I AM NOT GETTING SOLUTION HELP ?

 

Hi

These are the tables i current have

Users

 

UserList

Exchange Rate

Dom\ABC123

0.123

Dom\zzz112

0.789

Dom\SDF312

1.2

BU

Total Value

So the user table has row level security to bring back the details of the user.  This then applies a relationship filter to the User BU table to find the BU`s a user can see.  Then from there it applies a relationship based on BU`s to show the sales within the BU`s that a user can see.  Hope that makes sense.  It seems to work.

Now my problem is i have exchange rate in the user table.  I want to use this to convert the each total value into the users exchange rate.

It doesnt seem to matter what i have tried it never seems to bring back the value filtered by the RLS in this table.

To begin with i am just using this to create a column

Weighted_LocalCurrency = min(User[exchangerate])

But the value isnt the same that is in the RLS filtered table for the user.  I just cannot work it out

Any ideas?

Hi @malhotra6675 

The reason your formula doesn’t work is because you created a calculated column. Calculated columns are fixed at refresh time and don’t respect Row Level Security.

You need to use a measure instead:

User Exchange Rate =
SELECTEDVALUE(Users[ExchangeRate])

 

Then multiply your sales values by this rate:

Total=
SUMX ( Sales, Sales[Total Value] * [User Exchange Rate] )

 

This way the exchange rate will always come from the RLS-filtered Users table, and each user will see their own correct conversion.
