3. Select the macro and click Edit.

5. Enter the following SQL query:

   SELECT *,
   FORMATDATE(DATEADD(hour, T1.'GMT' + (T1.'Created'::Date->getTimezoneOffset() / 60), T1.'Created'))
   AS 'My Time',
   FORMATDATE(DATEADD(hour, T1.'GMT' + ("today"::Date->getTimezoneOffset() / 60), NOW()))
   AS 'Current Time'
   FROM T1

   SQL

6. Click Next.

7. Define the date format .

8. Save the macro and the page.

The getTimezoneOffset() method returns the time difference between UTC time and local time, in minutes.

The NOW() function returns the current date and time.

The  DATEADD() function adds a time/date interval to a date and then returns the date.

The FORMATDATE() function converts time/dates to the specified in the Table Transformer macro settings date format.
