Query string on embed code in Power Apps

Hi All,

 

How can I use contain here instead of eq? no matter how I try it, it's not working.

The eq is working, but no matter how I try it with "contains", it's not working, it's just showing me all of the rows, instead of the filtered rows according to the Textsearchbox.

 

The embeded code that is working with eq:

 

Thanks!

Hi @Avih ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

Thank you @lbendlin for the prompt response. 

 

Power BI implementation of OData might not support the "contains" function directly in the query string. However, you can try using the following format:

&filter=contains(FACT_Tasks/TaskName, '" & Textsearchbox.Text & "')
If this approach still doesn't work, you might need to  handle the filtering logic within Power Apps itself before passing the filtered data to Power BI.
 

If this post helps, then please consider Accepting as solution to help the other members find it more quickly, don't forget to give a "Kudos" – I’d truly appreciate it!

I don't think the Power BI implementation of OData supports "contains"  but you can try it

 

Consider contains: $filter=contains(CompanyName,'Alfreds')

In your case that would be  

 

&filter=contains(table/column,'lookupvalue')

 

Note that your table name has characters that need to be escaped.

Unfortuantly it's still not working.
Is there maybe any other way to overcome this?
