Model Driven App - PowerBI - JSON Filter String

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Infiltrate-Dave 5

Hi All,

I have embedded a PowerBI report onto a form and trying to get it to filter based on the record that is open in the form. I have managed to get the report in the form using the PowerBI control but unable to get it to filter using the static JSON string. I have used the following string:

[{\"$schema\":\"basic\",\"target\":{\"table\":\"tableschemaname\",\"column\":\"column\"},\"operator\":\"In\",\"values\":[$a],\"filterType\":1}]", "Alias": {"$a": "column"}}

The column being used is the record GUID.

Is this the correct way to do it or is my filter in the incorrect format?

Any help would be appreciated.

Dave

    Hi Dave,

    Refer to the following json to check your format:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/model-driven-apps/embed-powerbi-report-in-system-form#embed-with-contextual-filtering 

    Also, checking the following two points:

    1)Table and column need to exactly match the names in Power BI.

    2)The filter alias is the unique name from Dynamics 365 that you filter on.

    In the following example:

    <PowerBIFilter>

    {"Filter":  "[{\"$schema\":\"basic\",\"target\":{\"table\":\"Accounts\",\"column\":\"accountid\"},

    \"operator\":\"In\",\"values\":[$a],\"filterType\":1}]",

    "Alias": {"$a": "accountid"}}

    </PowerBIFilter>

    Power BI has a table called “Accounts”, and a column called “accountid”

    The filter alias is the “accountid” field in Dynamics 365 from the account record that we are on.
