Power Bi URL Filter always showing all

[Anonymous]

I have a power bi report that I am trying to embed in a webpage. I currently have my URL as "https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=<reportId>&autoAuth=true&filter=<tableName>/<columnName> eq '<stringValue>'"

When i got to the webpage, it shows the filter, but states it is filtering columnName is (All) regardless of what I enter as the column value. The data is being pulled from an azure sql database through direct query.

I started out using the syntax described on the microsoft docs ?filter= instead of &filter= but changed to & after the filter wasn't showing up at all and reading https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/powerbi-docs/issues/588

Anyone have any ideas?

Try to follow the below format.

After & symbol add $ symbol.

Also, try to remove the special characters and whitespaces from the table name and column name, change the column type as Text.
