Helper IIIFilter passed by URL not respected when exporting Power BI report to pdf
- I would suggest having the filter that could be entered might be the way to get it working going forward.
Hi JDBOS ,
As mentioned in the article, the URL filters is not supported when exporting to PDF currently. Also, based on my research, I have found other considerations that URL filters are supported in some embedding scenarios and not in others:
- Embedding a report in a secure portal or website is supported.
- URL filters are supported in Power BI Embedded.
- Query string filtering doesn't work with Publish to web or Export to PDF.
- Embed with report web part in SharePoint Online doesn't support URL filters.
- Teams doesn't allow specifying a URL.
So if you want to use filter to export, maybe you could filter in the report in advance then export to pdf instead of using URL filters.
For more information about URL filter, please refer the microsoft document that could hope to help you: URL filters

Helper IIIGilbertQ thanks for the coaching - unfortunately, this is for a nonprofit reporting on activity and outcome metrics so each page of the report has several viz, but we could certainly do "screenshots" and paste them in to a doc.
We're also exploring having another filter that could be entered based on the value in the passed record but we're trying to avoid re-entering info.
