Filtered URL nog working with % in filtered value

Hi,

 

We use filtered URL's to filter specific articles in a report.

This has been working properly for quite a while.

An example of a working link: 
filter=Artikelen%2FArtikelCode%20eq%20%27FLEX00948%27

 

In this case we filter on article FLEX00948 in table Artikelen and Column ArtikelCode. 

 

Now we have article codes which end with -%. Like: PE0040V0520SBMM-%

 

If I try to filter this value, the link is not working. I know there is an escape code for %, which is %25, but is is still not working. This should be the addition to the url in my idea: filter=Artikelen%2FArtikelCode%20eq%20%27PE0040V0520SBMM-%25%27

 

Anyone ideas?

  • Hi Tomkru 

    Thank you posting in Microsoft forum community 

    I appreciate you for sharing details the link which you provided was not Accessible. 

    Please consider the following steps to address this issue: 

    • Ensure that every special character in the filter value is correctly encoded. For the % character, the escape sequence is %25. However, the - character does not need encoding as it is not a reserved character. 
    • Confirm the syntax for filters in the report URL matches the expected format. For example, eq is for equality comparison. 
    • If the eq operator is causing issues, you might want to try using the contains operator instead.
