How do you enable cross-filtering between visuals in Power BI?

Enabling cross-filtering between visuals in Power BI involves configuring interactions between those visuals, which is precisely what is done in the "Format" pane. When you set up your report, you can control how visuals on a page interact with each other by adjusting these settings. For instance, selecting a data point in one visual can dynamically filter or highlight data in another visual, allowing for deeper analysis and exploration of relationships within the data.

This cross-filtering feature is particularly useful for creating a cohesive narrative in your reports, as it allows you to see the effects of selections in one visual on another quickly. By accessing the "Format" pane and adjusting the interactions, users can choose whether a visual should filter, highlight, or not interact with other visuals at all. This level of customization enhances the analytical capabilities of the dashboard, making it easier to draw insights from multiple data perspectives.

Other options, such as using slicers or applying filters to the dataset, can influence data displayed in visuals but do not provide the same interactive experience between the visuals themselves. Row-level security is focused on data access permissions rather than visual interactions. Hence, configuring interactions in the "Format" pane is the correct approach to enable cross-filtering effectively.
