Support export of URL-filtered report to PDF/PowerPoint

Submitted by on ‎05-10-2022 06:53 AM

The export to pdf/powerpoint function ignores URL-filters. 

URL-filters are very usefull so please fix this error.

Hi @christianirgens,

 

Export to PDF with URL filters is not supported currently. It’s a limit that listed in the Considerations and limitations part in the official doc:  Export reports to PDF - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.

You could consider the workaround in this post: Solved: Filter passed by URL not respected when exporting ... - Microsoft Power BI Community or vote for similar ideas in Power BI Ideas: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/search-ideas/?q=export%20to%20pdf%20%20url%20filter.  Power BI Ideas is a place the product group collects the suggestion from users to improve this product. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the quick reply!

I've voted for the other suggerstions. I still consider this an error (of design) as the average user will not be aware of this limitation - and there is a real risk of reaching wrong conclusions based on the export (as the filering is different from assumed).
