Power BI Export API - Character Limit

PBIUSER_01 — Fri, 24 May 2024 12:43:32 GMT

Hi All,

Is there a limit set on the number of characters that can be passed to the Power BI Export API filter section? We were not able to pass more than 40 characters.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi PBIUSER_01 ,

The character limit you're experiencing does not directly relate to the Power BI Export API itself but might be related to how filters are structured or encoded.

The total length of the URL, including the filter parameters, is subject to a browser and server limitation, which is typically around 2000 characters. This includes escape codes for special characters.

If your filter contains special characters or spaces, they need to be properly encoded. Special characters in table and column names require more formatting, which might increase the overall length of your filter string.
