Get the most out of it

01Ensure proper data model preparation with clear column names, measure descriptions, and correct relationships—Copilot accuracy depends heavily on data quality and schema design.
02Enable Copilot at the tenant level in the Power BI Admin Portal and assign workspaces to F2+ Fabric capacity or Premium capacity; both the tenant setting AND workspace capacity assignment are required.
03Start with Microsoft Fabric F2 capacity (~$260/month) for pilots or use reserved Fabric instances (F64) to achieve 31-41% cost reductions on committed workloads.
04Use the Fabric Capacity Metrics app to monitor actual token consumption and CU usage in your organization—estimated benchmarks in Microsoft docs often differ from real production usage.
05Ensure your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID (not personal Microsoft accounts) and verify Copilot is available in your geographic region, as some sovereign cloud regions have delayed or limited support.
