Hi @Sikandar,
>>We have oracle database and data in a table for different users so wants to restrict
The different uses can get different data, they filter the table based on their name? If it is, you need to create a parameter containing all name combinations for differents. Or you also use parametor in Power Query, please review the following article which shows the detailed operations.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply and these filter are for data filteration by I want user id as parameter for data security. So will develop a dashboard and will share with all users and once they will connect will get their own data based on their OS user passed to query. Is there a way to get current OS user as environtment variable or any other way so can use in query like
select name, amount from sales where user_id = username()
thanks
