How to display all current filters

[WillBeeSEA]

I can think of at least EIGHT different ways to filter data in a Power BI Desktop report, and I would not be at all surprised if there are others:

--filter pane: a specific visual

--filter pane: all visuals on a page

--filter pane: all visuals across the entire report file

--Slicers

--DAX expressions (e.g., FILTER(), ALL(), ALLFILTER(), ALLEXCEPT(), etc.)

--Visual interaction (this may not apply to my question)

--Query Folding (also may not apply)

--Drill Through page (may not apply)

MY QUESTION is whether there is a way in viewing a report to see in one place all the different filters that are affecting a visual?

I am thinking of the Style Inspector in Word, where you can see any formatting that is being used on any selected text in a document. (Styles, bolding, underlines, etc., custom formatting).  It would make some sense to reside in the More Options ellipsis on the upper right corner of a visual.

Or perhaps there is a way for Power BI to just display it on a page?  Or anywhere.

Hi, @WillBeeSEA 

When you hover over a visual, a filter icon appears. Clicking this icon will bring up a pop-up window with all the filters and slicers that affect that visual. You can check the following link:

The Filters pane on the right side of the interface shows the filters that are applied at different levels (visuals, pages, reports). You can expand each section to see the specific filters applied. Here is the link:

Are you already familiar with the pop-up filter list annouced here? I find it super useful.
