Show Current Logged in User data only

Hello Folks,

 

I am new to DAX query in Power BI and struggling to use SelectedValue - any other ways would do as well.

 

The requirement is to show the data as per the Current Logged In User - in my table, I have got the User Principal Name which I using as follows:

 

CurrentUserData =
VAR CurrentDataFilter = FILTER(TimeReport, TimeReport[UserPrincipalName] =USERPRINCIPALNAME())
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE(TimeReport[UserPrincipalName] = CurrentDataFilter),
FALSE()
)

 

This is not working, hence need your help here.

 

Thanks!

Measure1
WhoIsWatching = USERPRINCIPALNAME() 
(that is email style usernames, or you can use USERNAME() for windows style users)

Measure 2
FilterByViewer = IF(selectedvalue(table[email])=[WhoIsWatching],1,0)

Drag Measure 2 as a filter for visual, select advanced filtering and set it to 
"Show items when value IS 1"

Almost there - I am now able to filter the data based on the Current Logged In user.

 

Next is I wanna show Multiple Columns in my Visual (see a line with Values) - in the below case I get only 1 value - I tried to return a complete row but it throws me the error "Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value"  - any other way to show multiple columns?

 

CurrentUserData =
VAR CurrentUserState = CALCULATE(MAX(TimeReport[UserPrincipalName]),FILTER(TimeReport, TimeReport[UserPrincipalName] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()))
RETURN
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(TimeReport[UserPrincipalName]) = CurrentUserState,
Values(TimeReport[Neukunden_Akquise_Produkte])
)
