Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL

Hi,

I was wondering if it works for Power BI Server 2020

It should...

why don't you upgrade your PBIRS? 4 years means you're more or less 12 version back...

Hi, @m_aj 

You can still use the URL query string parameter to filter reports in the 2020 version of Power BI Report Server (PBIRS). Although some users experienced some issues after updating to the 2021 version, these issues have been addressed in subsequent updates. You can check the changelog to see the updates and fixes for version 2020:

I also agree with R1k91 that if something goes wrong with the 2020 version, you can update to the latest version:

I am working on a report in PowerBI Report Server as well. Simply put, I have a report that filters on Items. I am able to pass Item filters using the method in the documentation. 

 

My question is: Can I also pass the tabs as a parameter. So if I have a report with multiple tabs in it, can I also pass a specific tab to the url?

I've also tried to explore possible solutions, but it seems that it may not be feasible.
