Narrative and Summarize Function not working
- 1 year ago
Hi ReuelSantiago ,
Many users have reported that the Summarize and Narrative features (including the Narrative visual, formerly Smart Narrative) are no longer generating automatic text in Power BI Service when connected to a semantic model. The issue does not occur in Power BI Desktop, only in the Service, and appears to have started after a recent update from Microsoft.
Workarounds:
-
Use Power BI Desktop for summarization, then publish your report if possible.
-
Monitor the Power BI Support page and the Microsoft Power BI Community for updates or official fixes.
-
You can also raise a support ticket with Microsoft if this is critical for your work.

Hi. I am not sure exactly. I tried using it July 11, 2025, but I know that at around the end of April 2025, the feature was still working.
A new version was pushed on sunday - can you check again?
