InputTables username setup

In SuperTables for Power BI, the username for InputTables is chosen in the general InputTables configuration (configuration → InputTables), not from the visual’s Format pane. To make a column available for selection, first add it to the visual (either the Column or Value box in the Format pane). If the username column isn’t added to the visual, InputTables won’t detect it and it won’t appear in the configuration dropdown.

Once you add the column it will appear in the SuperTables grid. Open the Custom configuration, go to the InputTables tab, log in, and select the column as the username. After you save the InputTables configuration, the chosen username column will be registered with InputTables and will be removed from the SuperTables grid.

If you don’t already have a username column, you can create one in your semantic model by adding a new measure that uses the USERNAME() function — this creates a column containing the current user’s name which you can then add to the visual and select in InputTables.
