Row Level security

Hi

This is a test scenario and I’m having the following issue

I have two tables

 

Users (with two columns)

Username                           Region Name

--------------                          -------------------

A@x.com                            Seattle

B@x.com                             San Diego

 

 

Regions (with two columns)

Region Name                     State

------------------                    ------------------

Seattle                                  WA

San Diego                            CA

 

Row level security has been configured with filtering [Username] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()  From users table.

I have the following Measures

_USERPRINCIPALNAME = VALUES(Users[Username])

_USERPRINCIPALNAME Region = if(HASONEVALUE(Users[Region Name]),VALUES(Users[Region Name]),"single Region must be selected")

And following calculated column on Region

Filter Region = if(Regions[MarketName]=[_USERPRINCIPALNAME Region],1, 0)

 

if I view report as role B@x.com

_USERPRINCIPALNAME will be populated as B@x.com

_USERPRINCIPALNAME Region will be populated as Seattle

However Filter Region will always return 0. I was expecting for San Diego to return 1 and for all other regions to return 0

Hi @skhalatian,

 

Based on my test, here we need to create the Filter Region as a measure and update the formula as below.

 

 

Filter Region = if(MAX(Regions[MarketName])=[_USERPRINCIPALNAME Region],1, 0)

 

Then we can get the result as we excepted.

That is a perfect suggestion however I need to use the Filter Region on the page/report level

if I use a measue I can not use that as  page/report filter ( it has to be calculated column or column)
