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

To sum up.
I used the way you described and it works pretty well! I had a problem with the names of tables/fields - so I changed them inside PowerBI to avoid special characters and spaces (I tried to use special string codes but I couldn't handle it).
Also, I wasn't able to generate new QR codes (I had to work on existing ones, but they contain data that could be connected with my PowerBI report), so I used PowerApps to create QR code scanner which concatenate powerBI URL and formula for filter by value of QR code. It works very well, but I am curious, why PowerBi allows scanning only BarCodes and to QR codes needs big workaround.
