Convert UTC date / timestamp to local timezone in a Excel ODBC connection

Question

i have a Excel which is connected to a Oracle Database via ODBC. I get a UTC timestamp from the database and i want to convert this timestamp to CET.

Dies anybody have an idea?

Sample:

SELECT
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.INFRASTRUCTURE_CHANGE_ID INFRASTRUCTURE_CHANGE_ID,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.ITSM_SERVICE_NAME,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.IMPACTED_SITE_GROUP,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SUMMARY,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.NOTES,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.IMPACT,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.STATUS,
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SCHEDULED_START_DATE, -- UTC
    V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SCHEDULED_END_DATE -- UTC
FROM QQITSMREP_READ.V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA
WHERE V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SCHEDULED_START_DATE >= to_date (SYSDATE)
    AND V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.IMPACTED_SITE_GROUP like ? -- Parameter

Any help will be appreciated.

Try this one:

(V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SCHEDULED_START_DATE at time zone sessiontimezone) AS SCHEDULED_START_DATEAS 
or
(V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SCHEDULED_START_DATE at local) AS SCHEDULED_START_DATEAS 

Perhaps ODBC does not support timestamp datatype. Try to cast it to DATE type:

CAST((V_CHANGE_SELECTED_DATA.SCHEDULED_START_DATE at local) AS DATE) AS SCHEDULED_START_DATEAS
