What you'll learn

Have you ever wanted to provide a simple, self-service way for data consumers to query your data? What if they could just type a question or even just speak their question and have a useful chart or report 'magically' appear with the answer? In this course, Effective Quick Insights and Q&A in Power BI, you will gain the ability to optimize your Power BI datasets so that they will work seamlessly with the powerful Q&A and Quick Insights features. First, you will learn what these features are capable of doing when applied to a 'tidy and polished' dataset. Next, you will discover how to optimize your datasets so they will support these features. Finally, you will explore how to extend the Q&A feature to work with data stored not in the cloud, but inside your own on-premises data center. When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of data modeling needed to supercharge your Power BI datasets using both Q&A and Quick Insights.
