Filter report with URL query paramaters
I cannot get the newly added feature to filter reports through URL query paramters to work.
I have created a report with a manually entered table with the name Table1. Columns are Column1 and Column2. In these columns i enter the vauels (1, A), (2, B), (3, C) and (4, D). I add a simple table visual the show all rows from Table1. Then I pulish the report on my updated report server and enter the URL: http://server/reports/powerbi/TestReport?filter=Table1/Column1 eq 1. All lines are showing. I allso tried surrounding the 1 in single quotes but I get same result.
Help needed!
Hi Anonymous,
I really dont know if that is the case, but I had some problems with visualizations that were solved after I cleaned the Chrome's browser cache.
Filters here works with Chrome...

hello Anonymous,
please be aware of the following limitations:
The same restrictions that apply to the Power BI service apply to the Report Server as well:
- Table and Field names are case sensitive, value is not.
- Fields that are hidden from report view can still be filtered.
- Value has to be enclosed with single quotes.
- Field type has to be string.
- Table and field names cannot have any spaces.Hi Anonymous,
The issue should be the Column1 data type is number, while it requires field to be string. You can filter via this URL:
http://server/reports/powerbi/TestReport?filter=Table1/Column2 eq 'A'
For more infomration, see:

Best Regards,
Qiuyun YuThanks but this did not solve the problem. I changed the name of the tabel to T and the columns to C1 and C2. Both columns are type text.
I have tried this:
http://rerver/reports/powerbi/TestReport?filter=T/C1 eq '1'
http://rerver/reports/powerbi/TestReport?filter=T/C2 eq 'A'
http://rerver/reports/powerbi/TestReport?filter=T/C2 eq 'a'
Nothing seems to work. Im begining to doubt I have installed the latest version of PBI Report Server. How do I check that?
well, your sintax seems to be corect. I just tested in one of my reports and here it works well.
You can check the version on the ? menu from the report portal:
