Interactive Data Selection

Abstract

In Chapter 3 we saw how to define filters both for Power View reports and for specific visualizations in a report. Filtering data in this way is extremely powerful and is perfectly suited to tweaking your analysis and trying out differing scenarios. However, altering filter elements is not really suitable for the interactive presentations to which Power View lends itself so ideally. When facing your audience you need to be able to deliver your insights in a single click. It probably comes as no surprise to discover that making dynamic selections in a report is part of the DNA of Power View. Learning these approaches is the subject of this chapter.
