What are Quick Insights in PowerBI Service: Know More

Quick Insight is an advantageous feature available in the PowerBI Service that can be used to get various insights to sub-sets of a dataset. It runs a set of machine learning algorithms that will determine the best insights to generate through the subset of data. It will create insights based on the fields available in the dataset.
