Power BI Q&A - Now you can search on your own data!!!
We are excited to announce that any Power BI customer can now preview Q&A with their own data! In August we launched Q&A over a set of samples workbooks. Since then we've evaluated over 500,000 requests with the Q&A natural language engine.
>>> This is a BIG UPDATE! Please help us blog and tweet this update to your community followers!
From your feedback, it’s clear that Q&A can fundamentally change how and when data is used: From meeting rooms to casual conversations, you have been impressed with the promise Q&A brings to making decisions faster with data. Since that release, the resounding ask has been to explore your own data with Q&A’s natural language capabilities. We've also known that our next update to Q&A would be targeted at enabling usage over custom data. With that in mind, we've been working with a set of customers, both internal and external, on using Q&A against custom data models. The feedback from that group has been positive: They've found success in using Q&A with their data and find it simple and powerful for identifying and visualizing insights in their data.
Adding your models to Q&A is easy. First you need to upload your workbook to your Power BI Site by clicking on the add link and selecting “Upload file”:
