Hi EveryOne!
Need help!
I am trying to create a URL Filter with the below code but it seems due to Semicolon(:) unique character It is not working
filter=PPM_DIM_XYZ/Svc L2: Offer Type in ('ABC')
Table Name = PPM_DIM_XYZ
Column Name= Svc L2: Offer Type
Value= ABC
I have tried using %3A as an escape character but i.e. also not working, Recommended in Percent-encoding - Wikipedia
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Gaurav51478 ,
By my test, this code can work fine:
?filter=PPM_DIM_XYZ/Svc_x0020_L2_x003A__x0020_Offer_x0020_Type eq 'ABC'
Here, I replace space with _x0020_ and replace : with _x003A_
Reference: URL escape codes

Hi! you don't need to only escape, you also need the unicode of the symbol. Escaping "_x[unicode]".
You can read more about that here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters#special-characters-i...
You should also do that for spaces.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
