Filter a report using query string parameters (for instance "(blank)" values ) in the URL
Within Power BI Service, I am trying to filter only (Blank) values.
For instance, If I want to filter "Unit 1", the syntaxis would be: URL?filter=Table/Org eq 'Unit 1' and that's okay.
However, I want to filter the (Blank) value (meaning NULL values), I tried with URL?filter=Table/Org eq '(Blank)' but Power BI interprets "(Blank)" as a string not as NULL.
What I need to get is an expression like: where Org is null or where lenght(Org) = 0.
I have already reviewed the documentation Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Are there any thoughts or ideas to workaround this issue?

Excellent question. The only thing that comes to mind is using the "NOT IN ( )" approach (by "and"ing a couple of "ne"s) but that probably gets old quickly if you have high cardinality.

I think this should be raised as an idea.
Hello guys, I am having the same issue and I have looked everywhere, but have not found a way to make the odata URL filter understand blank Power BI values. Did you guy make any advance?
I reached the same conclusion provided by lbendlin , but with high cardinality models it is not a viable solution.
Thank you so much.
