Can Q provide the answers outside the datasets used for the dashboards

Q&A

Hi,
In my dashboard dataset, I have multiple calculated fields (custom measures). If an end-user asks Q something like “What formula is used for this calculation?”, does Q have the ability to display or explain the underlying calculation logic?
Or is the calculation formula only visible to the dataset author in the data prep layer?

I have tried it using a defined answers in custom instructions for the calculations logic used in the dataset but it is not giving us the exact answer.

Also we want questions like :
why there is difference in current dataset report and other dataset report?
What is the business rule defined for the topic we created?

Kindly check and any guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Rahul

Hi @rahul8,
Q Topics are more designed to answer questions specifically about the values/data within a dataset as opposed to general knowledge around those datasets.
However, the new chat agents feature is designed to handle more in depth questions and may be more fit for these types of questions:
