In both Power BI Desktop and Excel Power View, filtering allows users to focus on

specific subsets of data, providing a more targeted analysis. However, the methods
and interfaces for applying filters differ between the two tools.

Power BI Desktop:
***************
Filters in Power BI Desktop are quite versatile and can be applied in various ways:

Visual-Level Filters: These filters are applied directly within individual

visualizations. You can click on a data point within a visualization and apply
filters based on that selection, or use the filter pane to add specific criteria
that apply only to that visual.

Page-Level Filters: Filters applied at the page level impact all visualizations on
that page. These can be set using the filters pane or slicers that allow users to
interactively filter data across multiple visuals.

Report-Level Filters: Applied at the report level, these filters affect all pages
and visuals within the report. They're set within the filters pane and can apply
global criteria to the entire report.

Cross-Filtering: Power BI allows for cross-filtering, where selections made in one

visualization dynamically filter data displayed in other visualizations on the same
report page.

Excel Power View:

***************
Power View in Excel offers a more basic set of filtering options:

Slicers: Similar to Power BI, Power View in Excel uses slicers for filtering data.
Slicers are interactive visual controls that allow users to filter data across
multiple visualizations within the Power View report.

Individual Visualization Filters: Each visualization in Power View can have its own
individual filter settings, where you can apply filters specific to that visual
only.

Basic Filter Pane: Unlike Power BI Desktop, Excel Power View doesn't have a
dedicated filter pane. Instead, it relies on filters applied directly within the
slicers or individual visualizations.

Limited Interaction: The level of interaction between visualizations in Power View

might be more limited compared to Power BI Desktop. There might be less dynamic
filtering between different visualizations.

Summary:
*********
Power BI Desktop offers more robust and flexible filtering options compared to
Excel Power View. Power BI's ability to work with larger datasets, its more
extensive array of visualization types, and the enhanced filtering capabilities
make it a more powerful tool for complex data analysis and visualization.
