It would be great if it would be possible to pass filters in the URL of the report on the report server (as it is already possible in Power BI online)

As promised, we've added basic filtering of Power BI reports via URL parameters, similar to the Power BI service feature described here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-url-filters/. For example, if you’ve embedded a Power BI report into another app using an iframe and a URL like the following: https://reportserver/reports/powerbi/Store Sales?rs:Embed=true Then you can specify additional filters using the “filter” URL parameter: https://reportserver/reports/powerbi/Store Sales?rs:Embed=true&filter= Store/Territory eq 'NC' and Store/Chain eq 'Fashions Direct' Syntax: URL?filter=Table/Field eq 'value' The same restrictions that apply to the Power BI service apply to the Report Server as well: - Table and Field names are case sensitive, value is not. - Fields that are hidden from report view can still be filtered. - Value has to be enclosed with single quotes. - Field type has to be string. - Table and field names cannot have any spaces.

Does this work for Power BI Report Server March 2018 version? I have been unable to get it to work.

Hi Riccardo, I upgraded PowerBI report server with the latest march update and basic filtering of Power BI reports via URL parameters doesn't work.

I upgraded PowerBI server with the Latest March release and the passing filters through URL is not working any more. It was working with October Release but not with the latest march release

It would be great to retrieve the current filter's state using JS API.

RE: Pass filter in URL (Power BI Report Server)

This feature is a must. we already use the eq= url filter but we need also to filter on multiple values of the same filed with OR is that possible? how?

RE: Pass filter in URL (Power BI Report Server)

How can we hide the filter pane and the worksheet pane? And preselect a worksheet?

RE: Pass filter in URL (Power BI Report Server)

The service feature document on microsoft.com says it is not supported on Power BI embedded but your example in above post says it does. Which one is true?
