>> We've already shown you
how you can create
charts in Power BI
by dragging and dropping fields
from the Fields list.
But we know not everyone
has the time or the inclination
to do this work.
So we've added another way
you can quickly create
visuals based off your data
called Q&A.
So whenever
you're looking at a dashboard,
if you want to ask questions
about your data,
you can just click in this box,
and ask a question
about your data.
And when you're in here,
you'll see at first
there's some suggestions
of things you can ask,
such as, I can click Products
and I'll see a list of products.
And not only that,
it will also suggest
other questions I can ask,
such as, I can now see
products by manufacturer.
I can also click
on any of these items
that has a yellow underline
under it,
and change what I'm looking at.
So instead of products,
I want to see
sales by manufacturer.
The chart will update to show me
sales instead of products.
In Q&A, we always
try to show you the best visual
for the data you're looking at,
but if you want to
change it up just a little bit,
you can always go over here
and have the same Fields list
and Visualizations pane
that you have
if you're editing
the report itself.
You can also take these visuals
and you can pin them
to your dashboard
by clicking
the Pin Visuals button
on the top right.
When you do this, you'll have
the same options you would
as if you'd pin from a report.
You can choose to pin
to an existing dashboard,
and you can see your options
in the drop-down,
or you can choose
to pin to a new dashboard,
which you can name here.
So I'm just gonna pin
to my current dashboard.
And now I'm gonna go back
and keep asking questions.
So you can even ask
natural language questions
in Q&A as well.
So for example,
I can ask
"which product
has
the
highest revenue."
And it will show me
all the products
sorted by revenue
so I can see
which one is the highest.
In this case,
it's Maximus UM-01.
And still with here,
I can continue to dig in deeper
by switching to Manufacturers,
adding more clauses,
things like that.
Now I'm gonna go back
to my dashboard,
and I'll be able
to see at the bottom
that chart that I pinned,
and just like
any kind of report tile,
I can drag it along, resize it
and have all the different
formatting features
that I would normally have
for any tile on the dashboard.
So as you're seeing, Q&A
is a really quick and easy way
to get started building visuals
for your dashboard
without having to go
through all the work
of creating reports.
