Power BI | filters on a dashboard with starbucks

When designing a Power BI dashboard / report the use and placing of the filters can be a bit of a dilemma. Place the filters to the left, right, hide the filters …..

I read a post of Natalia Kiseleva in which she explained it in a very nice way, with some nice sketches.

So how does that look on a real Power BI dashboard?

I decided to create a Power BI dashboard with those examples to have a look at it. In the dashboard I used fake data & text, used the Zebra BI visuals and gave it all a Starbucks design.

A few options for the filters are:

1 | To the left
2 | To the right
3 | On top
4 | Mini filters
5 | Hidden filters
6 | No filters at all (interaction of the visuals)

Attached screenshots of the dashboard.

How do you use filters and where do you place the filters on the dashboard?
