Row Level visibility based on Windows Login?

I have a spreadsheet with multiple salespeople listed. Each row has a different seller's name and other sales data. It has very private data related to each sellers performance and pay. Is there a way for me to share this file with all sellers listed without going through all the work of parsing out individually? Can I add something that uses the seller's Windows login credentials... which I have in a column for each seller... that would restrict visibility to all other data except for theirs?
I'm using Excel 2016.

Thanks,
Kevin

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Excel is not secure in any shape size or form.
The only way to ensure your data is kept private is not to share it.
So I would advise splitting the data into separate workbooks.

Isn't there anything I can do with Row Level Security and/or VBA to restrict visibility based on user name or email? Or is this something I would need to build with PowerBI?

You can do things with VBA/sheet protection, but it is NOT secure & can easily be broken, by anyone who can search the internet.
