Power BI Report URL Parameter Filters not working

I've tried to filter reports both in my workspace and other workspaces using URL parameters but the content does not get filtered.

This is what I'm doing (&filter='OAT Database List'/Title eq 'AI Driller' is the part I've added)

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/647b465e-a833-4578-9bdf-7e9a0201037d/reports/1c63d825-2554-4e38-92a3-ad0bef3d1153/ReportSectioncde4a321d10228707596?experience=power-bi&filter='OAT Database List'/Title eq 'AI Driller'

  • Hi there aar1 

    For Power BI URL filters, special characters (including spaces) in table or column names need to be encoded appropriately. See here:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters#special-characters-in-url-filters

     

    For example, spaces in table or column names need to be encoded as:

    _x0020_

    Your URL should end up looking something like:

    https://app.powerbi.com/groups/647b465e-a833-4578-9bdf-7e9a0201037d/reports/1c63d825-2554-4e38-92a3-ad0bef3d1153/ReportSectioncde4a321d10228707596?experience=power-bi&filter=OAT_x0020_Database_x0020_List/Title eq 'AI Driller'

    Spaces in values (such as 'AI Driller') can be left as-is in my experience, but are automatically translated to %20 after navigating to the URL.
