Change the Chart X Axis column Based on RLS value

‎05-06-2019 06:36 AM

Hi All,

I am very new to Power BI and looking for your help here !

I have applied RLS to my dashboard using USERPRINCIPALNAME ()

There are 5 columns that I am using in the RLS to search for USERPRINCIPALNAME (). This works fine for me as I am using OR function to apply the RLS. Below mentioned is the function used in RLS.

 

[ManagerEmail2] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()||[ManagerEmail3] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()||[ManagerEmail4] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()||[ManagerEmail5] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()||[ManagerEmail6] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()

 

The issue I am facing is with the dynamically change the chart X axis based on the RLS result column. For example if the logged in user email ID is found in Column "[ManagerEmail5]" then I want to change the chart X axis to [ManagerEmail6]. Is this possible in Power BI ? Below is the sample data from my Table.

 

If I have to do this in SQL server, I can use IF statement in a custom column to change the respective Column values to display. If (USERPRINCIPALNAME () in [ManagerEmail2] , [ManagerEmail3], If (USERPRINCIPALNAME () in [ManagerEmail3] , [ManagerEmail4], If (USERPRINCIPALNAME () in [ManagerEmail5] , [ManagerEmail6], Blank())

I had to knock the data flat and use a m:n relationship, but it should work. 😉
