Filter Bar

Make your reports highly functional with a set of visual slicers that offer heatmap colouring

Filter Bar is a sleek and intuitive way to filter and display category data in your Power BI reports. Acting as unobtrusive "page furniture", Filter Bar gives users a clear visual representation of your data dimensions, with each row representing 100% of your dataset. The width of each rectangle corresponds to the relative size of each category, making it easier to compare values at a glance.

Unlike treemap visuals, Filter Bar ensures that rectangles remain full height, maintaining consistency for easier category comparison. Users can click on a category to filter or highlight other visuals dynamically, eliminating the need for separate slicers.
