Conversational Data Exploration in Power BI with Fabric and Copilot

This video explores how Copilot in Power BI with Fabric can support fast, conversational data exploration to help teams gain insights and communicate value early. Robin demonstrates exporting SharePoint data into a Fabric workspace and using Copilot to ask natural-language questions about a simple safety dataset, such as identifying common patterns in near-miss reports. Rather than replacing validation or testing, Copilot is positioned as a starting point for insight generation and discussion, especially when working with leadership. The key takeaway is that browser-based Power BI and Copilot enable rapid exploration, clearer communication, and quicker alignment on what future dashboards and data models should deliver.
