URL Filter not working on report in App Workspace

[WCONGRAVE]

Hi

I've got a site report that I use url paramaters to direct users to a specific site, based on the site code. this works in "My" Workspace

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/[ReportID]/ReportSection?filter=SiteInfo/SiteCode eq '3408'

However, when I publish the exact same report to an App Workspace, the URL filters fail.

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/63805a40-89ff-4fa4-8a2e-55055ef0903d/reports/[NewReportID]/ReportSect...

The report comes back non filtered, and I can see the url parameter being removed from the URL. I've tired a couple of reports with the same behaviour. Can we not use URL filters on app workspace reports? 

Can anyone replicate and confirm it's not just me?

Hi, does anyone know of an update to this? 

I am trying with the following encoding for the end part of the url.  It is working in the browser, but now when it is opened in the Power BI iPad app.

ReportSection?filter=MyTable%252FMyColumn%20eq%20%27MyRow1%27

Thanks,

Chris

I think it should be reminded if you are doin this with an app you should include the ctid.

Extract from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-url-filters

Reports in apps

If you want to add a URL filter to a report in an app, the formatting is a little different. Links to reports in an app have a query parameter (ctid) that gets added to the URL. Query parameters need to be separated by an ampersand (&). So you need to append the query with “&filter=” (after the ctid parameter) instead of “?filter=”.

Like this example:

app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps/app-id/reports/report-id/ReportSection?ctid=ctid&filter=Table/Field eq 'value'

Hope this helps people 🙂
