TEST & SCORE: Your Blueprint for Success̥®

Power BI Copilot is an AI assistant integrated into Microsoft Fabric and Power BI that uses generative AI to help you design, build, and explore reports using natural language. Instead of building visual components or writing complex code manually, you can describe your data requirements to Copilot and let it handle the heavy lifting. [1, 2]

Core capabilities

  • Report generation: Automatically creates full report pages or adds individual visuals to existing canvases from basic text descriptions. [3, 4]
  • DAX query generation: Writes and explains Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) queries, and builds custom data measures on the fly. [2, 5]
  • Narrative summaries: Creates smart narrative visuals that instantly summarize trends, key takeaways, and visual metrics into text paragraphs. [1, 4]
  • Conversational data chat: Connects straight to semantic models, allowing business users to ask direct data questions and receive calculated insights. [6, 7]

Main entry points

  • Copilot pane: A panel built into the right side of Power BI Desktop or Service, scoped specifically to help you modify or analyze your open report. [6, 8]
  • Standalone Copilot: A full-screen experience available via the left navigation bar that can search and query across any semantic model or report you have access to. [6, 9]
  • App-scoped Copilot: Located in the navigation of published Power BI apps to summarize curated app dashboards and content. [6, 10]

Usage requirements

To use Copilot, your administrator must turn on the Fabric Copilot tenant settings. Your Power BI workspace must also be assigned to a paid Fabric capacity (F2 or higher) or a Power BI Premium capacity (P1 or higher). Premium Per User (PPU) and trial SKUs are not supported. [8, 11]

  • Are you looking to use Copilot to write DAX, build reports, or analyze data?
  • Do you need help with licensing requirements and admin setup?
