How to show filter on dashboard
justindoh , In a report(one that is created on desktop) you can add slicer from visualization)

You also have filter pane.
In the power bi service, you can create a dashbaord. In the dashboard, you can only have a slicer if you put the complete report on a dashbaord.
Yes and no, it depends on how many reports you would like to combine. Combining too many reports is not a good approach. you can also use Bookmarks and Drillthrough to navigate between pages inside one report. Check out my report here
Community ChampionHi justindoh
unlike reports in the service Dahsboards do not support filters, check out the difference
Thank you for your help.
So, it is better to put slicer/slicers into one report with other visuals rather than trying to combine multiple reports with slicer(s), correct?
I guess I am not sure the difference between Report and Dashboard is. All got mixed up.
I thought Dashboard is the final product with filters (like in Tableau), but it appears that Report is more user friendly (with slicers). Am I correct, or no?
