Also, as a report author, the Q&A visual can help you to get a better understanding of the need for information by reviewing the questions asked. Since the visual is not hidden behind a button anymore, it is better discoverable and more user friendly to interact with the dataset from an end-user perspective. In this case, the Q&A visual can be very useful! Report consumers can interact with the dataset without doing any technical complex stuff and get their questions answered based upon the dataset. Working with big groups of report consumers, you simply can’t speak to every single person to get their requirements clear and for sure not cover every single need for information in your report. Natural Language Query functionality, which is covered in the Q&A visual, is a powerful way of interacting with your dataset. Especially working with end-users from different background in different countries.īack in September 2019, I wrote a blog about let your end-users ask questions to their data, as part of my Storytelling with Power BI blog series. I’m a huge fan of this feature, but it is sometimes a bit challenging to implement.

Natural language query was probably the most unused feature in Power BI, until they introduced the new Q&A visual in the end of 2019.
