What strategies do you use to fix issues with report filters that don’t apply correctly across all visuals?

In my Power BI report, I’m encountering an issue where filters don’t apply consistently across all visuals. Certain visuals ignore specific filters or slicers, leading to mismatched data displays. I’ve checked my filter settings but can’t pinpoint the issue. What strategies should I use to troubleshoot and ensure filters are universally applied? Any guidance on fixing selective filter application would be appreciated!

If you need to resolve issues with filters not applying such issues to all visuals in Power BI, then you can try these steps below:

Check Filter Scope Settings: In Power BI, Filters may be report-level, page-level, or visual-level filters. If a filter is not applied everywhere, it may be because it has been set at one of the levels. For instance, page-level filters affect filters on that specific page only; on the other hand, report-level filters affect all pages within the report. Assure that the filters have the right scope and make the relevant changes.

Inspect Edit Interactions: Each visual in Power BI has a setting called Edit Interactions, which affects how it combines with other visuals and engages filters on the page. Then select the affected slicer or visual and the Format tab and click Edit Interactions. Also, ensure that these visuals are in a state of “filter” and not none/highlight. This ensures that all the visuals will adhere to the filter or slicer.

Analyze Visual Filter at a Level: Additional filtering may take place within the parameters set for some visuals, effects that may counteract the general filters that you have set. Open the filter pane of each visual and make sure that no strange filters are present. The same is true for checking whether there are cross-filter directions set in the model. For instance, filters in both directions may sometimes lead to unwarranted filter application, so make sure the relatives are defined appropriately in relation to the data needs.

Taking these steps one at a time helps, in most instances, to view and fix problems by using filters in Power BI as necessary or selective as they tend to be.
