Q&A is fantastic capability that allows non-technical users to build great visualisations. Take the next step and integrate Cortana with Q&A so that users can ask questions of the data, both in the building a dashboard phase but also during the exploration phase; the power of being able to tell users 'go and ask questions of your data' I believe would be immense.

RE: Integrate Cortana

This Does not seem to have been delivered any where near to what is in the description. Seems like it only works if searching dashboards or specific page (cortana boards). Is this something that is being worked on in a different Idea or still being enhanced. I am curious as customers are asking about it. Thank you for your time concerning this matter.

RE: Integrate Cortana

Searched for days to get this working but found out that it actually don't unless you use predefined dashboards/cards...?

RE: Integrate Cortana

This is listed as complete, I disagree. I would expect Cortana to pass through a question to Q&A just as if a user typed the question into Q&A, then return the result to Cortana that would have been returned in PowerBI. Per a recent Microsoft Support ticket we've learned this isn't available unless you use cards which require you to anticipate what questions a user would ask.

RE: Integrate Cortana

I would like to see this also on mobile devices which I think will benefit the most due to the constrained keyboards
