PowerApps access in Mobile PowerBI (QR code scanner)
Hey Cinkov ,
1) Build a report URL that has query params that will used to filter the report (explained here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters)
2) Generate a QR code from this URL using any QR code generator.
3) Scan that QR code from Power BI Mobile app. The app will open the report and filter its data based on the query params you set.
Good luck,
Maya

Thank you for your answer.
I know mentioned solution, but I am looking for possibilities to read QR codes in the same way that scanning barcodes (which are default scanner for PowerBi mobile). This is possible using PowerApp, but I don't know how to join it with PowerBi dashboard.
Thank you! I will check it.
Hey lbendlin ,
Can you explain your scenario with more details please?
Are you looking to filter a report using QR code, with query params? we added support to filter report using query params in the QR code recently...
thanks, Maya
mshenhav Maya, yes, that's what I am looking for. How can a user choice in the PowerApps visual impact the Power BI data model? Very curious!
Not sure about PowerApp, but if you have a QR generated from a Power BI report URL, that has query param (this QR can be generated by any QR generator that accepts valid URL) then scanning that QR from Power BI mobile app will load the report and will filter the data using the query params.
