Barcode Scanner Reading Barcode Correctly but Not Filtering

[Anonymous]

All -

using the barcode scanner within the app I'm able to scan a barcode and it correctly reads it as I'm able to look within the recently scanned codes - while it does read the barcode it doesn't impact the overall report and filters nothing.

Any help on this would be incredible!

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

Here are some issues you may encounter when you scan a barcode on an item.

• You get a message Couldn't filter report - Looks like this barcode doesn't exist in the report data: This means that the value of the barcode you scanned doesn't appear in datamodel of the report you chose to filter. This might be the case, for instance, if the product whose barcode you scanned isn't included in the report. You can scan a different product, choose a different report (if more than one report is available), or view the report unfiltered.

• You get a message Looks like you don't have any reports that can be filtered by barcodes: This means you don't have any barcode-enabled reports. The barcode scanner can only filter reports that have a column marked as Barcode. Make sure you or the report owner has tagged a column as Barcode in Power BI Desktop.

• Filtering returns an empty state. This could mean that the barcode value you scanned exists in your model, but all or some of the visuals in your report don't contain this value. In this case, try looking at other report pages or edit your reports in Power BI Desktop to contain this value
