Overview: Copilot in Power BI is generating excitement — and significant confusion. Between multiple Copilot experiences, Fabric capacity requirements, and differences across Desktop, Service, and Fabric, many Power BI professionals struggle to explain what Copilot actually does and when it makes sense to use it.
This session provides a clear, practical overview of:
- Copilot use cases that exist today
- Where Copilot works (and where it doesn’t)
- Licensing and capacity requirements
- Current limits that impact real‑world adoption
Rather than a technical deep dive or demo, the focus is on clarity and expectation‑setting — helping attendees evaluate Copilot realistically and explain it confidently to Excel users, business stakeholders, and clients.
Attendees will leave with a framework they can use to make informed decisions about Copilot and confidently explain it to others.

She is a retired Microsoft Excel MVP, Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Microsoft Data Analyst Associate (PL‑300), and Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel Expert.

Her work emphasizes licensing clarity, user expectations, and helping teams avoid costly or unnecessary decisions when implementing Power BI and Copilot.
