Thank you for the quick response.
What is the fact ?
Here's what I have
CUser = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
I need to pass this Cuser value to my dynamic query as below
select sec_lev_grant from table where upper(user_id) = upper('&CUser& ')
I cannot use import for table...because it has huge data. I have to use dynamic query mode.
Please provide more details on how to pass the USERPRINCIPALNAME() value to the query

yes. dont import your table. and dont use dynamic query. just create a table contains IDs and use it also in import mode and let the relationship do the filtrations
something like the following image
USERPRINCIPALNAME() will filter the dimention that will have a join in your database with the right id

Thank you for the reply. Without dynamic query I am confused how it filters the data.
Is fact a table that we get the results from the query and UserDim is the measure ?
