using alternate credential

[Anonymous]

Helllo,

For the username, I need to enter the domain, then the user Name.

Does the way to enter this information such as in a) or b)?

a) domain\\UserName

b) domain\UserName

Hey @Anonymous 

basically it this format domain\name.

You might have to consider that the functions USERNAME and USERPRINCIPALNAME might return values either Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service.

So for this reason you might also consider to have a closer look at the documentation

• https://dax.guide/username/
• https://dax.guide/userprincipalname/

Regards,

Tom
