The DAX bits alone made my socks fly off. That diff view is genius
I believe all these nice things are available on Fabric only and on plans that cost over 5000 USD/month, isn't it?
Absolutely correct... and way out of range for almost all small-midsize organizations.
Amazing!! What a great demo, thanks Carly!
The diff functionality in DAX editor is really cool. Will help a lot with understanding new ways of doing things.
Amazing content! would love to see a more detailed look on how to use Copilot in creating reports and dashboards
Great demo!
Love this great progress - its exactly what we want to see
Thanks Carly that's a great demo
This is incredibly amazing.
Amazing demo!
She has a lot of energy and good vibes.
I would like to see what happens with Copilot when you have an ugly baby semantic model. Great demo but I assume that it requires an almost perfect model.
I'm not worried. Instead there will plenty of work to correct ugly babies models for this to work.
This would definitely be an interesting challenge. I would also be curious to challenge it with Optimising DAX.
Yes optimization is an important factor which everyone wants to see how it will get automated
My question exactly! A lot of my stakeholders are hesitant with real life business cases because this requires a model that is built precisely to be handled by Copilot
Would also be nice to see something other than sales for once.
Looks useful information, thanks
Ok this is amazing
wow es increible
It really Insane, Amazing!!
Carly was super cool🐞
I actually like to use Ableton more than Logic Pro because of you. Big cudos to you for this video right here
I have a question(from the perspective of a E-Vendor at Microsoft)!
When I used extensions to work on my measures of PBI before copilot came out, it wasn’t able to parse through some data cause those tables were protected by MSFT, but if I use copilot on the same, will it be able to process the protected data from sources like Dim_MarketingLead table, or the ONESMBAS Cube, etc.? And is it ethical to do so?
Q: is it possible to use Copilot chatbot within MS Teams. Idea is that We would like some key users ask insights without opening BI reports. Mostly executives. Thanks.
can it be used for data analysis? full analysis and output report creation?
Great video. Is this only available in PBI Premium? Not in Service?
Is that functionality already available to users in Europe?
how much of this is behind additional pay walls - beyond standard pro licence?
Waiting for copilot for devoloping also Paginated Reports ;)
when will this be available in a thin report connected to an enterprise model ?
"A copilot and a function walk into a var"! - Carly and Rein haha!
"Feel free to play around with it. This is in public preview now". Am I right I won't be able to play with it until I have one of paid SKUs: F64 or higher, or P1 or higher? Is there a free option for testing this feature?
by the looks of it , no
Great stuff! it's going to change how BI reports are authored and used.
Explain how?
Human developer creates a fact table and star schema.
Or multiple fact tables and a constellation schema.
AI doesn't do it any differently, it just puts it together in a worse way for people that can't do it themselves.
When will we get Copilot into powerbi desktop ? Is it with free version PBI app or not?
You made me smile, wait " I am a new person"
Q: When will msft open this to the $10 tier users so we can at least gauge the viability of this feature before plunking 5 grand per month. In a limited capacity, of course.
With the compute costs of it, I'm not holding my breath that it will be any time soon. Could be wrong, of course.
Q. Is description generator available for generating multiple measures description also for calculated columns?
Multiple measures are a great idea. Keep an eye out for it.
Where will it all be available in free version ?
This is amazing, Can we control/cap % of CPU consumption allowed by Copilot so that critical report performance are not affected?
It is mostly a different set of CPUs (GPUs) that will power Copilot. So your report performance will largely be unaffected.
How do we enable these features? What type of license is needed to avail all these features? Do we need a Premium Capacity license or Premium license? Do we need to get Copilot additional license by Microsoft which cost $30/month?
Exactly my questions.
So, yeah, anytime I want to use the "Copilot" function in my PBI service environment, it essentially tells me that I need to have a Premium Capacity license. Premium Per User licenses don't count. (Yet?)
