Measure with Username() shows cryptic value when used with "analyse in excel"

$

Situation:
Created a simple PBIX testfile with two measures:
- myUsername = USERNAME()
- CurrentDT = NOW()

 

This measures display fine in PBI Desktop and, after publishing, in PowerBI.COM

Unfortunately, when i use the feature "analyse" in Excel and put the measure into values area of pivot-table, the measure myUsername gets numeric scrambled and looks like this:

Can anyone confirm this as a bug?

or do i need a special formula to use username() to work/display correctly in excel or any other OLAP Client?

As by Information Design requirements we have to dump the "who" information in every reports header, so it would be really helpful ithis is possible.

 

Best Regards,

Jochen
