Username() function not working

Hi Everyone,
Im trying to filter my visual with current logged in user (with out applying row level security) but it is not working. I have used following dax query for my measure.
 
New_Total Activity Count = IF(COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(ALLSELECTED('systemusers (2)'[fullname])))<COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(ALL('systemusers (2)'[fullname]))),
COUNT(activitypointers[activityid]),
CALCULATE(COUNT(activitypointers[activityid]),FILTER('systemusers (2)','systemusers (2)'[internalemailaddress]=USERNAME() )))
 
When I replace Username() function with some email Id for example "xxx@example.com" it works.
 
Kindly advice
Thank you.

Hi @somwanshi ,

 

As the Online Document, The username() function will return the format as domain\user locally, if you always want to get UPN email address format, you can use the USERPRINCIPALNAME() function.
