Most of our reports contain data of multiple team members.
So usually the first thing they have to do is select their name from a slicer. Kinda silly,...
Can I somehow create a default filter that is controlled by the logged in user, so using the USERNAME() or
I have the exact same issue - I really hope the Power BI Team will make this available eventually
Hi @MichelH ,
Actually, measures cannot be used as a slicer in power bi currently.
For your requriement, I think that Row-Level-Security will be a good choice for you.
With dynamic RLS, we could achieve that show the specific data for the specific user when we share the report in power bi service.
Please have a good look at this blogs below to know how to set the Role in power bi desktop and add members in power bi service.

In addition, you could refer to this document to understand what is RLS in power bi.

Hi Cherry,
Thanks for your response, but it is required that team members can see each others data.
RLS will prevent this, if enabled.
Thats why I seek to use the username just for a "default" filter.
Seems that something like this should be possible (a very desirable feature at least)
Cheers,
Michel
Hi @MichelH
Did you ever find an easy solution to this? If so can you share it?
I can't believe something so basic is missing from PBI.

Hi @RGI ,
Nope,
I was told to use RLS, which is not what I want here.
All I can see is a silly design choice to make this not work as expected.
The required functions are all there.
And I was told such a feature is not required since PBI remembers the last filter choice made the person.
So that works until the sales checks someone else their results. 😕
