Helper IIHow to pass a URL with column name having '/'
I am having a coulmn name 'ContractKey/EngagementKey'. How to Pass this column in URL. Below Filter is not working because of the column name as it contains '/'.
?filter=Project/ContractKey/EngagementKey in ('791751','791824','1025638')
How to solve this issue?
HI Sreya,
I'd like to suggest you take a look at the official document specific characters to handle part if they helped:
Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL#special-characters-in-url-filters
If these not help, you can add a calculated column to your table with a common name. (copy the value from 'specific characters' column and use this to replace the raw field in URL filter)

I solved a similar problem by replacing the '/' with '_x002F_'
?filter=Sites/Region_x002F_LOB eq 'ESG'

Sreya , not very clear to me. Base on what I got is that you need dynamic url
refer, if this can help
Sreyaamitchandak I am having a column name 'ContractKey/EngagementKey'. While I try to pass filter on this column the target report is not getting filtered. It is happenning because the column name contains '/ ' in it.
Anyway we can solve this by using escape character or something like that?
