Creating a filter based on USERPRINCIPALNAME

Hi everyone,

I have following user table and I have applied Row Level Security based on Organisational Hierarchy. I would like to create a slicer based on logged in user as if logged in person's state is same as user's state then "Domestic" else "International". However, I can't use USERPRINCIPALNAME in calculated columns/tables. so any idea if that's doable? thanks

PATHCONTAINS(Users[Path_Func],LOOKUPVALUE(Users[user ID],Users[email],USERPRINCIPALNAME()))

Formula not working beacuse we can't use USERPRINCIPALNAME in calculated columns/tables.

Domestic/Interstate = IF(Users[user State]=LOOKUPVALUE(Users[user State],Users[email],USERPRINCIPALNAME()),"Domestic","Interstate")

Hi @Anonymous ,

As we can see from the error message, it isn't supported. What's your purpose? Maybe there are other approaches. For example, we can use a measure like this, then we can filter out these 0s in the Filters.

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    IF (
        MIN ( Users[email])
            =USERPRINCIPALNAME (),
        1,
        0
    )
)

 

 

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!


Best Regards
