Hi Ashish Javiya,
Power BI Copilot cannot directly fetch Azure resources or resource groups dynamically from Azure. Copilot operates on top of existing semantic models and datasets in Power BI or Microsoft Fabric, meaning the Azure data must first be ingested through APIs such as Azure Resource Graph, Log Analytics, or REST endpoints and then modeled in a dataset. Once the Azure resource data is available in the semantic model, Copilot can generate visuals, summaries, and insights, but it does not function as a live Azure inventory or governance tool. In practice, the recommended architecture is to collect Azure metadata through APIs or pipelines, store it in Fabric or Power BI, build a semantic model, and then leverage Copilot to create reports and analytics based on that prepared data.

Power BI Copilot does not explicitly mention the capability to fetch data on-the-go from Azure for specific resources like resource groups or all resources in the context provided. However, Copilot in Power BI allows users to ask natural language questions and get insights from data they have access to within Microsoft Fabric. This includes the ability to interact with various data sources and generate reports based on the available data models and reports in Power BI.

For real-time data analysis, Copilot for Real-Time Intelligence can help users explore data and extract insights, but specific functionalities related to fetching Azure resources directly were not detailed in the context.

If you're looking to integrate Azure data into Power BI, you might want to explore the data connectors available in Power BI that allow for direct connections to Azure services, which could facilitate the reporting you are interested in.
