Hello,
Here is my problem : I have a huge table in direct query with a column named "name_user" it contain a dozen of differents users.
I want to create role that match their "name_user" with the value that the USERNAME() function is sending.
But in order to do that, i need to create a dimention table of user like this :
user id ; user name (that refers to mu "name_user" ; the result of the USERNAME() function.
I will fill up the table because i know what is the username() of the different "name_user"
And then i'll be abble to create roles to filter my table in function of their username.
So my question is : how do I create a table just with 3 columns ? I've tried to follow the documentation but there is always some errors in my code. Maybe an exemple would help me a lot.
Many thanks.

Hi @paulineCom ,
Can you give a little bit more information please? What is the syntax you are using and the information you want to place in the table.
To creata a table in dax you have several options but this depends on the way you want to build you can do:
Table2 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Name] );
"E-mail"; 'Table'[Name] & "@gmail.com";
"Role"; SWITCH ( 'Table'[Name]; "A"; "MANAGER"; "WORKER" )
)
This table uses the distinct values of Name column in another tables and add two additional tables one with e-mail and another with role based no the name of the person
You can also create a table with a single column:
Table2 = DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Name] )
And the add each individual column:
E-mail = 'Table2'[Name] & "@gmail.com"
Role = SWITCH ( 'Table2'[Name]; "A"; "MANAGER"; "WORKER" )
You can create a table with all values written direcftly in the code:
Table 3 =
UNION (
ROW ( "Name"; "A"; "E-mail"; "A@gmail.com"; "Role"; "Manager" );
ROW ( "Name"; "B"; "E-mail"; "B@gmail.com"; "Role"; "Worker" );
ROW ( "Name"; "C"; "E-mail"; "C@gmail.com"; "Role"; "Worker" )
)
There is a various number of ways to build this, I know I have been very generic but without any sample data is difficult to pin point what is happening in your model.

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsHello thank you both for your help,
It's working thanks to the syntax @MFelix gave me.
Have a nice day 🙂
Hi @paulineCom ,
Did you try selecting just 3 columns from your main table and creating your table?
You can do this easily in Query editor in Power BI.
Thanks,
