Power BI Embedded Filter Problem

hi

 

i try to create an angular 2 application with Power BI Embedded report.

I create a dashboard with a Report level filter on a Function Table that is used to retrive the data.

I use this code, with javascript, to set the report

 

var m = { 
                    action: "loadReport",
                    accessToken: response.AccessToken,
                    height: h, 
                    width: w,
                    oDataFilter:'CountryRegion eq "United States"'
             };

but when the report is show the filter is not set (but work when the user click on it)

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks!

Both adding the parameter in JS or adding query in embeded URL work in my test.

 

In JS, a format as below should work, DO NOT mess the single quote and double quotes. You can add an alert to debug the passed JSON.stringified message.

oDataFilter:'CountryRegion eq "United States"'
oDataFilter: "<table>/<column> eq '<filtervalue>'"

 

One thing important is that <table>/<column> is case-sensitive. Make sure you've specified the correct names.

The filter needs to be set as a query string parameter on the embedURL.

thanks for your reply

 

i try this

 

iframe.src=response.Report.embedUrl +"&$filter=CountryRegion/CountryRegionName eq 'United States'";

but doesen't work....
