Field parameters and URL filters

Hi,

I have published a report with field parameter on my dashboard.

 

I have been trying to reference a field parameter in URL with no success.

 

How could I use the &filter=Table/Fieldname eq 'Tablename'[Fieldname]   ?

 

Thank you!

Accessing report with URL when using field parameters does not work.

 

I tried with URL of the report, that I copied from published report and added

&filter=Table/Fieldname eq 'Tablename'[Fieldname]

and it does not work.

 

It does work without field parameters.

 

Field parameters have composite key.

I have tried addressing each one of them but it does not work.

DAX studio works when filtering with field parameters, so I used the same logic in URL, but it does not work.

Hi @mkavcic ,

Just use "_x0020_" instead of space in the table name, like this:

&filter=Table _x0020_ name.

Special characters in table and column names

 

Special characters and spaces in table and column names require more formatting. When your query contains spaces, dashes, or other non-ASCII characters, prefix those special characters with an escape code starting with an underscore and an X (_x), then the four-digit Unicode, then another underscore. If the Unicode is fewer than four characters, you need to pad it with zeroes. Here are some examples.

Hi,

I am not using any space in table name.

My example was  &filter=Table/Fieldname eq 'Tablename'[Fieldname] 

 

So no empty spaces.

Is there anybody that uses URL filtering with FIELD PARAMETERS?

I have searched everywhere and found no working solution.

I have tried all the custom formatting options and URL filtering does not work.
As far as I know, this is a bug.
