Hello Folks,
I am filtering the data based on the current logged in user using the below query, now I would like to return some of the columns associated with that user - how to achieve that ?
In the below case I get only 1 value - I tried to return a complete row but it throws me the error "Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value" - any other way to show multiple columns?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Amit, thanks for the reply.

Measure1
WhoIsWatching = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
(that is email style usernames, or you can use USERNAME() for windows style users)
Measure 2
FilterByViewer = IF(selectedvalue(table[email])=[WhoIsWatching],1,0)
Drag Measure 2 as a filter for visual, select advanced filtering and set it to
"Show items when value IS 1"

@Anonymous , Try like
CurrentUserData =
VAR CurrentUserState = CALCULATE(MAX(TimeReport[UserPrincipalName]),FILTER(TimeReport, TimeReport[UserPrincipalName] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()))
RETURN
IF(
Max(TimeReport[UserPrincipalName]) = CurrentUserState,
max(TimeReport[Neukunden_Akquise_Produkte])
)
