CoPilot with Pro Trial Version

My Team has Pro License with 60 days Trial. However CoPilot seems to be not working with this License type. Is there any alternative of using CoPilot in PowerBI or in Notebooks?

The copilot in Power BI is available, even without Paid Fabric. But... it is only available for creating measures, better Q&A and super smart narratvies in the model. Nothing more. To explore the copilot in power bi you need to do following things

1) activate the cross region setting for OpenAI if you're outside of the US on the tenant admin screen

2) Activate the preview features in power bi

To use copilot in Fabric to help with Dataflows and create reports you will need to pay for a F64. Keep in mind, that you can start and stop Fabric in Azure any time. so you don't need to pay 24/7. Just an hour here or there might do the trick. but.. not sure how far you will get for the hackathon.

Unfortunately Copilot features are not available in Microsoft Fabric free trial capacities at this time, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/get-started/copilot-fabric-overview#enable-copilot
