You can leverage Power BI's Copilot feature to considerably lighten the burden of building dashboards and reports by automating much of the time-consuming work associated with them. Copilot incorporates AI capabilities for understanding user-friendly inputs in natural language and triggering the steps to prepare the data, visualize it, and design a report.
For instance, if you ask, "Create a sales dashboard showing total revenue by region and product category," Copilot will evaluate the dataset you uploaded and create bar charts, maps, or whatever other forms of visualizations are most appropriate to your specifications. You won't need to insert fields or drag charts and spend hours figuring out how to make the stuff look good, but rather focus on refining the insight. Copilot, in addition, can perform data modeling tasks, such as creating relationships between tables or adding calculated columns within them, according to your instructions.
An example of such a situation would involve the marketing team requiring a report on campaign performance. Instead of manually creating metrics for conversion rates, ROI, and similar metrics, ask Copilot to do these measures. It not only makes the formulas but also recommends the most fitting visuals and layouts, which saves many hours of manual work. Power BI Copilot is, therefore, ideal for advanced analysts wishing to speed up their workflows, and it is valuable for newcomers who want to generate high-quality reports without professional technical skills.
