How to apply specific RLS to different visuals?
Hi Anonymous ,
I can't reproduce your mistake.
My measures are of the WHOLE NUMBER type.
There is another way to create two new measures:
CurUserMetric = CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Metric] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[EMPL] = USERPRINCIPALNAME () ) )CurUserAndManagerMetric = CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Metric] ), FILTER ( 'Table', SELECTEDVALUE ( ( 'Table'[EMPL] ) ) = USERPRINCIPALNAME () || SELECTEDVALUE ( ( 'Table'[Manager] ) ) = USERPRINCIPALNAME () ) )Dragging these two measures to the two visual objects to replace the [Metric] also fulfills the requirement, and this method does not need to set the Filter.
If the problem is still not solved, please provide a Power BI Desktop file in progress (with sensitive information removed) that fully covers your issue or question in a usable format (not a screenshot). You can upload the PBIX file to a cloud storage service such as OneDrive, Google Drive (set up public access), SharePoint, or a Github repository, and then share the URL of the file.
The pbix file is attached.
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Hi Anonymous ,
Thanks for the reply from lbendlin .
To implement different filters for each of the two visual objects, you can create two measures and then apply them to the Filter at the visual object level. creating an RLS directly affects all the visual objects, not just a single visual object.
Please follow my steps.
First, here is my test data:
Then, create two measures:
MEASURE =
IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[EMPL] ) = USERPRINCIPALNAME (), 1, 0 )MEASURE 2 =
IF (
MAX ( 'Table'[EMPL] ) = USERPRINCIPALNAME ()
|| MAX ( 'Table'[Manager] ) = USERPRINCIPALNAME (),
1,
0
)
Create two visual objects, set the screening effect of visual object 1 to MEASURE = 1, and set the screening effect of visual object 2 to MEASURE 2 = 1.
The final page visualization is shown below. At this point, you can observe that Visual 1 displays only the viewer's data, while Visual 2 displays their data and all the people reporting to them.
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Hi Yang! Thank you for sharing this solution; it's promising. I was following the steps for Visual 1 & build Measure 1. When I try to filter to "is 1", the filter on the visual doesn't let me click on the drop down option:
I tried following this: Solved: Re: Using measure as a filter - Microsoft Fabric Community but it seemed like my DAX format was correct; did you also have it set to "Whole Number" as well?
Additionally, is there another way to do this instead of using MAX? When I was debugging, it seemed like the MAX returns the max of the dataset, so in this case, it'll only work if the employee == E. If the user viewing wasn't E, the boolean would be false since it's E [max employee in this dataset] == [another employee letter who's viewing].
Thank you very much again!

Creating new DAX that's leveraging the FILTER() statement did work for our use case. Wishing the visual filter one did too, but this helps us continue in our build. Just marked your comment as the solution. 🙂
