Hello,
I try to test Copilot in Power Bi. I have enabled all settings which seems necessary, but Suggestions with Copilot is greyed out and it's showing this error:
I have Premium Per user license, and I'm outside USA.
1.
2.
3.
4. I have installed the latest version of Power BI, and I'm signed it:
Any ideas? I don't see any Copilot related visual also. Thanks in advance
I tried it with 3 different Power BI reports, with import models, without RLS, no OLS, even report with only sample dataset, but "Suggestions with Copilot" is greyed out and it's showing the same error for al of them.
@BI007 Hmm, check that this Q&A setting is enabled:
@Greg_Deckler It's enabled. I have it's screenshot in the first Post (in picture 3.).
What else can be the reason? Maybe Q&A should be disabled and not enabled?
@BI007 I don't see that particular setting in your screen shots from your first post. That setting is File | Options and settings | Options | CURRENT FILE | Data Load. Unless I missed it, your screen shots were of Prevew feature settings and tenant-level settings. But, assuming you have it enabled and it is still not working, you're probably looking at a support case because I'm out of ideas.
You could check the Issues forum here:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
And if it is not there, then you could post it.
If you have Pro account you could try to open a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free. Go to https://support.powerbi.com. Scroll down and click "CREATE SUPPORT TICKET".
@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your reply, it is enabled too:
I'm using Premium Per User license. Maybe Q&A setting in Tenant should be disabled instead of enable? Is it worth trying? I shoud ask about it to Tenant Admin. No other things left to test
@BI007 Maybe try signing-out. Does the tab then become active with a "Sign on and turn on Q&A" button?
@BI007 Are you in the US? Maybe there is some kind of issue or bug involved here. You seem to be following all the steps here: Enable measure suggestions with Copilot in Power BI - Ben's Blog (datakuity.com)
I can tell you that you aren't missing much though. Here's a really simple query I did and the Copilot results were abominable.
I mean, not even close.
@Greg_Deckler One more question, the rest or Copilot in Power BI, like it is in this demo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr__6tM5U6I
Is still in private Preview and not available, right?
That's correct. I don't have high hopes if it is anything like quick measure Copilot suggestions but we'll see.
hey did you ever get a response on this?
@BI007 If this is a DirectQuery dataset then Q&A is not supported except for SQL which I think is in preview. If you are using object level security then no data sources are supported.
