About Power BI
Power BI deepens Copilot reach and lands write-back analytics with Translytical GA.
Power BI's monthly drumbeat is consolidating around three threads. Copilot keeps expanding into new surfaces — in-report Copilot is now in Power BI mobile preview, conversational chat is on the way, and a Power BI Copilot is landing inside the Excel add-in. Translytical task flows have moved to general availability, opening write-back from reports. Visual and theming work continues with modern visual defaults, slicer layout improvements, and ongoing Direct Lake calc-column previews.
