Filtering by file name

Hello everyone,

I'm using the POWER BI Report Server, to which i upload my pbix files.

I'm wondering if there is a way to filter my visualizations according to the current file name.

For example, i want to upload a file called "DI", so when i open it, the pbix file will be already filtered to DI Department only (I have a Department slicer, which i would like to be alrady selected to "DI" when that file is opened), maybe by reading the url path and selecting department according to that. Is it possible to have a slicer that automatically selects a value according to the current url/file path?

Thanks a lot,

nofar.

    Hi nezra,

     

    Based on my test, it is not possible to meet your requirement currently. You can come up a new idea about that and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

    I don't know if that is possible, but you should be able to save your PBIX in the state that you want, upload it and it will preserve that state.

      Hi nezra,

       

      Does that make sense? If so, kindly mark my answer as a solution to close the case.
