Q&A Visualization In Power BI - Formatting The Q&A Visual

Overview

 

Power BI recently rolled out a new visual in the October 2019 update which is the Q&A visualization in Power BI. Q&A visual is the first Natural Language Generation visualization.

 

We can ask questions to our data model and the visual shows us the best appropriate result based on our model.

 

During this article, we will talk about how we can format the Q&A visualization in the Power BI.

 

I have divided the entire article of Q&A visualization into three different parts. If you have missed the first part of this article series, check the link from the following.

• Formatting in the Q&A Visualization
• Q&A Tooling – Review Questions, Train the Model by Setting a Term

So, now let’s get started with an overview of the formatting of the Q&A visualization.

 

Step 1

 

Below is the Q&A visual which we have created.

 

When we select the visual, from the Format Pane we have the following options.

 

 

Step 2 - Question Field Formatting

 

When we expand the formatting of the Question field, it shows us the following options.

 

1. Background color:
2. Question font Color
3. Question font size
4. Question font family
5. Accepted underline color
6. Error underline color
7. Hover color
8. Restatement font color
9. Restatement font size
10. Restatement font family

Step 3

 

Now, let’s check the second property which is “Suggestions”.

 

The suggestion property has a switch on the top to turn “On” or “Off” the suggestions. If we turn on the suggestions, our Q&A visual will show us the suggestions,  otherwise it will not show us any suggestions.

 

We can change the following property with the “Suggestions” option.

 

1. Turn on or off the suggestions
2. Header font color
3. Header font size
4. Header font family
5. Card background color
6. Card font family
7. Card font size
8. Card font family

If we turn off the suggestions, it will not show any suggestions to the end users
