Power Apps and Power BI Integration and delegate Power BI filters to Power Apps parameter

[Anonymous]

Hi Community,

I have a question/issue regarding embedding a Power App inside a Power BI report, and hopefully someone can help me out. 

Introduction:

• The issue concerns Power BI and Power Apps integration.
• The task that I'm trying to accomplish is to delegate a Power BI filter as a parameter to the Power App.

Demonstration:

Here you see an overview of the dashboard that I'm talking about.

Figure 1: Power BI dashbord with Power App embedded

I got it to work like this by setting the 'Text' property of these controls in Power Apps to:

Figure 2: Text Property in Power App

Now, if you look in Firgure 1, you see that I have not selected a filter for Type Abonnement, and "AFL" is propagated to the Power App. Makes sense, right, because I set the 'Text' property to `Text(First([@PowerBIIntegration].Data).abo_type)`.

What I need to accomplish however is, when no filter is selected, no value is propagated to the Power App as a parameter. So considering Figure 1, I would expect that the Type Abonnement parameter in the Power App is empty.

I've tried to accomplish this with some logic as:

IF(

COUNT(

DISTINCT(

Text(PowerBIIntregation.Data).abo_type,

abo_type

) > 0,

BLANK(),

Text(First(PowerBIIntegration.Data).abo_type)

)

)

But I can't seem to get it to work properly. 

Can someone help me out? Or, at least, point me in the right direction for a solution?

Looking forward hearing from you!

Regards,

Marko
