If you have edit permission for a semantic model, you can add your own featured questions to that semantic model. Power BI Q&A will show those questions to colleagues who consume dashboards based on that semantic model. Featured questions give your colleagues ideas about the types of questions they can ask about the semantic model. The featured questions you add are up to you. You can add popular questions, questions that display interesting results, or questions that might be hard to phrase.
Note
Q&A featured questions are available for use in the Microsoft Power BI app on iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch devices and in the Power BI service (app.powerbi.com). Creating the questions is only available in the Power BI service.
This article uses the Retail Analysis sample. Follow these step-by-step instructions to explore a semantic model.
On the dashboard, select the Ask a question about your data Q&A question box. Notice that Q&A is already being helpful by displaying some suggested questions.
To create a featured question, in Power BI, select More options (...), select Settings > Settings.
Select Semantic models > Retail Analysis sample > Featured Q&A questions.
Select Add a question.
Type your question in the text box. For example, type "show last year sales by territory as filled map" and select Apply. Optionally, add another question by selecting Add a question again.
Go back to the Power BI dashboard for the Retail Analysis sample, and place your cursor in the Q&A question box.
The Q&A screen shows the new featured question, show last year sales by territory as filled map. Select the featured question.

Create dashboards in Power BI - Training
Microsoft Power BI dashboards are different than Power BI reports. Dashboards allow report consumers to create a single artifact of directed data that is personalized just for them. Dashboards can be composed of pinned visuals that are taken from different reports. Where a Power BI report uses data from a single semantic model, a Power BI dashboard can contain visuals from different semantic models.
