Power BI Blog: Quick Measures Update

Welcome back to this week’s edition of the Power BI blog series.  This week, we note that Quick Measure Suggestions with Copilot is to be replaced with Microsoft Fabric Copilot.

The ‘Quick Measure Suggestions with Copilot’ feature is no longer available in public Preview.  To continue to use natural language to write DAX formulae for measures, Microsoft Fabric Copilot in DAX query view can help you write DAX queries, which can include query-scoped measures that can be added to your model.

‘Quick measures’ will continue to let you choose a calculation from a list and create a measure using a drag-and-drop template, generating the DAX formula upon clicking ‘Add’.  You can see and modify these measures in the DAX formula bar.  ‘Quick Measure Suggestions’ public Preview introduced quick queries as a pane, allowing you to drag-and-drop from the Data pane instead of within a dialog.  The quick measures will continue to be in the ‘Quick measures’ pane, but the dialog experience will no longer be available.

Starting in October 2024, the tenant setting for this feature will also no longer be available.  Users who have older versions of Power BI Desktop and have the public Preview switch enabled will see the feature as disabled.

That’s it for this week.  In the meantime, please remember we offer training in Power BI which you can find out more about here.  If you wish to catch up on past articles, you can find all of our past Power BI blogs here.
