What are auto filters in Power BI related to?

Auto filters in Power BI refer to filters that are automatically added to the visual level of the filter pane based on the context of the data visualizations being created. When you create visualizations in Power BI, the platform analyzes the data and applies these filters to ensure that the visuals display relevant and accurate information according to the interactions and selections made by users.

This functionality enhances the interactivity of reports and dashboards, allowing for a more dynamic experience where users can drill down or slice the data without needing to manually create or adjust filters each time. With auto filters, changes made in one visual can automatically adjust the data seen in others, showcasing the relationships within the data seamlessly.

Other options are related but do not capture the specific nature of auto filters. Filters applied manually to the report involve direct user input, while static data filters require ongoing user management. External data source filters might operate in real-time but do not pertain specifically to visual-level interactions within Power BI. The focus of auto filters is on enhancing the user experience by automating how data is filtered in relation to visualizations.
