Demystifying Power BI Slicers and filters
summary
Claim: slicer is a visual and filter is a functionality — slicers render as categorical, date or hierarchical visuals with formatting, relative-date sliders, sync groups and user-changeable sort, while filters live in the filter pane as manual (visual/page/report) or automatic filters, plus include/exclude, drilldown, drillthrough, URL and Q&A pass-through filters. DAX generated is broadly the same so performance rarely differs now; use slicers for layout, multi-field or synced-page interactions and richer formatting, use filter pane to save space, enforce top-N or hide model fixes from end users.
