Now more than ever, we need data to make better decisions.
DataSelf leverages Tableau Ask Data and Power BI Q&A to provide users with natural language query (NLQ), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities from clean and reliable data feeds. NLQ allows people to get insights by simply conversing with their data. Now you can ask questions of any published data source and get answers in the form of a visualization. It allows you the ability to explore data at the speed of thought.

- The portal will open the Ask Data tab and re-optimize the data source for answering questions.
- Simply type in a question in the Ask about fields in this data source box.
- To get used to the natural language query engine, we recommend typing the questions in small pieces. For instance, instead of asking "sales by salesperson in 2019 by month", type in "sales by salesperson" (do not press Enter yet) and select the presented option that should give you the correct answer; then type "in 2019" and select the correct option; then "by month" and select the correct option. This broken down approach allows the user to start with simple questions, validate the results at each step of the way, and then add more context until the complete question is answered. As users get familiar with the NLQ syntax, it becomes easier to ask questions in a way that the engine knows how to answer, or prevent asking questions that the engine still doesn't know how to respond.
