How can I use Quick insights in Power BI Desktop?

[Sahir_Maharaj]

For best results, I would recommend optimizing your data for Power BI Quick Insights: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-insights-optimize

Note: Some datasets can't generate insights because the data isn't statistically significant. For more information, see Optimize your data for Power BI quick insights.

4. The visualizations display in a special Quick Insights canvas with up to 32 separate insight cards. Each card has a chart or graph plus a short description.

2. Power BI uses various algorithms to search for trends in your dataset.

1. Choose the workspace where the dataset is located. From the Datasets + dataflows tab, select More options (...) next to the dataset, and then choose Get quick insights.

The insights generated can be accessed from the same context menu via a View Insights option. Each insight contains a Power BI visual, the title of the insight (algorithm) applied, such as outliers and correlation, and a short description. Visuals from View Insights can also be pinned to new and existing dashboards.

The generated visuals can then be added to the Power BI Desktop file and edited just like all other visuals. To run quick insights against a dataset, click the ellipsis under the Actions category for the given dataset and select Get quick insights.

Hi @Anonymous,

An Analyze option appears when right-clicking a specific data point, enabling additional visualizations to be generated specific to the selected item, such as a date on a line chart or a dimension value on a bar chart.
