What is cross-filtering in Power BI visuals?

< 1 min read

Cross-filtering in Power BI allows one visual to filter other visuals on the same report page.
When a user selects a data point in one chart, related visuals update automatically.
This works based on relationships defined in the data model.
In one project, clicking a specific region in a bar chart filtered revenue, profit, and KPI cards instantly.
Cross-filtering enables interactive analysis without using slicers.
It helps users explore relationships between dimensions and metrics.
Proper relationships are required for accurate cross-filtering behavior.
