New URL parameter: "&experience=power-bi"

[mora11]

Hello, 

Do you know what actually does new add-in in app URL, which is "&experience=power-bi"?

In every report URL it appears at the end but for some reason for my paginated reports when I am passing some parameters it appears somewhere in a middle of the URL.

How to get rid of it?

Thanks

Hi, any chance that this new parameter is impacting the report page filter configuration thru power automate action "Export to file Power BI Report"?  I am trying the filter using "?filter=<table>/<field> eq 'value' but is not working.

Have you tried to paste your phrase "?filter=<table>/<field>" instead of "&experience=power-bi". To be more precise: delete everything after "?" in your URL and add your phrase "filter=<table>/<field>". Does it work now?

I am using the report Level Filter thru an automatic flow and is not working... when I test in the url.. it only works if I remove the "&experience=power-bi".. but not sure how to do it thru the power automate

hi mora11, is the additional parameter causing an issue? You currently cannot remove it as it is system generated. Team can look into alternatives if this additional parameter is causing an issue. Thanks.

I managed to create workaround for my issue actually, but does it mean that additional parameter shorten amount of information that can be passed via URL? Previously it was 2000 characters, so now it is less because of "&experience=power-bi"?

@mora11 can you share what your workaround was? I am having similar issue with passing in filter parameters 

[mora11]

I understand you have built your expresion that builds the URL with parameters, but "&experience=power-bi" appears somewhere in a middle of an URL? If so, please review your expresion, because I'm pretty sure you have one "space" sign within your expresion, which is recognized as the end of the URL by Power BI.

Hi @mora11 Can you help me to create a dynamic url? Because it is not filtering for me.

Do not have that character limit with the modern browsers, please check - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/812925/what-is-the-maximum-possible-length-of-a-query-string
[1/15/2024] update - mora11 is correct, there is a limit of 2k characters in URL in power bi

[mora11]

That's not true in terms of Power BI. I've just generated 3732 character long url and it did not pass any parameter value to the next page. Browser can handle more than 2000 characters but not Power BI while passing parameters values.

Hi. It's too soon to tell. For now you can't remove it. Microsoft is still launching many new stuff and services at MS Build. There are big changes regarding data platform like the new Fabric. That's why there is a new parameter, there might be a new tool that will own all data services and the parameter might show which service you are opening.

I hope that helps,
