Passing parameters from power bi report server to SSRS RDL does not work
Hello,
I'm using ?rp:parameter=value in a URL of SSRS RDL uploaded to the power bi server,
But it doesn't work - the report is not filtered by the passed parameter.
Is it only working with power bi service? not on server,
or maybe I should use Report builder instead of SSRS to build the RDL?
Thanks in advandced
It does not matter what tool you use to author the rdl files. The issue is that Report Server uses the Reporting Services syntax for passing parameters via the URL which is slightly different to the Power BI service syntax. If you remove the rp: prefix your urls should work (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/pass-a-report-parameter-within-a-url?view=sql-server-ver15 )
OK found the problem...wrote "False" instead of False()
I'm new to DAX so learning the hard way I guess...

WOW Amazing!! Thank you so much it works great now with one value passed in the url,
If I need multiple values, is there a way in DAX syntax for some kind of loop? If so do you have an example?
I need to pass multiple values for the parameter "Emloyee" like this:
https://ReportServer/Reports/ReportName?Employee=1&Employee=2
This is my code that works for one value:PaginatedaReportURL =
var _baseurl = "https://ReportServer/reports/ReportName"
var _selectemployee = SELECTEDVALUE(Query1[Employee])
var _reportparameterEmployee = "?Employee="&_selectemployee
var _result = _baseurl&_reportparameterEmployee
return
_result
Also I want the rdl to open up automaticly in excel so I've added "&rdl:format=excel" to the URL - but this also doesn't work (also tried "&rs:Format=excel" or "&Format=excel"). Maybe syntax also should be different for the server version?Thanks a lot!

Yes, you could use the CONCATENATEX function
PaginatedaReportURL =
var _baseurl = "https://ReportServer/reports/ReportName"
var _selectemployee = CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Query1[Employee]), "&Employee=")
var _reportparameterEmployee = "?Employee="&_selectemployee
var _result = _baseurl&_reportparameterEmployee
return
_result

Maybe syntax also should be different for the server version?The "rs:Format=EXCEL" should get you an xls file, if you use "rs:Format=EXCELOPENXML" it will return an xlsx file. (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/url-access-parameter-reference?view=sql-server-ver15 ) - I don't think the upper/lower case matters
