Reporting New Visual – 100% Stacked Area Chart
The 100% Stacked Area Chart is now available in Power BI’s core visuals gallery. This chart type is designed to display the relative percentage of multiple data series in stacked areas, where the total always equals 100%. It’s particularly useful for showing how different categories contribute to a whole over time. You can find it in the visual gallery, on-object dialog, or format pane, right next to the regular Stacked Area Chart. Give it a try and share your feedback with us! 📊

Enhance Q&A with Copilot-Generated Linguistic Relationships
Improving your linguistic schema is crucial for ensuring that the Q&A visual can understand a wide range of questions related to your data. Here’s how we’re making it easier:
- Linguistic Relationships:
- Back in September, we introduced a section in the Q&A setup menu to help you add linguistic relationships. These relationships teach Q&A about words that qualify or relate to your data.
- But coming up with all the different words people might use to refer to your data can be time-consuming.
- Copilot-Generated Synonyms and Relationships:
- In November, we made it easier by allowing you to quickly generate synonyms for table and column names.
- Now, we’ve extended this functionality to linguistic relationships as well.
- When you open a report with a Q&A visual and have Copilot enabled, you’ll see a banner prompting you to get relationships with Copilot.
- Unlike synonyms, Copilot-generated relationships won’t be used for natural language inputs until you approve them. So, make sure to accept the ones that work for your model!
- Improved Q&A Term Recognition:
- Copilot can now help interpret Q&A questions.
- When you ask a question using words or phrases that Q&A doesn’t recognize but might refer to data entities (like tables or columns), Copilot checks for reasonable matches.
- If a match is found, Copilot returns an answer as though a suggested synonym had been applied.
- Remember, Synonyms Are Still Important:
- While this feature widens the range of inputs Q&A recognizes, adding synonyms for entities in your semantic model remains crucial.
- Synonyms increase the surface area for similarity checks and improve recognition, especially for well-modeled data.
This feature will be automatically enabled when you choose to get synonyms with Copilot, but you can also manually turn it on or off in the suggestion settings menu in the Synonyms tab of Q&A setup. 🤖
