Ask a Question Button and Visual not showing

‎01-02-2020 05:54 AM

I have the September 2019 Desktop version of Power BI and cannot find the 'Ask a Question' visual or button - is this something that needs to get installed separately?

@Anonymous seems like it was introduced in Oct, 2019 and that's why you are not seeing it.

 

Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.

@Anonymous I think you have to turn if on in preview section of options and settings.

Hi @parry2k thanks for the suggestion. I did originally look in Options but don't have the Preview  option on my PBI Desktop. (And I'm thinking that the Q&A button has been around for a good while now so suspect it's on the ribbon as standard in most cases).

Many thanks @parry2k  - I'll look forward to our organisation installing the January 2020 versions for the additional Q&A functionality. Thanks.
