Filters in Power BI Visualization:

There are four types of filters.

 Visual filter applies to a single visual on a report page. You only see visual level filters if you've
selected a visual on the report canvas.
 page filter applies to all the visuals on the report page
 report filter applies to all pages in the report
 drillthrough filter applies to a single entity in a report

You can search in page, visual, and report filters, in Reading or Editing view, to find and select the
value you want.

If the filter has the word All next to it, that means all the values in the field are included in the filter.
For example, Chain(All) in the screenshot below means this report page includes data about all the
store chains. On the other hand, the report-level filter FiscalYear is 2013 or 2014 tells us that the
report only includes data for the fiscal years of 2013 and 2014.
Filters in Reading or Editing view

There are two modes for interacting with reports: Reading view and Editing view. The filtering
capabilities available to you depend on which mode you're in.

 In Editing view, you can add report, page, drillthrough, and visual filters. When you save the
report, the filters are saved with the report, even if you open it in a mobile app. People
looking at the report in Reading view can interact with the filters you added, but can't add
new filters.
 In Reading view, you can interact with any filters that already exist in the report, and save the
selections you make. You can't add new filters.

Filters in Reading view

If you only have access to a report in Reading view, the Filters pane looks similar to this:

So this page of the report has six page-level filters and one report-level filter.

Each visual can have filters for all the fields in the visual, and a report author may add more. In the
image below, the bubble chart has six filters.
In Reading view, explore the data by modifying the existing filters. The changes you make are saved
with the report, even if you open the report in a mobile app. Learn how when you take a tour of the
report Filters pane

When you exit the report, your filters are saved. To undo your filtering and return to the default
filtering, slicing, drill, and sorting set by the report author, select Reset to default from the top
menubar.

Filters in Editing view

When you have owner permissions for a report and open it in Editing view, you see that Filters is just
one of several editing panes available.
As in Reading view, we see this page of the report has six page-level filters and one report-level
filter. And by selecting the bubble chart, we'd see it has six visual level filters applied.
We can do more with filters and highlighting in Editing view. Mainly, we can add new filters. Learn
how to Add a filter to a report and much more.

Ad hoc highlighting

Select a value or axis label in a visual to highlight the other visuals on the page. To remove the
highlighting, select the value again, or select any empty space in the same visual. Highlighting is a fun
way to quickly explore data impacts. To fine-tune how this type of cross-highlighting works,
see Visual interactions.