Yeah this kind of information would be nice to have in the video...Pretty misleading that they said everyone in powerBI can use it.
@microsoft When can we get that in India
How do we get access to this feature?
Dont you need the licence type that costs like $3000 a month to get this at the moment??
Would like to know when the copilot narrative visual will be functional within a PBI Embedded SKU…
Not sure. Which embedding are you interested in? Embed for your customers, or for your org?
Great demo. Iam curious to know how the narrative visually actually summarise the page ( does it scrapes the data and visual on canvas) and how it provides citation like does it have the visual id refrence with it
Correct, we scrape the visual data that is already visible to the viewers of the report. We do not go to the data in the underlying semantic model, but perhaps we will in the future.
Also correct on the citations. We keep the data tagged with the visuals they came from, so that the responses can help the user to understand where the summary is coming from.
Pulling from the model would be challenging if using RLS though right? I wouldn’t want the risk of exposing insights from data the user shouldn’t have access to.
@@lemps81 100% if and when this is implemented it’ll respect RLS and OLS.
@@vivmaha amazing. Looking forward to getting going with it!
is it possible to use a specific theme for reports generated with copilot?
I’ve seen a demo where you ask copilot to “make it look like report X” and it changes the whole look and feel in seconds.
In order to use Copilot in PowerBI, do I have to get Fabric licences? It means I will need to pay around $300/ month to use Copilot, right?
Pretty sure you need a Fabric license and at least a F64 SKU (equivalent to a P1). So, it's pricey. However, you can turn it on in off in Fabric. So you could just turn it on for an hour here and there to play around with and then turn it back off. Wouldn't think that would be too pricey. But MAKE SURE that if you do this, you turn the Fabric capacity off when you're done playing around. Or you will not be happy at the end of the month.
Will it replace power bi jobs ,i mean High level management people will be able to create power bi report's?
(personal opinion) Copilot will help existing report creators. It'll remove the mundane. It'll provide inspiration. Just like calculators didn't get rid of accountants.
my workspace keeps saying workspace isnt compatible with copilot. Ive got it enabled in the tenant. What am I missing?
Did you ckeck ypu SKU? You need to be licensed for either F64 or P1. Will not work with the ftrr trial licsnse.
Can I use this Copilot in a PPU workspace capacity? it does not look like it.
No, you can't.
why the video resolution is so low? looks pretty blurry not for my old eyes ;)
How does the regular person get this in fabric? 10k a year?
It kicks in at F64 or P1 . A P1 is $5k per month.
@@stevefox7469cough cough!! So we start the age of the have and have nots in tech. At least we will really know how it works, I guess..
@@daustonian9331 Also a lot of busineses won't be able to use it due to data soverignity issues - if they aren't comfortable with copilot processing the data in the US or France. This is a show stopper for us. Also looks like it is a CPU hog- if you have 20 copilot users on a P1 - it consumes about 10% of the capacities CPU resources. Fine if you proactively manage your tenant, but most companies don't have this much background CU to spare.
In AUD this is 15,000 per month I hope they release a cheaper version soon!
Am I the only one who sees an added value for DAX part but not the rest?
I think, copilot should go more on Power Query side. It would add more value on that part, at least to my life as a developer. For now, I'm sticking with Chat GPT 4.
The resolution of the screen sharing is so bad. Please do something about it. Rest all seems fantastic.
So this is available in Premium?
No Fabric only
Include copilot for python notebooks and scripts.
Seems like a “overfitting” demo, let’s hope it works as shown.
Copilot can't write measures, also it can't help improve an existing report. It is for very basic reporting.
Impressive! :{>
2:15 "Beautiful DAX" ? ? ? ?
