Filter Parameter using USERNAME in Power Query

[Matt Allington]

I have set up a parameter in Power BI (get data) to change the master folder path for different users. When I email the PBIX to another user, then can just swap from my path to their path and then refresh the workbook. Does anyone know if it is possible to extract the USERNAME() (like in DAX) and then use that to automatically change my parameter?

Hi Matt,

I'm pretty sure it is not possible with the available Power Query functions.
Maybe something can be developed (which is beyond my knowledge) and your question may be more appropriate for TechNet or the Power BI Community developer forum.
