Using the Q&A feature for live connection

[Sivasuba1]

Hi Guru's ,

I am new to power BI community and want to learn more. Thought this is the right place to start...

Regarding Q&A feature, Have anyone used on live connection(on-premises) dataset? How is the performance? Would like to know how efficient it is for the business users? 

We have not enabled the Q&A but just debting what value will it add to the business users.

Please share you experience and suggestions.

Thanks,
Siva

Hi there whilst it will work only with Live Connections, it does appear to say that there can be possible things that do not work as expected due to it having to index all the data and try and understand your data.
