CoPilot for Power BI
No, the issue is NOT resolved. But, yes I understood your clarification, stating that Microsoft has simply provided the PowerBI Icon; which does NOT work; but works only when you buy a subscription of "Power BI Premium (P1 and above) or Fabric capacity (F64 and above)". Thank you for your patience, in explaining this to me. I guess, both of us could have saved some time for ourselves, if Microsoft had not provided the Icon (that does not work) in the fisrt place.

Hi WilfredFernande,
I appreciate your patience and understand your concerns about the CoPilot feature in Power BI. To clarify, CoPilot in Power BI currently requires:
- Power BI Premium (P1 and above) or Fabric capacity (F64 and above)
- Tenant admin enabling CoPilot for your organization
At this moment, Microsoft does not provide a free or Pro-tier version of CoPilot for Power BI. This is why, even though the icon appears, the feature requires an eligible subscription to function.
Microsoft may expand it in the future, but currently, a full experience requires a high-cost subscription. If you're looking for AI insights without Fabric, explore Power Automate AI Builder, Azure OpenAI APIs, or Python-based AI integrations.
If you don’t see CoPilot in your Power BI workspace, it may be restricted at the tenant level by your organization’s IT team. You might need to ask them to enable it at the basic level, even without a full Microsoft Fabric subscription.
