URL Filter to Publish to Web Report

Hi, How could I filter data through the URL in a report "publish to web"? I have read this message but some links are broken: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/How-to-Pass-a-URL-Filte...

Hi All,

If you are looking to filter via the URL, then Publish to Web does not currently support this.
See limitations here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters#considerations-and-troubleshooting

"Query string filtering doesn't work with Publish to web or Export to PDF."
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Matt

  Anonymous then how do you explain the report of which I shared the URL? This report seems to be a "publish to web" report...
  Thanks,

    Hmmmm... I hadn't picked up on the querystring part of those 2 URL's.
    I had checked the documentation and taken it at face value.
    
    My assumption was that the 2 links differed and were generated with different 'defaults' set on the report at the time of generation.
    Apologies for not being more thorough before responding KJanssens .
    
    I would have said that the documentation must be out of date... but it was last updated 4 days ago.
