Hi @her 

It's not clear about your scenario.

According to your information, there may be several scenarios in Power BI:

 

1.  Power BI Service: Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL

Use the url of this format:

URL?filter=Table/Field eq 'value'

URL with filter

  • Table and Field names are case-sensitive, value isn't.
  • Fields that are hidden from report view can still be filtered.

 

2. Create a Power BI Slicer Panel and use Bookmarks and Buttons

To get the filter to work as expected, please uncheck the Data option (#5 below) from the bookmark options (ellipsis…) and then clicked on Update (#6 below).

3. use parameters to make your reports dynamic, including :

Using Parameters to Connect to a Data Source, 

Adding Parameters to Filter Data,,ect.
