Q&A Setup Icon in Live connection
Hi Team,
In my power bi report, I'm working with live connection as data source. The problem is when I'm using the Q&A visual, then Gear icon or Q&A setup option is not visible in desktop and on service as well .
Can someone how can i resolve this?
Hi H_s -When using a live connection as a data source in Power BI, certain features, like the Q&A setup (gear icon), may not be available. This is because live connections to certain data sources (such as Analysis Services or Power BI datasets) have some limitations. However, there are ways to work around these limitations to some extent. Here's a detailed approach to resolve or mitigate the issue.
Understanding the Limitation
The Q&A setup option, which includes the gear icon for configuring the Q&A experience, is generally available for imported datasets but might be restricted or limited for live connections due to the way metadata and model configurations are handled.
Hope it helps
