odata Report Level Filters Multiple Filters Same Column

I have this in the Report Level Filters of Power Automate on the 'Export To File for Power BI Reports' operation.  The filter doesn't work when applying multiple criteria to the same column.  

Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value eq 'Bob Smith' or Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value eq 'James Brown'

I tried this also:  

Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value in ('Bob Smith','James Brown')

The filter works if I only have one value.  Any other way to make this work?

Ithin this 'in' doesn’t work preperly:

OData does not support in in the way SQL does. While newer APIs like Microsoft Graph support in, Power BI's Export API does not support it reliably.

try following fo the best pactices that we are using on day today work.

If this continues to fail:

  • Modify the report to include a multi-value parameter (like a slicer with "Bob Smith" and "James Brown").

  • Use a bookmark or hidden page filtered only to these values.

  • Or, split the automation to export each user separately.

try this method putting 'or'

Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value eq 'Bob Smith' or Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value eq 'James Brown'

 bash

Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value eq 'Bob Smith'%20or%20Current_x0020_Hierarchy/Level3Value eq 'James Brown'

the "in"  version should work 

 

OData IN Operator filter function - OData | Microsoft Learn

 

Check the spelling of your filter values, not sure if it is case sensitive.

I checked it very thoroughly, and it still wouldn't work.  I ended up using the bookmark option with page name, and it works pretty well.
