Asking natural language questions
- [Instructor] When you have questions about the data in a dashboard, you can ask these, just as you may ask a person, in a natural language. Start by placing the cursor in the Ask a question about your data field. Next, check to make sure that the new Q&A experience is enabled. If it's not, select this toggle switch to enable it. Within the Ask a question about your data, type the question. Let's ask what the market share was for April 2005. If you'd like to work with one of these questions, you can select it from the list. Before we complete this question, notice that there is a big tile displaying the answer as 22.90%. As we continue typing here, we'll just type an abbreviation for April, it's recognizing that as a date field, and if we'll like to work with 2005, we'll select Apr 05. The result is 21.87%. This can be pinned as a big number tile within the dashboard by selecting Pin visual in the upper right corner. To exit Q&A, select Exit Q&A in the upper left corner. And that's how you can ask a natural language question and get a visualized answer.
