I'm struggling to troubleshoot a date filter and would be grateful for any assistance...
From searching on here, it seems that the likely cause has to do with timezones, but I don't see where the issue lies.
- The column in question is just a "date" datatype. No time.
- Metabase Report Timezone is correctly set to America/Los_Angeles.
- Database is SQL Server. If I query SYSDATETIMEOFFSET(), it shows the correct current time with offset (-08:00).
If I set the filter widget to "Current Day", it returns the correct data. But if I set it to "On", and choose today's date, the result is different - it shows tomorrow's data! Regardless of any timezone mismatches, I'd think that "Current Day" and explicitly setting the current day's date should not return two different results.

Edit:
I took the generated sql from the two questions and ran them in SSMS, with the same mismatched results. I still don't understand why, though...
