Let users choose their report filters with "Subscribe" function?

[webportal]

Hello,

Is it possible to use the "subscribe" functionality of Power BI Service for a report letting users choose their filters and not mine (the report creator)?

It seems that, by default, the snapshot sent by email and the slicers applied are the ones I chose when creating the report in Power BI Desktop, which are irrelevant for the users.

Thanks for helping!

Hi @webportal ,

Based on this document, Email subscriptions are sent with the report's default filter and slicer states. Any changes to the defaults that you make after subscribing don't show up in the email. Paginated Reports do support this capability and allow you to set the specific parameter values per subscription. 

We also not found other effective solution to meet your requirement ,perhaps you can use paginated reports or submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

Best regards,

Thanks, I've upvoted the idea.

Hi there

What I think you would need to do, is the users would have to open the reports themselves, then apply the filters.

Once that is done they can then subscribe themselves to the report which possibly should then send it with their filters applied?
