Quick summary
Adding a filter visual in Power BI lets you control exactly which data is displayed on a specific chart or table. Using the Filters pane, you can drag fields, set filtering criteria, and adjust multiple filters at any time without altering your underlying data.
Steps
- Open your Power BI report where you want to add filters.
- Click on the visual you want to apply filters to in order to select it.
- Locate the Filters pane on the right side of your screen.
- Drag the field you want to filter by from the Data pane into the appropriate filter section.
- Click the added field and select your filtering criteria, choosing between basic or advanced filtering options.
- Confirm the filter is applied to your visual — you can add multiple filters and adjust them anytime as your data exploration needs change.
