Create a personalized greeting for your users with this Quick Measure. Uses USERNAME function so that doesn't work so well with Publish To Web.
Greeting = VAR user = USERNAME() VAR hour = HOUR(NOW()) VAR minute = MINUTE(NOW()) VAR prefix = SWITCH( TRUE(), hour<12,"Good morning ", hour<17,"Good afternoon ", "Good evening " ) RETURN CONCATENATE(prefix,user)
Place this measure in a Card visualization.
If you have a lookup table of user names and friendly display names, you can do this:
Greeting1 = VAR user = USERNAME() VAR display = LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[User],Table1[Email],user) VAR display1 = IF(ISBLANK(display),"Player One", display) VAR hour = HOUR(NOW()) VAR minute = MINUTE(NOW()) VAR prefix = SWITCH( TRUE(), hour<12,"Good morning ", hour>=12 && hour<17,"Good afternoon ", "Good evening " ) RETURN CONCATENATE(prefix,display1)

Basically I would expect Power BI Pro to supply somehow the user first and last name through a DAX call or something else.
I understand what you proposed though it just would not give me what I want wthout having another table loaded with names with a reference from USERNAME().
Thanks anyway for the response.
Hello,
Just a quick tip. In case username is an email address (I assume typically this is the case), first name can be extracted with these two variables:
var vFirstNameDigit = SEARCH(".",USERNAME())-1
var vFirstName = LEFT(USERNAME(),vFirstNameDigit)
