Yes, you can integrate a LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Service) chatbot with Power BI. This requires some configuration involving Azure services and Power BI APIs. One way would be to let Power Automate or Azure Functions handle requests from the chatbot, map those requests to Power BI REST API calls, and return insights that would be useful to the user. Using Power BI dashboards embedded into a chatbot interface via Power BI Embedded would also be an option. For real-time interaction, use DirectQuery or Streaming Datasets to update reports based on chatbot input dynamically.
Creating Facet Plots (Small Multiples) in Power BI
Power BI supports small multiples that are out-of-the-box for certain visuals like bar charts and line charts, albeit with limited customization features. Should you require more control, you can use custom visuals such as:
Deneb — Vega-lite-based visual for advanced charting.
Charticulator — Design customized visuals, including facet plots.
R or Python visuals — Have ggplot2 (R) or Seaborn (Python) maximize flexibility for small multiples.
If you need dynamic interactivity, consider creating individual visuals with synchronized slicers as an alternative approach. Let me know if you would like to pursue this in detail!
