HELLO,

You probably mean USERTZOFFSET(). It is somewhat inaccurate way of calculating the difference between the user’s local time and UTC time, based on the regional settings configured on the user’s device.

If you are, in fact, referring to the USERTZOFFET() function, it has no practical purpose that I can discern. To get the user’s actual UTC offset, use:

(UTCNOW() - NOW())
