    Hi MahammadJafar27 

    Try the following measure, remove the rule in user table, and create a new rule in fact table.

    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            RLS,[User] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()&&
            CONTAINSSTRING ( [Region_Type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Region] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Category_type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Category] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Country_type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Country] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Pro_Type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Product] ) )
        )
    )=1

     

    Then test it.

     

    Best Regards!

      Hi MahammadJafar27 

      You can try the following solution.

      create four calculated columns in RLS table.

      Region_Type = IF([Region]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Region]),[Region],","),RLS[Region])
      Country_type = IF([Country]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Country]),[Country],","),[Country])
      Category_type = IF([Category]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Category]),[Category],","),[Category])
      Pro_Type = if([Product]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Product]),[Product],","),[Product])

      2.Create a table and set it cannot be viewed .

      Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(RLS,"a",[User])

       

      3.Create a measure and put it to the table visual.

      MEASURE =
IF (
    COUNTROWS ( RLS ) = COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
    1,
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            RLS,
            CONTAINSSTRING ( [Region_Type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Region] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Category_type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Category] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Country_type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Country] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Pro_Type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Product] ) )
        )
    )
)

       

       

      4.Create a RLS named test and input the following code in RLS Table.

      [User] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()

       

       

      5.Test it .

       

      Output

      Best Regards!

        Hi Anonymous 

         

        Thanks a lot, you are amazing!!!

         

        The solution satisfies the above requirement.

         

        I have few more challenges.

        1. If I have multiple visuals, I need to apply 'MEASURE >0' for each visual. What if the user has access to personalize visual?
        2. I am trying to apply the same logic in fact table (Modelling -->Test --> Fact) so that I can filter the fact table but couldn’t be able to achieve it. Is that something achievable? Please let me know.

        Your help will be highly appreciated 😊
