Types of Power BI Filters


Power BI has four different kinds of filters allowing you to apply filters on four
different levels.
 Visual-level Filters: The filter used to apply to the individual visual in
the report or dashboard. include sub-filter modes Basic filters,
Advanced filters, Top-N filters. The visual filters can sort the data in
visuals like tables, cards, charts, etc.
 Page-level Filters: The filters used to apply all visuals on the current
page. includes sub-filter modes like Basic filters, Advanced filters, Top-
N
 Drill-through Filters: The filters used to drill down and navigate
through different pages or regions in the dashboard. The main aim of
the drill-through filter is to provide a relationship between two pages of
a report.
 Report-level Filters: The filters used to apply all visuals on all pages
of the dashboard. These filters are also called filters on all pages. The
main aim is to control all page visuals inside the dashboard.

The measure difference between the slicer and filter is that filters can
update the data fields in your entire selection whereas the slicer can update
only one visual.
