Cortana Q&A Power BI integration as it was pre July 2016

[martinterhorst]

It seems that sometime last year the Cortana and Power BI integration has been modified. The old feature (that worked very well) of being able to do anything you could do in a dashboard Q&A on the service from the Cortana Bar was truly AWESOME!. But it has been replaced by a aytem that enforces pre-defined answer reports. Why??? This totally defeats the purpose of the digital assistant. If you have to pre-define the answers, you're not really creating a smart and interactive solution.

So the question I have is: Will the old feature please, please, please return???

Hi @martinterhorst,

You can take a look at fetiyek 's reply in this same thread: Why did cortana support feature change?.

"We have received a ton of feedback that the main scenario people want in Cortana is to retrieve the Cortana report pages they or their analysts have prepared, and ad-hoc questions about data were getting in the way as well as overtriggering for other Cortana scenarios."

You can submit your idea about Cortana integration here.
