I have tested the call to the API using Postman as well with the same error as a result.

 

So it seems like a bug or is there any setting in the Power BI Report server which I need to set that the API can accept swedish caracters?

Hi, ssce 

 

Is the type of the parameter text? If the problem can be resolved by changing into universal characters, it should not support Swedish characters. Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    Yes the parameter is text. Can you suggest a code fragment how to change the text to universal characters and how to post it to the RestAPI? 
    Thx.

      Hi, ssce 

       

      If it is a  incompatibility problem, it is difficult to change, but we can change ourselves. The most direct and quick way is to change server name which doesn't contain incompatible characters.

        It is working fine when the parameter is set when uploaded directly from Power BI Desktop. It seems like it is a bug within the RestAPI.

        I can work around the issue in this situtation but I can imagine that this is not always possible to do that.
