barcode scanner doesn't filter,,

I have a problem as in the past,,

 

When I use the barcode scanner from the left hand menu of the app, it recognizes it and pulls up the correct report, but it does not filter that report by the barcode. When I try to use the scanner within the report to filter, it says, "No code found. Align code within frame." I have tried this multiple times.

 

I have only one barcode field in PBIX and it's already barcode format,,(data category)

 

could you help me..?

Thanks!

    Same issue on my side (mobile app v 15.4)

     

    Scanning works ok, but no filtering. EAN barcode, 128 barcode, EAN13. Nothing works.

    I hate to resurrect this old topic, but i cant find anything else and no one is replying to my thread. I have the same issue as the person above me. My report does not filter but it does open after scanning the bar code. Any help would be appreciated.

      Hey airwolf39 ,

       

      Can you please double check that your report is not filtered? there is a known issue where the scanned barcode does not affect the report filter pane, but it does filter the report content by the code scanned.

       

      If the problem still persists, can you please share more details on what platform are you using, app version, and sample PBIX with a repro of the issue?

       

      Thanks, Maya
