Report in dashboard based on the user currently logged in

I would like to show a report, or other means to convey the information, on a dashboard so that the report collums, with a certain state that are assigned to a the user logged in, are shown.

I assumed this would be possible by using the current user as a variable in the reporting however this seems to create a fixed link to the person creating the report not the "current user" as I understand it.

Is it possible to fetch information in the form stated above or would the require creating a report & dash for each user?

[Edit]

Apparently this has been asked about before, however, it is unclear to me what the conclusion was. https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/dynamic-dashboards

Hello,

If you would like the Report widget to show data the Dashboard viewer has access to and their results, especially if the Current user criteria is applied to the underlying report, change the widget’s data is scoped by to Dashboard Viewer.
