In addition to filters, you may also highlight information. This will not remove unrelated information but will focus on a specific set of data, and dim other 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 filter using fields labeled "Marketing" and "2016," then you will see all Portal Growth and activity from the Marketing team during the year 2016.

Ask Your Data Questions

Additionally, you can ask your data questions using plain language search terms. Power BI integrates robust search features that allow you to ask natural language questions that it will interpret and use to actively filter and sort your data. Upon entering any text in the Question field at the top of your report, Power BI will immediately begin offering common suggestions. You may either select a sample question, or continue typing to complete your question phrase. If a dedicated widget does not already exist for the metric you are searching for, Power BI will automatically create a new report widget based on your question terms.
