Types of Filters in Power BI 

The four types of filters are:

• Report – Applies to all pages in the report.

• Page – Applies to all the visuals on the current report page.

• Visual – Applies to a single visual on a report page. You only see visual level filters if you have selected a visual on the report canvas.

• Drillthrough – Allows you to explore successively more detailed views within a single visual.

In Power BI Desktop, you'll begin to build reports in the Report view. You'll be working in five main areas:

1. Ribbon - Displays common tasks that are associated with reports and visualizations.
2. Report view, or canvas - Where visualizations are created and arranged. You can switch between Report, Data, and Model views by selecting the icons in the left column.
3. Pages tab - Located along the bottom of the page, this area is where you would select or add a report page.
4. Visualizations pane - Where you can change visualizations, customize colors or axes, apply filters, drag fields, and more.
5. Fields pane - Where query elements and filters can be dragged onto the Report view or dragged to the Filters area of the Visualizations pane.
