Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL in PowerBI App in iPad

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I have got a report where I use URL Parameters to direct users to a specific Account, based on which Account they click on which is available in the PowerBI report Filter. This is working fine when I open the report over the browser. The link is as shown below.

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/[ReportID]/ReportSection?filter=MyTable/MyColumn eq 'RowA'

However, when I open the same report in an iPad over the PowerBI App the URL filter fails. The report comes back non-filtered.

Could you please help me on this?

Hi @Anonymous,

1. Please install the latest Power BI app in your iPad. 

2. Please try to check if the issue related to your report. Go to Power BI service, get data from sample Retail Analysis Sample. Then edit the report, add a textbox with URL follow this blog and save the change. Go to Power BI mobile app test again. 

3. Based on my test, click the URL inside of the report within mobile app will go to browser open the report. Please open mobile browser, then sign in Power BI. Back to Power BI mobile app, click on the URL to see if the report is filtered.

Hi Quiyun Yu,

Many thanks for the response

 Power BI application on my iPad is the updated one. (20th of December 2017). I have tried your idea, the filter is working perfectly on the browsers like Safari etc in the iPad, but if I open up the report in the application with the same URL, it is not filtering the parameters. 

Could you please help me more with this?
