The 'Export to file' API endpoint is a great addition to the API, however, I was surprised to see that there is no way of passing in filter/slicer options. Bookmarks can be applied, and are suggested as a workaround - but this isn't suitable for our use case. We want to be able to generate PDF for sending out to multiple users - but need to set filters programatically - bookmarks wont let us do this. Idea: Add Filter Options to the API Request Body - With capabilities similar to the JavaScript embedding API => (Filter Types, Operators, Values, and Conditions). Thanks!

- Lloyd_WilliamsNew MemberAgreed, please add the functionality of passing parameterised values through to the filters before export.
- pbiideas1New MemberSensible suggestion. This would really enhance the offering with added functionality.
- Paul_WattsNew MemberPaginated reports have a mechanism for passing in filters, please add something similar for power bi reports.
- dave_oreardonNew MemberThis is such a mind-numbingly obvious feature that I can't believe it wasn't a Day 1 feature. Here's hoping we get it very soon.
- lrichard1New MemberThis is a must have feature. The limitations around automated reporting must be improved.
- Vicky_GMakhija1New MemberReally need this feature soon. A must, must have for exporting automated PDFs and sending to my user groups.
- Atluri_Raghu_PNew MemberCan we get an ETA on GA for this feature? We have stopped our Power BI adoption due to this limitation.
- jake_carvilleNew MemberAs others have said, any update on potential go live for this? Unfortunately came across this stumbling block after a day of development
- rboyderNew MemberPlease add this as soon as possible. We need to have this as soon as reasonably possible. It’s urgent .
