Have Filters Applied Only to Specific Visualizations
I have a filter on a BI sheet that filters all visualizations within that sheet. However, I want one of those visualizations to be excluded from that filter as it does not make sense to have that filter applied to this one visualization from a contextual point of view. How may I reflect such a custom filter need?
Two options I can think of:
- Apply the filter not at the page level but only on the visuals that need it.
- Make the filter into a slicer and use Format > Edit interactions to disable filtering specific visual(s).
For the latter, you can hide the slicer if you wish using the selection pane.

Anonymous if you have page level filter you cannot exclude a visual, only option is to apply visual level filter and not to apply on the one which you want to exclude:

AlexisOlson or create a measure that is pre-filtered and use this new measure into the visuals you want to filter, and in this case, you don't have to worry about filters/slicers/edit interactions, etc. There are tons of options, pick the one that works best for your scenario.
