Power BI RLS Roll Based Not affecting DAX table

I am starting to use RLS with my PowerBI model and all is working well apart from an issue where a table created from a DAX is getting the details from another table ignoring the row level security.

I have a 'Sales' table with 10,000 rows it in and is filtered on a 'SiteID' which when filtered down, limits the displayed to 3,000 rows (this is correct). But when i create a DAX table based off this 'Sales' table, it shows data from all the rows not just what is limited by RLS.

First image of the Security Table: Security

Second is of the Dax Query and table which needs to be filtered: Dax

Let me know where in my DAX query I am going wrong.

HI @jfletty,

 

Current power b not support to create dynamic calculated column/table based on filter, please take a look at following link to know more about this:

Calculated Column/Table Change Dynamically According to Slicer Selection in the Report.

 

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you create a normal calculated table and use RLS filter to control which records will display.

 

Steps:

create table, build relationship to RLS table, modify 'cross filter direction' to both and turn on 'apply security filter in both direction' option.

 

Regard,

Xiaoxin Sheng

Do you know this is still the case? I'm having what appears to be the same problem and I can't find a write-up online about why this happening or how to work around it.
