Title: 5 Special Power BI Features Every Beginner Should Know
In this 5-minute talk, I will highlight five powerful yet beginner-friendly features in Power BI Desktop that help users move from raw data to insights quickly and confidently. The session is designed for a general audience, including those who are new to Power BI or prefer low-code, intuitive analytics.
The features covered include:

• Column by Example – Quickly create new columns by providing sample outputs, without writing formulas.
• Decomposition Tree – Interactively break down a KPI to understand contributing factors during analysis or live discussions.
• Key Influencers – Automatically identify the key drivers that impact an outcome using built-in AI analysis.
• Q&A Visual – Ask natural-language questions and instantly generate visuals from the data.
• Smart Narrative – Automatically generate plain-English explanations of trends and insights from reports.

Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how these features reduce complexity, save time, and make insights accessible to both technical and non-technical users. By the end of the session, participants will be able to confidently apply these capabilities in their own Power BI reports.
