Hi,
I am filtering a report using Query String Parametrs in URL. The reports breaks when it encounters special charaters like Ampersand, Quote etc in the filter condition (value).
Is there a way we can encode the URL string in Power BI.
Thanks
Did you solve it? Same here
Uri.EscapeDataString(part_of_url)
double encoding:
Uri.EscapeDataString(Uri.EscapeDataString(part_of_url))
Hi @dp106
You may have a look at below articles.

Thanks for your response.
I did go thru these documents before but could not get the filter condition working.
Here are the values in the filter condition
M&M - & is replaced with %20 so the filter string is M%20M. This works fine
Mgmt-Int'l - ' is replaced with %27 so the filter string is Mgmt-Int%27l. When i look the URL in the browser, it see only Mgmt-Int rest is cutoff so the filter is broken.
Any one facing similar issue ?
Thanks
