Pass parameter value in URL query string?
Open the report and switch to the bookmark of choice and copy the URL
That is what I am doing already, I am using a global measure with a switch to do the current measure selection, the problem is I lack the knowledge of how/when to tell the report which measure to switch to when the report loads.
I am migrating a bunch of reports from Spotfire, and in Spotfire you could save bookmarks (which I know you can do in PBI as well) and then you could reference the url via the bookmark id like https://spotfire.mydomain.com/report/Papermaking?bookmarkid=someguid and it would load the specific view with all the settings saved. The goal here is the user can open the report and not have to do a bunch of manual filter selection (they need things made easy lol). I really don't want to have to make 100 separate pbix report files, I wanted it to be as dynamic as possible, since we will have like 20 different measures that hit the same data table.
I guess I naively assumed PBI was just as mature as Spotfire.
But you can create bookmarks and copy the url with the bookmark guid too.
Sorry how do you do this? In Spotfire you can right click on the bookmark and click generate URL but I don't see any option in PBI desktop
Open the report and switch to the bookmark of choice and copy the URL
Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't realize you needed to publish the report, open it up online, then click the bookmark to alter the url. In Spotfire, you can right click on the bookmark in the thick client and click get url.
