Enhancing exploration of reports

Power BI reports can be accessed and dynamically filtered via natural language queries in both Power BI Q&A as well as Windows Cortana. This can greatly extend the self-service experience as the user isn't required to navigate through reports or make slicer selections within a report page. To best take advantage of these features, report designers can create featured Q&A questions, expose report pages to common natural language terms, and create report pages specific to Cortana or Q&A queries. Report authors can also design drillthrough report pages to enable users to quickly and easily explore the details associated with a specific item of interest. Finally, report themes can be imported or created from scratch to apply custom formatting to new and existing reports, such as with a corporate report layout standard.
