Filtering in custom visual

[lucamoz]

Hello everyone,

I'm creating a custom visual and I have a question: is there a way to know what filters are applied to my visual? For example, if the data I'm visualizing is filtered from date A to date B, am I able to know that in someway? I tried console.logging the options object to see if there was anything in there, but it doesn't seem to be. Is this possible in PowerBI?

Thank you in advance

Best regards,

Luca

Hi @lucamoz 

1.You can define a filter in "visualSettings", then pass the the selection  into the code as a parameter.

You can refer to the following video (Jump to the 31:48 section of the video).

Microsoft Power BI: How to build a custom visual for Power BI - BRK3020 - Bing video

2.You can use getSelectedPoints() function, you can refer to the following link.

Thank you very much for you answer! Sorry for not specifying this before but I need to know what page level and report level filters are applied to my visual. Will your solution work? 🙂
