Helper IVExport to PowerPoint or PDF is not filtered properly
Community SupportHi CmdrKeene ,
This is true, so you need to manually change the filter selection in the filter pane on the right when you export to PDF. Because you will find that the URL link don't change when you change the filter selection.
Or submit an idea .
Best regards,

Helper IVIt seems like it must be a bug. Since the URL filters are officially supported, and they do apply the correct filter in the filter pane. But for some reason the export doesn't recognize that the filter is set.

To be clear: the problem occurs after filtering a report with URL strings as officially documented here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters
We are currently facing the same problem. Setting a filter in the URL leads to a correct report, but the export to PowerPoint or PDF ignores the filter. And I agree: this looks like a bug!
Is there any solution found for this problem meanwhile?

I've not found a workaround this far. I will reach out in a Microsoft internal group I'm a member of, perhaps they can help clarify or escalate this.

The export with report URL filters is not supported according to documentation:
In the Power BI service, URL filters aren't currently respected when you choose Current Values for your export.
