We’re able to convert your time/date column to another timezone in a few Parabola steps!

1. Format Date/Step to convert your date/time to Unix time (using X as the format code),
2. Insert Math step to add or subtract the number of seconds required to shift your time into your desired timezone (1 hour = 3600 seconds)
3. Format Date/Step to convert it back from unix and into your desired date time format  
_Note_: It is not possible to account for daylight savings time in this method!
