## Changing the date and time zone in Affinity Analytics

Please note that the **Time Zone** in **Settings** will not apply to the times shown in your Affinity Analytics dashboards (which are based in PST by default).

* To change the **date format** in your Affinity Analytics dashboards, you must create a custom table calculation by following the video and formula examples in this article: [Changing date format with custom table calculations](/s/article/Changing-Date-Format-with-Custom-Table-Calculations)
* To change the **time zones** in your Affinity Analytics dashboards, you must create a custom table calculation (see the video above) using this formula:
  * Use **`add_hours()`**.
  * Replace **`your_date`** with your own.
  * Type out the formula.
    * Example: London's time zone is 8 hours ahead of PST, so the formula would be: **`add_hours(8,${your_date})`**
