Quick summary
Filter context in Power BI controls how measures are calculated by filtering data row by row and column by column within a visual. Understanding filter context helps analysts build accurate, dynamic reports where every visual automatically adjusts calculations based on its surrounding filters.
Steps
- Upload your data into the Power BI report to prepare it for analysis.
- Select a visual to apply filter context row by row and column by column across your report.
- Place the visual on a report page so the measure inside it automatically calculates within the correct filter context.
