Microsoft announced on December 1, 2025 that the legacy natural-language feature Power BI Q&A will be fully deprecated in December 2026. Instead, users will be encouraged to adopt Power BI Copilot, which offers a more advanced, AI-driven way to query data and build visuals.

Here’s what you need to know:

Why the change?
Microsoft is moving to Copilot to remove overlapping features and deliver a more modern, intuitive, and consistent AI experience across Power BI.
What’s affected?
All Q&A experiences—reports, dashboards, and embedded analytics—along with Q&A Setup, will be phased out.
Deprecation timeline
By December 2026, all Q&A visuals and setups will be removed, and existing ones across reports, dashboards, mobile, and embedded scenarios will no longer function.
What should you do next?
Start transitioning to Copilot and Chat with your data, giving you a more powerful and seamless way to explore insights across Power BI.
