How to make Q and A responsive, working and answer properly?
- 1 year ago
You need to do some work in order to make QA effective, basically it is the training that you are providing
1. Add meaning full names, synonyms, descriptions to each and every object in your semantic model
2. Add relationships (this is not the relationships between your tables in semantic model but you have to define the meaning for data available in your model)
3. Add sample questions and provide answers.
4. If you enable Copilot in your organisation then you can expect even more better results I believe

Power BI's Q&A visual can be incredibly powerful, but its effectiveness heavily depends on how well the underlying semantic model is prepared. If you're finding that the Q&A feature often fails to return correct or responsive answers, the root cause is typically due to insufficient model optimization rather than the tool itself. To improve its accuracy, start by renaming your tables and columns with user-friendly, natural-language terms—avoid technical jargon or abbreviations. Also, create synonyms for commonly used business terms via the Q&A setup pane to align with how users naturally phrase questions. Ensure your relationships between tables are correctly defined, as ambiguous or missing relationships can confuse Q&A’s logic. You can also add featured questions to guide users or use phrasings to teach Q&A how to interpret common queries. Lastly, limit the use of overly complex measures or calculated columns that Q&A might not interpret well. With these steps, you help the Q&A visual better understand the intent behind questions, making it far more responsive and accurate in answering user queries.
