Dynamically export the report pages to PDF based on slicer value which is driving a Power Bi report

It works for me - check your data model and your table and column spelling. As you mentioned you can use the report URL for checking that it filters correctly.

It was not working because, i had set the slicer to have a mandatory "Single selection" turned ON. Once I remove that, I was able to successfully test this by passing filter value as a header in the URL. Same was dynamically generated in Power automate flow and passed within the filter parameter section for the "Exporting a PDF of the PBI report" connector in Power autiomate.

Thank you for confirming that this solution works.
Thank you lbendlin for your response.
when I add the filetre column to my power automate visual, i can use the value inside the power automate, but when i want the same filter values to go through a loop and apply back to report so thet visuals in the pages changes accordingly for me to export is where it is not working. Every time I loop through the list and try to apply different value to generate the visual and when tried to export the report into a PDF, the report output comes with the default selection and doesnt gets changes based on the filter value that i apply through power automate.
Attached my flow that I cerated for your reference.

You didn't apply the report level filter(s).

Resolver I
My report page visuals are driven by the slicer value which is also based on the same column that i have passed to the power automate. I tried to pass the value as a filter in the URL, but the slicer doesnt get chnaged. It needed be picked manually to get ti changed. Is there a way for me to interact with the slicers via any means.

I tried to pass the value as a filter in the URLWhat URL? This needs to be in the Power Automate export step. Make sure to specify both the table and the column name, and to escape special characters. (Like you would do in the URL)
