Power BI Report URL Parameter Filters not working

[aar1]

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)

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-...

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.
