Why choose Inforiver Super Filter – The All-in-One Free Filter / Slicer for Power BI

Why Choose an All-in-One Filter in the First Place?

Today, there are over 39 custom visuals in AppSource serving filtering and calendar view needs, in addition to Microsoft’s native and preview filters. Each visual addresses specific use cases, but none cover the breadth of filtering possibilities that Super Filter does. The goal is to use one filter visual across all use cases, delivering multiple benefits:

1. Reduced File Size

Every custom visual imported into a Power BI (.pbix) file increases its size. As datasets grow, reports need to be both feature-rich and optimized for performance. Having multiple visuals adds unnecessary weight, whereas Super Filter is designed to be lightweight while offering extensive functionality.

2. Improved Performance

Performance is critical in Power BI reports. More visual tiles mean more queries, leading to performance bottlenecks. Super Filter’s facet mode helps reduce the number of visual tiles on a report, improving responsiveness and efficiency.

3. Free of Pricing and Licensing Restrictions

Managing licenses for multiple visuals is an additional hassle. Super Filter is completely free, eliminating the need for ongoing licensing costs while still providing enterprise-level capabilities.

4. Saves Time for Report Developers

Report developers often spend time exploring different visuals, configurations, and customizations. With Super Filter, all filtering needs are addressed in a single, powerful visual—saving time and effort.

5. Eliminates Repeated Training for Report Users

Different visuals have different interaction methods, requiring end-users to relearn functionality whenever a new visual is introduced. Super Filter provides a unified filtering experience, eliminating the need for frequent retraining.

6. Unified UX Across Filters/Slicers

Using multiple visuals can lead to inconsistent UI/UX, impacting user experience. Super Filter ensures a consistent and seamless UI, making it easier to navigate and interact with filters.

Why Choose Super Filter?

Typically, Power BI users start with the native filter/slicer. When limitations arise, they turn to AppSource visuals. However, each visual today caters to a specific use case—whether it’s date-based filtering, text-based filtering, or hierarchical filtering. Super Filter is the first visual to combine all of these capabilities into one powerful tool. Here are 5 reasons that make Super Filter a commendable choice:

1. Expands Filtering Possibilities Beyond Conventional Methods
   Super Filter isn’t just an all-in-one filter—it introduces entirely new ways to filter data, not found in any other Power BI slicer:
   🔹Alphanumeric Filtering: Filter data containing both text and numbers, such as product codes and customer ID.
   🔹Treemap Filtering: A first-of-its-kind hierarchical treemap filter that allows users to filter directly from a treemap visual, providing intuitive drill-down selection. This feature will be available in Super Filter version 4.5 and higher.
   🔹Facet Filter / Filter Panel: Consolidate multi-dimensional filtering into a single tile, reducing report clutter and eliminating the need for multiple bookmarks.
   
2. Say Goodbye to Visual Overload - Super Filter eliminates the need for multiple custom visuals for different filtering needs, ensuring a cleaner, more efficient report design.
   
3. Simplifies Reporting for Developers - Report developers often rely on DAX workarounds, bookmarks, or model adjustments to meet filtering requirements. Super Filter simplifies report building with features like dynamic date filtering, filter presets, popup mode, and more.
   
4. Enhances End-User Experience - End users benefit from intuitive and powerful filtering with features like:
   🔹Calendar Date Picker for effortless date selection
   🔹Predefined Filter Selections for quick filtering actions
   🔹Calendar Heatmap and Conditional Formatting - Create visually insightful filters that provide additional context for filtering
