    Hi Anonymous 

    As I mentioned before, UserName() will return Domain\Name in Power BI Desktop. UserPrincipalName() will return email format like [email protected] in Power BI Desktop.

    Both of UserName() and UserPrincipalName() will return email format to show UPN(Current user login in Power BI Service) in Power BI Service. 

    My Test:

    CurrentName = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Name]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Domain\Name] = [CurrentUser]))

    In Desktop, UserName() will return Domain\Name, so measure works well.

    In Service, UserName() will return a email format and measure won't work.

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou
