Get column values depending on user details

I have 2 tables here, the user details table and the learnings table.

Scenario:
I will log in as johnsmith@test.com in the dashboard, I want to get the Learning Title that matches my details(Rank, MG and SL). Or should I say I want to get the Learning Titles that are applicable to me depending on my Rank, MG and SL.
For example, 
I am johnsmith, since my rank, mg and sl matches the learning title 1's rank, mg and sl, I want to get the learning title.

Is that possible with Power BI?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to your statement, I think you can try to configure dynamic RLS in Power BI Desktop.

For reference:

Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Dynamic Row Level Security with Power BI Made Simple

I suggest you to merge [Rank]/[MG]/[SL] columns in both tables.

Merage Column = COMBINEVALUES("-",Learnings[Rank],Learnings[MG],Learnings[SL])
Merge Column = COMBINEVALUES("-",'User Details'[Rank],'User Details'[MG],'User Details'[SL])

Data model:

Configure rls in manage roles.

When you view as  johnsmith@test.com, you will only see data in "Learning Title 1":.

Hi @Anonymous 
Actually, have another step to do, I have another table(Completed Learning Report). Once I identified what's applicable learning to me. I want to check if learnings in learnings table are present in the completed learning report. If not, then I want to display those learnings that are not present in both tables or not yet completed.

Can you help me with this?

Please read about Row Level Security.  And about the difference between a dashboard and a report.
