Power BI Copilot

Power BI Copilot is a set of generative AI experiences in Microsoft Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service. It helps report creators build or edit report pages and DAX, while report consumers can ask questions, summarize reports, and analyze governed semantic models through chat-based experiences.

Copilot runs inside an organization’s Power BI and Microsoft Fabric environment rather than as a standalone analytics subscription. Access depends on paid organizational capacity, tenant settings, supported regions, and the user’s permissions on the workspace, report, app, or semantic model.

Supported use cases

Summarize a business report

Ask for the main findings in a report and follow up on the underlying data.

Draft a report page

Use Copilot to create a first set of visuals from a well-prepared semantic model.

Write or understand DAX

Generate a measure or get an explanation of an existing expression while building a model.

Limitations

Paid capacity required

Copilot requires eligible paid Fabric capacity or Power BI Premium capacity; free SKUs and trial capacities are not supported.

Administrative and regional prerequisites

A tenant administrator must enable Copilot, the capacity must be in a supported region, and sovereign clouds are not supported.