Great, users , i think now company dont need PBI developers, in future
So dramatic... YEEEES!!! 🤣
I guess No one would require a Power BI developer in future 😢
Pretty cool, but not premium capacity money cool.
so nobody is critical here. I tried the report create tool with copilot, its all basic stuff and nothing mind blowing what i expect from a AI. if you ask copilot to change a visual or a current page it cant. Also if you ask to create a page for example with only line graph visuals it creates a page but also with other type of visuals. So it doesnt feel like real AI or it is very basic. Also what microsoft never tells in this kind of video's are the costs on the capacity. Glady copilot doesnt cost a lot but you have to use the online report create tool that one eats easily a P1/F64 capacity. If you work with more than 5 people at the same time longer than a hour it is on 100%. For now you dont miss a thing if you dont have premium capacity.
Exactly. Anyone who thinks this is amazing has genuinely never held an analytical role. I see datapoints suggested to be “insights” and yet, they’re nothing of the sort. It is the classic case of techies not having a clue as to the actual purpose of creating BI.
I assessed Copilot for our Board. For us, it would’ve been a £1m uplift on the monthly operating cost. I reached out to our account lead at MS and they couldn’t even articulate simple ROI scenarios. That is really basic for an investment and they couldn’t do it.
Anyone who knows MS - I’ve worked with them for over 20yrs - understands that they have a huge problem. All they’re currently doing is spitting out products with very undefined benefits, and it is really frustrating enterprise. They don’t like a “no” either; seem to think that they’ve gods gift and we will just buy any old rubbish.
This sort of stuff is the latest gimmick and you can rest assured, it’ll be something else in 6mths time.
Who would have thought so many people are interested in copilot.....
Why bother creating semantic model.. that should also be done by co pilot ... we should just give data and ask question .. very much like Thoughtspot
Thx guys.
Please Microsoft, provide good mic to all your employees. Their sound is terrible each time.
The price is more a joke
Nothing is on Public Preview unless you switch to a FABRIC Workspace or enable the 60 days Fabric Trail! Whats the point of showing all these fancy functionality to our users , and they fall in love with it , but do not have the budget to upgrade!?
I dont understand why we need to be on Fabric if we are only going to be using Power BI and CoPilot. We dont need 95% of the offerings.. only Power BI.
Microsoft has done a poor job of explaining the ROI. If anyone thinks that ‘matter of fact’ bullet points is a “narrative”, they haven’t worked with senior stakeholders. True insight comes in the ability to explain WHY a data point has increased or decreased.
In my company, I sit on a board. We expect the Leads to robustly explain performance and that requires them to understand and own the data. If any of them turned up with this rubbish, believe me - they would be fired.
Smart Narrative and Power BI insights can tell you why something has Increased or decreased.
that is the province of advanced stats where human human judgement governs selection of the analytical model--quasi exp designs, SEMs, etc--far from what's shown here.
In my experience, Copilot was a terrible POwer B expert, giving the wrong formulas, apologizing, then giving more wrong formulas.
ChatGPT was MUCH BETTER acting as a Power BI expert.
How could Microsoft screw that up?
This has been my experience so far as well. I will be curious to see how this evolves.
Thanks for the feedback. Would love if you can share examples so that we can improve.
Worse still of course, Co-Pilot is only available on paid for premium SKUs (Fabric or PowerBI)
@@vivmaha You don’t work for Microsoft. Go and get a job and you can stop pretending.
wished she'd talk a bit faster....
I'm going to be honest here.
I'd rather go to TH-cam and find an actual human who explains how to write the code, and then me learn how to do it.
All this AI stuff requires perfect data to make it work.
My company has data that isn't perfect. AI just doesn't work too well to be perfectly honest.
The magic was... MS never told us this was beeing forced in an update. I dont want it. Killed it. Thumbs down.
Her voice is boring
Carly rocks! 💃 👩🎤 🌟
i wish my data model could be that straight-forward to churn out all the insights and information 🥲
Is it correct that Copilot can only be used in combination with a prermium or F64 capacity, which costs minimum 5.000$ per month?
Good question I’m struggling to get this to work and had seen this somewhere. Yet this video says anyone can use
