Is there a good way to 'group by' a date/time field in local time?

 

It seems that although you can handle dates as a time series, you cannot 'group by' year, month, day, hour, or minute.For example, it seems that it is not possible to create a graph that groups data by hour or a graph that displays totals by year.

 

Is there a good solution to resolve this in Platform Analytics? It seems that 'GlideFunction' is not useful because we need local time, not GMT.

Dear all.

 

The option to use a 'Data Table' was considered, but we encountered a limitation where percentage values cannot be hidden. As noted in the community link below, this appears to be a design constraint in ServiceNow.
Data visualization seems to be ill-suited for BI use cases.
