Saving USERNAME as a static value?

[jmkvalsund]

To avoid using RLS I've made some calculated tables filtering on

CamEmail=CurrentUser, and for the test setting CurrentUser="someone@mycompany.com"

Ideal I should now set CurrentUser=USERPRINCIPALNAME() but as you know that is not supported in calculated tables. 

Is there a way to store USERPRINCIPALNAME() as a static variable initiated when loading the report (as there are in most other languages)? And then set like CurrentUser=StaticVariabel?

Hi @jmkvalsund ,

Yes, it is not possible to use the USERPRINCIPALNAME function in a calculated column or in a calculated table.

and, there are no native functions in Power Query that can do this.

Check the following threads to see if using measure to filter visuals meets your needs(Please replace USERNAME in the formula with USERPRINCIPALNAME).
