For Power BI f version 2.76.5678.782 (December 2019).<\/em><\/p>\n

Q&A is one of the most powerful features of Power BI. It enables us to ask questions in simple Natural Query Language<\/strong>. We can simply browse and visualize data. We can plot measures in different time periods, turn them into visualizations and add them to reports.<\/p>\n

Where can we use Q&A<\/h1>\n

Q&A is part of visualizations in Power BI desktop. After we add it to a report we see some of the most commonly asked questions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We can use Q&A in Dashboards in Power BI Service<\/strong>, even if we didn’t add it to a report.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Show data: show me<\/h1>\n

Q&A currently only works in English in Spanish. When asking questions we use few basic keywords. We display data using show me<\/strong>, for example show me sales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sort data: by<\/h1>\n

We usually want to see our data in monthly or yearly timeline. We use by<\/strong>, for example show me sales by month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Filter data: where<\/h1>\n

We filter data with where<\/strong>, in, equal to, =, after, is more than, in, between, before, within. <\/strong>For example, for sales in 2019 we use show me sales by month where year = 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Visualize: on map, on line chart, on column chart, on bar chart<\/h1>\n

For charts we use keywords like on map, on line chart<\/strong>, on column chart<\/strong>, on bar chart<\/strong>. For example, for displaying the last question on map we use show me sales by month where year = 2019 on map.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For time series we use line chart<\/strong> or column chart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For categorical data we use bar chart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Aggregate<\/h1>\n

We aggregate data by: total<\/strong>, sum<\/strong>, amount<\/strong>, number<\/strong>, quantity<\/strong>, count<\/strong>, average<\/strong>, most<\/strong>, least<\/strong>, fewest<\/strong>, largest<\/strong>, smallest<\/strong>, highest<\/strong>, biggest<\/strong>, maximum<\/strong>, max<\/strong>, greatest<\/strong>, lowest<\/strong>, littlest<\/strong>, minimum<\/strong>, min<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Top n<\/h1>\n

Using top 10<\/strong> we display upper 10 values. For 10 best sold products we use top 10 product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Names and synonyms<\/h1>\n

Q&A displays underline under certain words. Blue underline shows the name appears in data model. Double red underline shows the name does not appear in the data model.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We can add synonyms to names in the data model and the use synonyms in Q&A. We add synonyms by selecting Model view, field name and field Synonyms<\/strong>. We type in selected synonym, for example name of the month in another language.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We can now use the synonym in Q&A and get the same correct answer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Creating visualization from Q&A<\/h1>\n

We can turn Q&A answers into visualizations. After asking the question we select the icon next to entry bar. This way we can quickly find and visualize all the relevant data.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Similarly we can add Q&A answers to Dashboards by selecting Pin visual. This way we don’t turn the answer into visual, it remains a Q&A element.<\/p>\n
