Power BI Report Builder handling parameters with special characters

Dataset

Power BI Report Builder (version 15.7.1740.1)

 

Dimension-column "Eigentümer ID" contains special character (ü) and is used as a parameter:

rogerunholz_1-1635935167718.png

 

 

 

 

The query designer generates the following DAX-query (please note the special character 'ü' in the parameter @EigentümerEigentümerID):

However, in the dataset properties the parameter name has been automatically changed to EigentFCmerEigentFCmerID (FC is the Unicode representation of the special character 'ü'):

The Report Parameter was generated with the same name as the dataset parameter (EigentFCmerEigentFCmerID):

 

rogerunholz_4-1635935167739.png

 

 

When running the report, the following error occurs:

rogerunholz_5-1635935167742.png

 

 

Workaround: change the DAX-query manually (replacing the special character 'ü' with FC):

rogerunholz_6-1635935167750.png

 

 

The report now runs successfully:

rogerunholz_7-1635935167754.png

 

Please note, that the DAX-Query for the hidden dataset for parameter EigentFCmerEigentFCmerID also contained 'ü' instead of FC. For simplicity, the hidden dataset was removed from this example.

 

If needed we can as well provide the .pbix file which we used to reproduce the bug.

 

Many thanks for your help and regards,

Roger
