Page Level Filters in PowerBi Desktop

Hi Everyone,

 

A quick Question:

Can we have the option to choose specific visuals to apply  page level filters in power bi desktop.

 

For Example:

I have total 12 visuals on power bi desktop report. out of 12 i want to use a spicific date filter for 8 visuals and another filter for the rest of 4 visuals using PAGE LEVEL FILTER option because if i use visual level filter that will be a big job specially in case of a daily report refresh.

 

Thanks in advance to provide an easy way out. amitchandak

    Hi vat2do 
    For specific visuals you have to choose visual filter. 
    Page level filter- Applies to complete page irrespective of visual level filter.
    It follows below sequence   (Auto apply)
    Report level filter - Filter (Year(2023)
    Page level filter - Filter (Year(2023) - Month( Jan , feb, march etc)
    Visual level filter -Filter (Year(2023) - Month( Jan , feb, march etc)- Week (1,2,3 etc)

    For your scenario you have to go for different visual filter option.

    I hope I answered your question please give kudos and accept it as a solution!
    Thanks

  • Hi vat2do ,

     

    There is no page level filter that will filter just specific visuals in  a page. If you want to apply a filter to a specific visual only then you need to use visual level filters  or write a formula so the filter becomes dynamic with the dataset refresh. For example, if you need to include the dates from yesterday up to six days prior, you can  create a calc column with

    =
    'table'[date]
        >= TODAY () - 7
    

    This calc colum will return TRUE or FALSE. You only need to set the visual level filter to TRUE once and not every time you refresh your dataset.

    yes you can't limit some visuals by the page level visual, but what you can do is add a slicer to the page and use edit interactions to set that some slicers would filter some visuals and block the filtering on others.
