Hi everyone,

I’m trying to solve a date/time issue in a Glide app we use for daily delivery routes.

We have a **Route Date** column and a “Today” view that should display only routes scheduled for the current day. Our users are in Michigan (Eastern Time), and we need the operational day to change at **midnight Eastern**.

Instead, the app appears to roll over at approximately **8:00 PM Eastern**.

I ran a controlled test Sunday 9/13:

- At **7:45 PM Eastern** , the app was blank because there were no Sunday routes.
- Monday 9/14 routes were already loaded in the data.
- At approximately **8:00 PM Eastern Sunday** , the app began rolling over to Monday.
- By **8:09 PM Eastern** , the Monday 9/14 routes were visible.

Because 8:00 PM Eastern currently corresponds to **midnight UTC** , it appears that the “Today” calculation/filter may be changing dates based on UTC rather than Eastern Time.

We have experimented with the **Respect time zones** setting on the Route Date column, but the 8:00 PM rollover still occurs.

**What is the correct way in Glide to create a “Today” filter that changes at midnight in the user’s/app’s Eastern Time zone rather than midnight UTC?**

Our desired behavior is simple: Sunday routes should remain the current routes through **11:59 PM Eastern** , and Monday routes should not become “Today” until **12:00 AM Eastern**.

Is there a recommended way to accomplish this using **Route Date, Respect time zones, Current Date/Time, or an If-Then-Else computed column?**

Thanks for any help.
