Answer:
There are two ways to access the Q&A feature in Power BI Desktop, depending on whether you're working with a report or creating a new one:
1. In an existing report:
Open the report in Power BI Desktop.
In the top toolbar, locate the Q&A icon (it resembles a magnifying glass with a question mark).
Clicking this icon will open the Q&A pane on the right side of your screen.
In the Q&A pane, type your question about the data in the report, and Power BI will attempt to answer it using the underlying model and visualizations.
2. When creating a new report:
While creating a new report, drag and drop the Q&A visual from the visualization pane onto your report canvas.
This will add a dedicated Q&A element to your report.
You can interact with this visual by typing your questions directly within the Q&A box.
Additional notes:
To enable Q&A for your report, ensure the semantic model is turned on for Q&A in the settings. You can access this by going to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview features and enabling the Q&A toggle.
The Q&A feature in Power BI Desktop is currently in preview mode, and its functionality might be subject to change in future updates.
By following these steps, you can leverage the Q&A feature in Power BI Desktop to explore your data and gain insights through natural language queries.
