There are many different ways to filter data in Power BI. This article explains how to use the Filters pane. You can also filter by selecting data points on a report visual to filter the other visuals on the page -- this is referred to as cross-filtering and cross-highlighting and is not explained here.

  • Filters on this visual - filter only affects the single visualization to which it is related
  • Filters on this page - filter affects all of the visualizations on the report page
  • Filters on all pages - filter affects the entire report

Some of the filters are shaded, and some are not. If a filter is shaded, that means a filter has been applied and some data is being excluded.
