Help needed with Filters using query strings in URL

Hi,

I'm using URLs to filter a PBI script published online and export different versions to PDF.


The name of the Table is "PF_Data_2" and the filter is "ELT 1st Layer Name" with values of type "Name Surname"


This url worked when I tested it a couple days ago, but doesn't anymore in any browser. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi Ibendlin,


Thanks, but what special character am I getting wrong?

 

_00x20_ for spaces in the table and columns

 

%20 for spaces in the value


All browser replace ' ' with %27

 

What is missing?

 

Escape the underscore too.
