Embedding & Filtering Power BI Report Server Live Connection report

Is filtering through PowerBI Report Server and Live connection reports supported?
Yes it is. I just double checked on our production environment running the May 2020 release and this works as expected.
Note that you do need to get the filters exactly right following the documentation If you don't get the syntax correct or encode special characters correctly the filter will not be applied.
Thank you for yout answer. The url is like the following
http://server/bireports/powerbi/Test/ReportName?rs:Embed=true&filter=Tbl1/Field eq 'Product A'
which in the case of the Import mode report had succedded.
Also, we have Power BI Report Server Jan 2020 running on our infrastructure.
Could it be any other prerequisite that I am missing in the case of Live connection?
That should work fine. Do your table or field names have any spaces in them? If so did you encoded them as _x0020_ as per the documentation I linked previously? eg 'Table Name'[Field Name] would become Table_x0020_Name/Field_x0020_Name in a url filter
d_gosbell There are not any spaces included in tables' or fields' names. Nevertheless, filtering is not possible.
It seems that my problem was the use of lowercase characters when my table names were in uppercase.
Thank you for your answers.
