The Power BI Smart Narrative visual is INSANE AMAZING!

The smart narrative visual can help tell the story in your Power BI report. Justyna Lucznik joins us to explore the visual and to illustrate how you can generate text about your data.

Power BI got my salary raised by 59% this year, in a pandemic. Thank you forever.

This feature is literally life changing. For creators with users of their reports that continually want to see a synopsis of the data, it's right there. The fact it updates with slicers and cross-filters is unbelievable.

[wmgemmell]

This is insane! Well done to all involved, and thank you!

[juanes]

Power BI is a monster and it looks like it won’t stop surprising us for a long time... should I start my career for power bi developer?

[gonzo]

This feature is great and I've got my hands on it for the first time, thank you for the video. The feature needs a lot more added into it. I need dynamic phrasing within my strings, and I need the entry form to recognize more complex requests, such as formulas, particularly IF THEN conditionals to determine the phrasing in the string. My own Schedule Analysis conditionals are more cumbersome, but are better suited to provide a more dynamic result. Please add to the feature!!

Too many modern fancy visualisations actually do much to obscure what is actually happening in the data. This has the potential to change everything!

Ammmmazing update. This takes report summarisation to a next level. Very intuitive. #smartnarrative #powerbi

[Bharath_PBI]

Amazing insane!! Two words to describe this feature. Still in preview so will look forward for more details.

1 question and idea! why its limited to only NLP (Q&A), report developers write lots of DAX code and so it should include measure support, instead of asking questions. I feel business users ask questions (q&a) and Developers should be able to pick the measure they want in the commentary text.

Ex: get a comma separated list of top 10 products based on quantity sold could be done in DAX measure and can be added to card visual, but not easy enough to get in q and a, without multiple attempts unless it gets the expected results. Just a thought to include the measures in this amazingly insane functionality. Thank you 👍

So can a lazy developer see the DAX generated by that dynamic value? I could see that as a way to get around DAX writers block - write it out in text, let the AI figure out the DAX and then build off of it? Not that I know any lazy DAX developers or anything, just asking for a friend....

[harshitmehta]

This is insane amazing!! Can't wait for it to work with AAS.

[jfuentesr]

Will this feature available in Report Server PBI version?

[mchamarelli]

Hey, this is awesome and I already used it on a demo this week. One thing I want to try is to use it as a pop-up tool tip for a visual, I wonder if it would work like that!

[juansepowerplatform]

I could see the insert variable into the text narrative very useful for Financial reporting. Back in the day when filling out K1 and stuff I manually had to update each single metric on a word file. Now I guess I can use this to dynamically change

[INFPA]

I like the positive attitude that Kerberos 'just works' !

[regiszapata]

When this is going to be available in Analysis Services?

[joaquinmaverick]

this feature is available only in english? or will came out in other languages, like Spanish?

[abcthegreat]

Glad PBI added this feature. Was intrigued by Narrative Science for the text summaries but trust the Power BI version will catch up quickly.

[joaquinmaverick]

WOW!!!! insane amazing, you're right Patrick, blow my mind.
Q&A and Smart Narrative are crazy!!

[SolutionsAbroad]

Great feature and great demo Justyna! I think this feature is definitely a great step towards AI-driven analytics

[SearchKnowledge]

This is AMAZING!
But... I really need this with a tabular connected datamodel...please! 🙏
