I have a question on exporting to PDF in power bi online.
I have a filter on all pages:
When I export to PDF, this filter is not applied. So the downloaded PDF is not applied with id '2986153'
I export with "current values"
'Huidige Waarden' means 'Current Values'
Does anyone know why this filter is not applied?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Arendp ,
Try use Power BI REST APIs to export report and filter a report using query string parameters in the URL.
In the Power BI service, URL filters aren't currently respected when you choose Current Values for your export.
Refer to:
Microsoft -- PowerBIReportExportConfiguration

Hi @Arendp,
See this article on automating the export of user-specific PDFs (with filters and slicers applied) from Power BI.

extra info, the filter is set via an url:

Maybe it makes a difference?
