Filter on Data or Power Query or DAX

[Anonymous]

I want to filter a characteristic value. 

I'm not sure which side should I filter them. 

I thought if I make it on Power Query, it will extend the refresh time.

Actually I don't know about data side. Does it affect the performance ?

Creating measure with DAX ?

I want to find out your preferences. In which cases do you use which one ?

(* I mean that the icon was shown  on left bar, which named as 'Data')

Hi @Anonymous ,

It depends on your need. You want filter affect the data, visual or formula? If you want filter the data that you don't need, Power Query will be a good choice.

Best Regards,

@Anonymous , if you do not need that value for analysis then filter that in power query. Or even create a new column with filtered value.

If you need it for analysis filter in Dax/measure
