Apply RLS to a calculated column

‎08-30-2021 12:25 PM

In one of my tables I have a calculated column with a DAX expression. I would like RLS to apply to that calculated column, in the sense that the calculation done by that column is dependent on the RLS role. 

 

Can that be done?

 

(Just in case I'm not referring to what can be achieved via OLS (Object Level Secutiry): I dont mean  a calculated column that gets visible or not visible to certain roles. I'm trying to get a column to calculate its calculation based in RLS)

@AlexGurovich The short answer is no since calculated columns are not dynamic and are only calculated at the time of data refresh.
