I soberly confess to clients that Power BI is more of a dashboard development tool than a "self-service" data exploration tool.

Unlike Tabl... ahem... the competition, a user cannot simply just drag data onto a canvas and get instant visual insight.

We need a new Exploration Mode to allow users to interrogate the data without a care for what Visualization is appropriate, let the AI handle that! Slice, Dice, Filter, Compare, Pivot... wrangle.

Let's go back to our roots... "Self Service"! We are falling too far from the mission of empowering the Citizen Data Scientist!!!

We need a new SELF-SERVICE UI for business users!! They are confused AF with the current one!!

If you drag data to the canvas you get a visual. Not sure what else we can do.
