I am working on Embedding a power BI dashboard on a client website, but the data source must automatically be changed depending on the logged in user. How can I acheive this?
Hi @Anonymous
Thank you for sharing that solution. But how can we dynamically retrieve the user's email address in Power query ?, since there is no native function to do that. I know that in case of DAX function we can use UPN to get the email address of the logged in user.
But, for Power query is there any workaround. I have looked everywhere but have not found anything related to it.
Hi @srbh24 ,
For your question, I think you can create a table that stores the user's email address and the data source connections that can be accessed. Dynamically get the email address of the user who logged in to the service in Power Query. Use ‘Table.SelectRows’ in Power Query to filter the tables that store the user's email address and the data source connections. Create a parameter, stores filtered connection information. Use this parameter to create a connection to the data source.
