Using Featured Questions in Power BI Q&A

Those of you who have tried Power BI may have noticed the Featured Questions tiles:

(Those of you who have not yet tried Power BI: go to powerbi.com and build you own demo environments in minutes for free!)

The featured questions function as a sort of shortcut / favorite to an answer in Q&A. What is cool is that you can actually add your own.

To do this start Q&A and come up with the question you would like to feature. I used “medal count by country in europe for swimming vs athletics”.

Now, copy that question (or remember it) and click on the fly-out on the right and then choose “featured questions”. Next click on “add featured question”.

In the next window type or paste your question and wait for Q&A to validate it.
