Power BI has a bunch of convenient ways to filter data. And like the rest of the Power Platform, these tools can be used by you to perform your own analysis, or you can provide access to other people in your organization. We will refer to these people as consumers. The Filters pane is pretty slick. It gives you three scopes. If we want to filter just this visual, we can add the field to filter by, and then make our selection, and now our whole visual is filtered. We can also add Filters that affect all visuals on this page. Finally, we can add a filter that affects all the pages in this report. That means that after I've applied the filter and I select on these other pages, they will be filtered as well.

When you start using this filters pane, you may find that sometimes it can get a bit cluttered looking, so this nifty search box at the top helps you find exactly what you're looking for. There is also a feature that allows you to click on a chart element to drill down into segments of data in order to see more detail about that segment. You can continue to explore successive layers of detail as far down as your data goes. Now this Drill Down feature does require a bit of setup. Just click this button on the visual. This activates Drill Down mode. Now your consumers will be able to drill down by clicking on a topic of interest.
