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

Have you found that this has stopped working? Yesterday this was working as per the solution detailed here but no longer.
Report opens up pre filtered, they confirm the selection and then export the to PDF, the PDF comes out unfiltered!
Yet, if they go to the report without the filtering in the URL and filter it in the report, it PDF's fine.
Pre filtering with URL so user only needs to select the one option of projectID. Filters no longer persist like this. Anyone elses experencing this?
