    The 'Export to file' API endpoint is a great addition to the API, however, I was surprised to see that there is no way of passing in filter/slicer options.

    Bookmarks can be applied, and are suggested as a workaround - but this isn't suitable for our use case.

    We want to be able to generate PDF for sending out to multiple users - but need to set filters programatically - bookmarks wont let us do this.


    Idea: Add Filter Options to the API Request Body - With capabilities similar to the JavaScript embedding API => (Filter Types, Operators, Values, and Conditions).

    Thanks!

    Is this functionality already available?

    It would be a great addition to the existing REST API Export functionality!

    It would be nice to get an idea of the roadmap for the release of this feature

    Please add this as soon as possible. We need to have this as soon as reasonably possible. It’s urgent .

    As others have said, any update on potential go live for this? Unfortunately came across this stumbling block after a day of development

    Can we get an ETA on GA for this feature?
    We have stopped our Power BI adoption due to this limitation.

    This is a must have feature. The limitations around automated reporting must be improved.

    This is such a mind-numbingly obvious feature that I can't believe it wasn't a Day 1 feature. Here's hoping we get it very soon.

    Paginated reports have a mechanism for passing in filters, please add something similar for power bi reports.
