Why are filters needed in a dashboard?

Filters are a key part of any dashboard and report. They help provide answers in an organized and structured way, by enabling users to apply a set of values and narrow the results. Filters are necessary to increase user interactivity with their data outside of surface-level, 'at-a-glance' analysis.

Where should filters be placed on a dashboard?

A global filter will be best placed at the top of the dashboard, to clearly indicate the global functionality. If the filter is for an individual chart, you'll need to consider placement of the filter close to the chart and use proper labeling, so functionality is obvious.
