Wrong syntax for String based filter parameters

[priestie]

We have used the plugin succesfully, to embed a report in Dynamics 365 CE using context based filtering.
We are filtering on [account].[accountnumber], and experience that the filter attributes is not correctly passed to Power BI, when the value consists of numbers only, despite the field being a String.

We have fixed this, but editing the customizations.xml directly afterwards:
Changing:
<PowerBIFilter>...,\"operator\":\"In\",\"values\":[$a],\"filterType\":1}]","Alias":{"$a":"accountnumber"}}</PowerBIFilter>
To:
<PowerBIFilter>...,\"operator\":\"In\",\"values\":[\"$a\"],\"filterType\":1}]","Alias":{"$a":"accountnumber"}}</PowerBIFilter>

It would be nice, it this is being done by he plugin. So that if filtering attribute datatype is String, the "values" placeholder will be qouted.

Thanks.

I think I can confirm this issue. I have a field as well that contains only numbers but is formatted as a string field and the filter does not work.

Any possibility to get this fixed directly in the Power BI Embedder?

If it cannot be automatically determined when the "" are needed, just a small toggle like "text field only includes numeric values" would be acceptable as well.

We have the same issue. A filter coloum on a string column which is sometimes only numbers. When the value is a mix of numbers and symbols, the filter works as expected.
