Enable URL filter parameters in SharePoint Power BI web part

[DWHDeployer]

Currently, when embedding a Power BI report in SharePoint Online using the Power BI web part, URL filter parameters (such as &filter=) are ignored.

The same filter parameters work correctly when:

• Opening the report directly in Power BI Service

• Using reportEmbed URLs

• Embedding via iframe / SharePoint Embed web part

However, when the report is added using the native Power BI web part, the URL filters are not applied, even though the filter may appear in the filter pane. This leads to inconsistent behavior across embedding methods.

This creates a major limitation for enterprise scenarios where:

• One report is reused across multiple SharePoint sites

• Each site requires a different default filter (for example Market, Region, Business Unit)

• Default slicer selection needs to be controlled via URL

Because the Power BI web part is the recommended and native SharePoint integration method, it should support the same URL filter capabilities as other Power BI embedding approaches.

Current workarounds require:

• Duplicating reports per context, or

• Using iframe embedding instead of the Power BI web part

Both increase maintenance and reduce scalability.

Requested enhancement:
Please add full support for URL filter parameters (such as &filter=) in the SharePoint Power BI web part to enable default filter and slicer state via URL.

This would significantly improve multi-site SharePoint + Power BI deployment patterns in enterprise environments.
