What effect do slicers have on other visuals in Power BI reports?

Slicers are powerful tools in Power BI that enable users to filter data dynamically within reports. When a user makes a selection in a slicer, it directly filters the data displayed in other visuals on the report page. This interactive functionality enhances data exploration, allowing users to focus on specific subsets of data without needing to set up complex filters manually. As a result, slicers significantly improve user engagement and insight generation by enabling a more tailored view of the data in response to the user's choices.

Using slicers efficiently can help create a more intuitive user experience, as users can quickly navigate through large datasets and find relevant information. They do not create new visualizations or change the layout of existing visuals; instead, they serve as a mechanism to filter existing visuals based on selected criteria. Slicers also do not combine multiple datasets, which is a function managed through relationships and data modeling in Power BI.
