Visual level filter not working in app

I have published a report to a workspace, then created an app. However, in one of my reports, I have a visual level filter that works fine in the workspace, but when I publish to the app, the filter disappears and shows all data.

Has anyone come across this issue before and, if so, how can it be fixed?

Yes I was having a similar issue. My problem was I had a date column that I wanted to use as a report level filter to my report on Report Server. The date was duplicated from a date/time column and renamed month, I had just the month transformed from the original. When I was working in desktop it would work just fine, but when I updated the report in the Report Server it would say: “this filter can't be used since the corresponding field is invalid”. Being very confused I started trying all kinds of different strategies. I eventually saw someone on this site say: “publish it again with a different name and try that”. That solution worked for me. Give it a try at the very least. It seems this is an ongoing issue and for someone who isn’t good at figuring out solutions, it would be a nightmare to solve.

I know this is old, but I found a solution that worked for me.  I believe the issue may stem from persistent filters.  Hitting the "Reset to default" button in the app fixed the visual level filters.  I have now disabled persistent filters by default in the report settings.  The blog post I linked above explains how to do this.

Hi Anonymous,

Based on my test using the Power BI desktop of version: 2.61.5192.601 64-bit (August 2018). I cannot reproduce your issue here. Could you please tell me your steps of creating the report with Visual level filters so that I can reproduce your issue here.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issues. When I publish to My Workspace, the visual level filters work perfectly. When I publish the same file to my premium app space, some of the filters work and some don't. 

Same issue here.  Visual filters work perfectly in the desktop, but when I publish to the premium workspace, any visual level filters that I've applied become unfiltered.  Hope this gets fixed soon

Same issue here.  Visual level filter is applied in the desktop app (left), but isn't applied once published to app workspace (right).

Hi csm,Anonymous 

Based on my test using the latest version of desktop :2.63.3272.40161 64-bit (October 2018). I cannot reproduce your issue here. Did you publish the report to the same workspace?

Maybe you can create a support ticket for help here.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? I am having the exact same issue. I did note that I was using bookmarks in the report. Perhaps those are causing corruption with the filters somehow?

Hi, I am facing exactly the same issue with a report level filter working fine in PowerBI Desktop and sometimes disappearing in the published report in app.powerbi.com. Sometimes the filter is there, and sometimes it is not there anymore for a same user.  Several users have experienced the problem. Other users have not had the problem yet using the same report. I haven't figured out yet how to reproduce the error consistently. Has the issue been picked up by the support team?

Solution is, delete the report from workspace and re publish it with the same name or different name. It will show exactly like PBI Desktop.
