506: Mailbag! Filter Overload

from Explicit Measures Podcast · host PowerBI.Tips

In this mailbag episode, we tackle a common challenge in Power BI report design: filter overload. When 15-20 slicers consume a third of your report page, are you empowering users or overwhelming them? We discuss practical guidelines for slicer design, the difference between "set once" and "frequently changed" filters, strategies for moving your team toward more mature reporting practices, and whether there's ever a justifiable reason to exceed 2-3 slicers per page.
