URL Filter Parameter Not Working

[carlostortoledo]

Hi,

I am having an issue passing parameters in a report URL. I am following the documented format:  URL?filter Table/ColumnName eq 'value' but I get error 404 (see image below). The report works without passing a parameter.

I am using the following parameters:

Table Name = ViewProjects

Column Name = Project Name

Value = 'Bay Walk 10th to 12th Street - Marina'

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. 

Thank you!

Hi @carlostortoledo ,

How did you get the report URL? The highlighted URL looks unmatched with the original one. Please refer to this document.

Yuliana,

When I click on the report URL that I calculate, Power BI converts the link into "https://login.microsoftonline/55..."

Not sure why it does that.

When I do not select any values in my report (no Project Name selected), my formula returns the report URL without any filter, in which case the link works fine. Only when I select a value, the report filter does not work.

Thank you.

Hi Yuliana,

Thank you for responding!

I copied the report URL from my Workspace and placed it in the following measure:

Subproject URL = "https://app.powerbigov.us/groups/me/reports/060345ea-c60a-4a0a-9a7c-9787a46e00dc/ReportSection7e2296..."

Then, I used the following formula to calculate the report filter:

Subproject Filter =

Var SubprojectURL = [Subproject URL]

RETURN

    IF(AND(

            ISFILTERED('ViewProjects'[Project Name]),

            NOT(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE('ViewProjects'[Project Name])))

        ),

        // THEN

            SubprojectURL &

            "?filter=" &

            "ViewProjects/Project_x0020_Name" &

            " eq " &

            "'" &

            SELECTEDVALUE('ViewProjects'[Project Name]) &

            "'"

            ,

        // ELSE

            SubprojectURL

    )

I then placed the measure "Subreport Filter" in a table.

Please let me know if you see anything wrong in my formulas.

Thank you!

Hi @carlostortoledo ,

Please set the data category for measure [Subproject Filter] to "Web URL". Besides, please copy the report URL appended with query string parameter into web address to check if it works, similar to below, replace 'xxxx' with a specific project name.

https://app.powerbigov.us/groups/me/reports/060345ea-c60a-4a0a-9a7c-9787a46e00dc/ReportSection7e2296...

?filter=ViewProjects/Project_x0020_Name eq 'xxxx'

Hi Yuliana,

I tried the URL you provided with value I added (https://app.powerbigov.us/groups/me/reports/060345ea-c60a-4a0a-9a7c-9787a46e00dc/ReportSection7e2296... eq '72nd Street Park & Parking Structure'), but still not working. I get the same login error.

I also checked the measure [Subproject Filter], and it is indeed categorized as "Web URL".

At this point I am thinking it must be an internal network (on my end) access issue that I need to address with the support staff. 

Thank you for all your help!
