Persistent Filtering in External Embedding

I have a set of Power BI reports that are embedded in a website. It is set up such that the users log into that website with a User ID configured through the site which passes that ID to Power BI to filter the data for that customer. But this is not a Power BI account.

 

However, when users navigate away from the page, all filters they applied are lost. Is there any way to get these to persist?

 

I've only been able to find information about how to do it when it's an internally embedded and people login using their PowerBI credentials.

Hi,

 

We also need to have filter persistency in the embedded reports, in exact same way as it behaves in the Power BI service, but it is not working. A single embedded report has to save filter preferences for each report user separately. A URL filter parameter passing is not a right solution since it passes the same filter for every user. Please suggest if this is an issue or known bug.

Hi, @VoijaRisa 

 

It seemed to be no valid settings, But I think you can consider using url parameter to filter data persistently.

Check the document:Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Like this:

?filter=Store/Territory eq 'NC'

?filter=Store/Territory in ('NC', 'TN')

?filter=Store/Territory eq 'NC' and Store/Chain eq 'Fashions Direct'

 

Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please upload some insensitive data samples and expected output.

 

Best Regards
