Currently you can set a filter that applies to an individual chart, or at a page/view level. You should also be able to make a filter apply across all the pages/views in a report.

As stated by the first two commenters - the filters seem to disapear.

'@will thompson. When ever I leave the report and come back these filter options have reset. Is this intended?

Nice! However, is it possible to connect a slicer to a global report filter? E.g. you select a particular item on the first page in a slicer and see more details on the second page. I'm looking to some interactivity from an analytical perspective.

That is really good news. Is this available only in Power BI Online and not in Power BI Desktop though? Do they follow separate release cycles? I thought all features in the online version are replicated in the Desktop version as well in parallel. Isn't that the case?

I see this as a requirement not a feature and should be there.

This feature would also enable to split a report with the same filter to more pages to provide an better view for users with lower screen resolution

Agree 100% - this will prevent a lot of confusion on our end and in my opinion is necessary.

Yes. Totally agree as well, this is painful to replicate the same filter on every pages of our reports.
This is even worst if you need to ask viewer to modify those filters on every pages if they need to focus on another area than the initial fiter.

This would be ideal, and a great selling point for the execs!
