Special character not working in Query/URL parameter

We are passing a query parameter in the URL for a PBIRS report to pre-filter the data for an Account.    Account names with a & sign don't appear to be working though, even though it's encoded.   ...

I used the same escape character format as this article explain. Replace the & with '_x0026_'

?filter table/column eq 'test '_x0026_' data'

The only problem I ran into was this seems to negate all other filters you pass in with the URL. This is the only one that comes through.

 

Hope this helps.
