Simple User Filtering options
I'm trying to filter data by the username of the current logged-in client. I realize there are solutions to this, RLS is enabled, but we don't have SSAS to manage the aggregations outside of PBI.
I created a measure that looks up a 'tag' value of the username() and a table that matches the username to a site location. Then I'm trying to create a column that calculates the max of the site number and filter on the measure's value.
CheckSite = IF(LOOKUPVALUE(UsersTab[Tag], UserTabs[Domain], USERNAME()), 1, 0)
CheckSecurity = CALCULATE(MAX(UsersTab[Site_Number]), FILTER(UsersTab, [CheckSite]= 1))
I was hoping to use the CheckSecurity column as a report-level filter, but I get an error that username() is not allowed in columns.
I'm trying to circumvent these restricts, but so far no luck.
Thanks!

Hi Gutenvirt,
Currently, in Power BI Desktop, it is not supported to use USERNAME() function in calculated column, you can vote the following idea about this issue.
