Create measure to display in text box

Hi

 

I am new to Power BI so bare with me.

 

I got this table with user e-mails and names

Christianvs_0-1664135901492.png

I wish to create a text box that write the name of a user when the user is logged into Power BI with the corresponding e-mail.

For that purpose I am trying to create a measure that returns the name by using [E-mail] = USERPRINCIPALNAME() but I fail to get the measure working. 

 

Anyone who can help me out here?

Thanks

@Christianvs it should be:

 

User Name Based on UPN = 
CALCULATE ( 
   MAX ( Table[Name] ),
   Table[Email] = USERPRINCIPALNAME () 
)
