Solved: URL filter Issues

Anonymous · ‎04-17-2019

I am having trouble with sending a filtered report in a premium App. My company uses SQL Analysis services as the source of the data.

When followed the instructions it takes me to the report but it is not filtered. I have also tried with the %20 inplace of the spaces and %252F for the /.

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps/xyz/reports/xyz/ReportSectionxyz?filter=Table/Field eq ‘blah’

The end result will be a table with a list of projects, and when the user clicks the link they see the specific filtered view for that project.

Hi @Anonymous ,

As this case, it is not supported to filter a report in an app by URL. You can come up a new idea about that and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

This is very confusing because there is a section specificially for this, I just can't get it to work.

What is different between what I am asking vs. the link?

Hi @Anonymous ,

For a report in a workspace. It worked. However, for a report in an app, it did not work.
