How to filter a dashboard by the current user email?

Moriondo — Thu, 04 May 2023 19:52:25 GMT

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to filter a dashboard by the current user email?

For example, I have a table result of a group of people with the following columns: user_id, user_email, date, productivity. So with this table I create some views that show the productivity of each user and I want to create only one dashboard that any user can go and check theirs results. For this, I would need to filter the current user logged on Databricks to filter the dashboard and show only their result.

Hey guys,

After some research on the documentation, I found out that if a filter the query using the current_user() function, I will get the result that I was looking for.

If anyone need look at this:
