (for yourself +3 hours, the other guy +8 hours, etc.) then you can reference this table in the above mentioned formula. if it is a task list, then you cerainl…

EDIT: Nevermind, realised I could just use a Time() function to add the difference prior to initiating the Zap. Not ideal, but will work for now :smile: Is there any way to do this within a formula? I’m trying to push certain data to Buffer using a button + Zapier integration, but right now Buffer …

Is there a way to configure or control time zones for a calendar?
