[bibhore_in]

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.
