Filter and Highlight Reports

Power BI contains several levels of filtering options.

  • Page Filters - Apply to all visual graphs and meters on the current page
  • Visual Filters - Apply to an individual visual data widget
  • Report Filters - Apply to all pages of a single report

Similarly, there are three types of filters that can be applied to different aspects of your data.

  • Text Fields - Apply to pre-defined fields such as campaigns, departments, usernames, etc
  • Numeric Fields - Apply to 
  • Date and Time - 

In addition to filters, you may also highlight information. This will not remove unrelated information but will focus on a specific set of data. While in Reading View, you may use multiple filters and highlights across your data sets. Selecting more than one filter will apply both filters to your data. For example, if you filter a Portal Growth report by department and time range, and choose "Marketing" and "2016," then you will see all Portal Growth and activity from the Marketing team during the year 2016.
