Timezone conversion in a Google spreadsheet

Question

I know this looks simple.

In a Google spreadsheet, I have a column where I enter time in one timezone (GMT) And another column should automatically get time in anoth

Answer 1

Create your own Timezone Converter in Google Sheets:

Step 1: Create your table for the timezone converter.

Step 2: Enter the times for your time zones in a column. Note: Ensure that you select date/time format(Select Cell(s) -> Format -> Number -> Time/Date)

Step 3: Write a formula to convert timezone using the following functions Google Sheet Functions

=HOUR(A8)+(B3*C3) converts the hours.
=MINUTE(A8)+(B3*C3) converts the minutes.

Step 4: Convert back to time format using TIME(h,m,s) function

=TIME(HOUR(A8)+(B3*C3), MINUTE(A8)+(B3*C3), SECOND(A8))

This is a simple way to convert timezones. However, if you want to implement an accurate timezone converter that takes care of the previous day, next day, and beyond 24 hours, beyond 60 minutes, please use MOD operations and handle all the cases.
