We were trying to pass the filters to the published PowerBI reports by following the steps in the given link.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35555694/passing-parameters-to-power-bi-filter-programmatically
everytime when we tried to apply the filter, a new report level filter appear on the page but clicking on this gives a message .
'This filter can't be used since the corresponding filed is invalid'
our filter query looks like this.
?filter=topprovidersbyads/jobid eq '81b9d959-067c-4319-a074-3815658a2c91'
where -
topprovidersbyads - Dataset name
jobid - field name to apply filter on
'81b9d959-067c-4319-a074-3815658a2c91' - value for the filter field
Try to change the "Dataset name" to table name,
&filter=tablename/columnname eq 'value'
One thing important is that tablename/columnname is case-sensitive. Make sure you've specified the correct names.
