Slicers
Slicers are visual filters that appear directly on a report page
as an interactive element. They allow users to select one or
more values from a list (like product names, categories, dates,
etc.) to filter data across visuals. Slicers make reports more
interactive, and offers user-driven filtering.

Types of Slicers
Vertical List: A dropdown list, allowing users to select one or
more values.
Tile: A grid of buttons or tiles, allowing users to select one or
more values.
Numeric/Date Range Sliders:
Between: Great for numeric ranges or dates. Lets users
specify minimum and maximum numbers or dates to filter by.
Greater/Less than or equal to: Useful for filtering a numeric
range, where it’s used to show values greater/less than or
equal to a certain number.
Before/After: Useful for filtering a range of dates (similar to the
‘greater/less than or equal to’ slicers).
Relative Date/Time Slicer: Useful for showing dynamic time periods,
such as "last 7 days" or "next hour," rather than static dates/times.
Hierarchy Slicer: Enables filtering by parent-child relationships
(e.g., Category –> Subcategory).

Single-Select: Select "Format Visual" from Visualizations
pane > Visual > Slicer settings > turn on the Single select.
Multi-Select: Enable multi-select by holding down the

Filters
Filters are tools used to narrow down the data displayed in
visuals, pages, or reports. They allow you to restrict data
based on specific criteria, such as a date range, category, or
geographic region.

Types of Filters
Visual-Level Filters: These filters apply to a single visual
element (e.g., chart, table) in your report. They restrict the
data shown in that specific visual. These filters are useful
when you want to show a filtered view without affecting the
rest of the report.

Page-Level Filters: These filters apply to all visuals on a single


report page. Any change in the page-level filter will reflect
across all visuals on that page.

Report-Level Filters: These filters apply to all visuals across


all report pages. It's useful when you want to apply a global
filter (e.g., restricting data to a specific time period across all
report pages).

It is the default Filter type
Ideal for filtering based on specific items, such
as product names, regions, or categories.

Advanced Filtering:
Allows you to set up conditional logic such as:
Equals / Does not equal, Contains / Does not
contain, Begins with / Ends with, Greater than
/ Less than (for numbers and dates)
Useful for more precise filtering, especially for
numeric and textual conditions.

Top N:
Used to rank and filter data based on
performance.
You can display:
Top 5 products by sales
