I have created a dashboard with aggregated numbers.For raw data I want to use an image with embedded URL to an SSRS report. My tableau dashboard has 8-9 filters. I want that when a filter is selected in the dashboard, same filters should apply to the SSRS report.I am able to open the report but unable to retain the filters.

I am currently using SQL Server 2019.
I read in earlier editions of SSRS that you were not able to embed external web links into a SSRS report, it this still the case?
I currently have 4 separate KPI screen URL's written by our Group IT department and I would like to have all 4 KPI's on one screen so I though I would embed these into one SSRS Report.
Thanks

Where did you read that? It's never been true. There's even a doc page on how to do it: Add a hyperlink to a URL in a paginated report (Report Builder)
How can i combine couple of rdl reports and display that to SSRS native web portal. I already created that report and deployed to the server (SSRS Native portal) using Sql Server data tool 2015. But my client wants to view all reports in the same window. Although all reports has the same parameter.enter image description here

The SSRS native web portal doesn't contain a mechanism to link multiple reports and run them on the save page via shared parameters (or anything even like that).
You have two options:
Create the merged report yourself. You should be able to import (or copy/paste) the datasets from each report into a new report, link them all one one set of parameter(s), and copy paste the content of each report (then fix all broken references).
The option above is the naive way to merge three reports into one. Instead, you could create a new master report, add the shared parameter and then add each additional report as a subreport to the parent report. Tutorial here.
Create an ASP.NET application that wraps the multiple reports into a single page. This will be quite a bit of work if you have never done this, but you would be able to create a custom parameter(s), pass the parameter(s) into the each report through code and render the multiple reports on a single page.
I would recommend option number 2.
I am new to SSRS reporting and I have a requirement described below:
I have Sales report created and each of the product has a link to go to another report which has product details. This works perfectly when deployed and viewed as html. But when the parent report is exported to pdf, the link to product does not work nor the link is highlighted.
Is there any configurations or setting to be done so I can view the product details from exported pdf report? Viewing the product details from the link can be using the browser. I just want to enable the html to next report on pdf.
It sounds like you are currently using a Go to report action to drillthrough to your product details report. If that's correct, drillthrough links are not supported in PDF rendering, however you can switch your action to Go to URL and build a hyperlink to the report on your report server. Your URL expression would then look something like the following:
="http://MyServer/ReportServer/?%2fMyFolder%2fProductDetailsReport&rs:Command=Render&MyParameter=" & Fields!ProductID.Value
Here are a couple links on building SSRS URLs:

i am using report builder to generate charts in sharepoint. I am using parameters to filter the data in the chart. When i view the report in the page viewer in the sharepoint site the filter is displaying in the right hand side of the page. Is there any option to change the filter to the top of the page??
Not with Report Builder. There isn't anything there to control the parameters display location. To do this, you'll need to use Report Designer.
I was asked this question yesterday and I didn't know the answer. I'm a total ssrs noob so if you could explain it thoroughly that would be helpful.
What is the difference between a click through and a drill through report in ssrs?
Clickthrough Reports
A clickthrough report is a report that displays related data from a report model when you click the interactive data contained within your model-based report. These reports are generated by the report server based on the information contained within the report model. The person who created the model determines which fields are interactive and which fields are returned when a clickthrough report is opened. These field settings cannot be changed in the report authoring tools.
Clickthrough reports are auto generated. However, you can create an alternative customized report to the model for interactive data items that is displayed instead. The custom report is a standard Reporting Services report.
Drillthrough Reports
Drillthrough reports are standard reports that are accessed through a hyperlink on a text box in the original report. Drillthrough reports work with a main report and are the target of a drillthrough action for a report item such as placeholder text or a chart. The main report displays summary information, for example in a matrix or chart. Actions defined in the matrix or chart provide drillthrough links to reports that display greater details based on the aggregate in the main report. Drillthrough reports can be filtered by parameters, but they do not have to be. Drillthrough reports differ from subreports in that the report does not display within the original report, but opens separately. They differ from clickthrough reports in that they are not auto generated from the data source, but are instead custom reports that are saved on the report server. They differ from drilldown reports in that they retrieve the report data only for the specified parameters or for the dataset query.
