Hyperlinks with a filter going from Excel to Power BI report
Hi, I'm new to this community
I'm using Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise with Excel version 2008
I have build a hyperlink from Excel to a Power BI report (PBI), which works.
=HYPERLINKS("PBI_URL&noSignUpCheck=1";"Test 1")
The problem starts when I'm trying to add a paramter (filter functionality)
=HYPERLINKS("PBI_URL?filter=TableName/FieldName eq 'OrganizationalNumber'&noSignUpCheck=1";"Test 2")
The URL takes me to Power BI, but it does not trigger the filter . If I copy the same link into the browser it works fine. It seems that the HYPERLINK formula in Excel does not exept filter funsctionality.
How can I build the hyperlink in Excel so that it takes me to a filtered Power Bi report?

My knowledge of Power BI is very limited.
But that doesn't stop me from sending you these links from Microsoft where you might find a way to go.

- alanandersen1963Copper ContributorThank you for your respons, but I do not think the problem is in Power BI. The problem is how to add the hyperlink with a functional filter in Excel. It seems like Excel is not able use the URL with a filter. Do I have to write a VBA code for it to work and do you have an example code I can use?
