Visuals with heavy local filter state

"Visuals with heavy local filter state" is one of the performance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. Individual visuals carry many local filters. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Move business filters into measures or the model, keep visual-level filters for presentation only, and document the ones that stay.

What is detected

Individual visuals carry many local filters. The logic is invisible to the reader, differs from visual to visual, and cannot be audited from the model.

Why it matters

Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.

How to fix it

Move business filters into measures or the model, keep visual-level filters for presentation only, and document the ones that stay.
