Let’s go ahead and look at one page of the report. You can ask analytical questions like, “What are the top reasons for repeat customer visits?”

Copilot responds by adding a new page to your report and leverages the advanced analytical capabilities of Power BI to find key influences for variables in your data.

You can see right away that, for example, spa visitors are most likely to be repeat customers. They are followed by guests who have rented sports equipment. In Power BI, you can easily explore key influences to learn more. You can even automatically see the most significant segments in your data with one click.

Now let’s go back to the first page where we’ll finish your new report. You’ll ask Copilot to make the report look like your existing sales dashboard. Copilot will automatically find it and reference it to adjust the formatting and layout to match your requirements. The best part is that you can still interact directly with the report in Power BI that Copilot created.
