Pass filters in URL

[majhig]

It would be great if we can pass filters in the url of the dashboard, which will filter the reports based on various parameters e.g. current fiscal period, geography, person's role, department etc.

we want to implement advanced visualisations, based on data in an existing BI system, and add links to relevant data in powerBI dashboard. adding that capability will be very helpful

Some filtering capabilities are available. Shameless plug: http://mmaitre314.github.io/2016/02/13/passing-report-filters-to-power-bi-using-urls.html

Any way to pass parameters to a Power BI report would be helpful. if URL is the only way, so be it. Been passing in parameters with SSRS, even Crystal Reports, so critical for us.

URL and JavaScript way: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35555694/passing-parameters-to-power-bi-filter-programmatically

Passing parameters via the URL isn't secure enough. We need a way to pass parameters that doesn't allow users to change the query string to see other user data.

This will increase user adoption. Very few people will go through all the steps necessary to create personalized filtered reports/dashboards. We need the ability to distribute corporate reports without 2 pages of instructions on how to personalize them.

This is a must have feature at not just the dashboard level, but the report level. Couple that with a native SharePoint Web part with a query string parameter connector.

URL to a PowerBI report using parameters as filters. This allows integration with other system, by only reference the URL.

HI , I was trying to apply this kind of functionality in our application like sending the parameters from external app and retrieve the filtered report on the basis of geo location. Please suggest if any solution.

We already use an embedded BI product in our application and would like to replace it with Power BI embedded. This is a key feature for us. Happy to test/validate any early versions. Any update on the format of these filters?
