Change report parameter using URL

Hello experts,

 

I have a working set up of parameter pOwner and use it to filter the query. Next step is to let user change the parameter value through URL query (https://app.powerbi.com/.../ReportSection?rp:pOwner=amy). Found this article but doesn't seem to work: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/report-builder-url-pass-parameters

Any idea?

 

let
Source = Sql.Database("someserver.database.windows.net", "somedatabase", [Query="select * from items where belongs_to='" & pOwner & "'"])
in
Source

Im struggling with the same issue. How can a powerBI report viewer edit the parameters ? PowerBI seems ti have been built with novice developers and product managers seriously. Sad but its the truth

regular reports don't have parameters (data sources have parameters). You can specify report filters, and bookmarks.

i think you are mixing paginated reports with regular reports in the Power BI service. They likely use different URL schemas.

Yes so I learned. Also means there is no way for regular report to change its parameters?
