๐Ÿค” "Why did Microsoft design it like this?!" - sign up and help shape the future of Fabric ๐Ÿš€
If you've ever thought... "hmm, I wonder why they've designed this feature like this?!" - this post is for you. This is a cool opportunity to help shape the future of Microsoft Fabric. You can sign up via this link to join the Fabric User Panel: aka.ms/JoinFabricUserPanel In the Panel, you'll work directly with the Fabric Product Team and provide feedback on the product, including new features that are currently private (you'll need to sign an NDA to join the panel!). You feedback will help shape the future strategic direction for the product - nice. So if you want to provide feedback to Microsoft, to help shape it into a better product, then sign up to the Fabric User Panel today ๐Ÿ˜€ PS, if you sign up, you can leave at any time. Let me know if you're thinking about joining, or if you have any questions about it!

This is a good development
PBI Fabric theme personalization
Hello everyone, do you if it's possible to personalize PBI theme in Fabric as we can do on PBI desktop ?

Hi @Aissa Haddad Right now, you canโ€™t fully customize themes in Fabric like you do in Power BI Desktop. But if you set your theme in Desktop and then publish, itโ€™ll keep that theme in Fabric. You just canโ€™t upload or tweak it much directly in the power bi service for now. Fingers crossed they add that soon

@Wesley Wood also work in housing and we implementing fabrics at the minute. Quiet an interesting sector
Using ChatGPT/ LLMs for learning Fabric (be careful!)
I get it, it's an attractive proposition. Type any technical question into a chat window and get an instant response. Unfortunately (at the moment), it's not quite as simple as that. I think we all know that ChatGPT & other large language models (LLMs) can hallucinate, i.e. confidently giving you answers that: - are wrong - are misleading - were maybe right 6 months ago, but now the answer is irrelevant/ not accurate. With Fabric, they are a few factors that increase the likelihood of hallucinations, that you need to be very aware of: - Fabric is fast moving - things change weekly, monthly. Therefore a feature/ method/ piece of documentation that was used in the last LLM training run 6 months ago, might no longer be relevant, or new features have superseded previous approaches. - Fabric is the evolution of previous Microsoft data products. This is good in some ways, but catastrophic for LLMs (and learners relying on LLMs). There is vastly more training data out on the internet for Azure Data Factory, for example, than Fabric Data Factory. Or Azure Synapse Data Engineering over Fabric Data Engineering. And yes there are similarities for how the old tools work vs the new tools, but you need to be super careful that the LLM generates a response for FABRIC Data Pipelines, rather than Azure Data Factory pipelines, for example. Or generates Fabric Data Warehouse compliant T-SQL code, rather than Azure SQL code. This is very difficult, unless you have knowledge of how both products work (which most learners/ beginners don't!). I'm not saying don't use LLMs for studying, just that you need to be super careful. I can think of two use cases that are lower risk, using LLM+Fabric for Spark syntax & KQL syntax generation. That's because Spark and KQL are very mature ecosystems, with lots of training data on the internet, and their syntax won't change too much over the months and years. Fabric Data Warehouse T-SQL code generation is more tricky/ risky because the way the Fabric Data Warehouse works is quite different to a conventional SQL Server (which is what most of the training data will be based on).

I totally agree with everything youโ€™ve said. Iโ€™ve found that pairing the official documentation with hands-on experimentation in Fabric is where the real learning happens, trying things out often reveals nuances that arenโ€™t obvious from either the documentation or LLM responses. In fact, itโ€™s through that hands-on work that you really start to understand how things fit together and sometimes even the documentation can have grey areas that only surface when you actually build and test.

@Bijal Patel The best way is to use Fabricโ€™s official T-SQL docs https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-warehouse/tsql-surface-area and test queries directly in Fabric, since there are syntax and behavior differences. For existing SQL, start by adjusting key functions and test iteratively.
Suggest best way to connect SharePoint to Fabric ??
The SharePoint site contains folder like structure say year/month/date in that (list of files) and files are incrementally added every day so how to load the data in same format in Fabric Option 1: By creating a connection( with tenant details) using copy data can able to load only the schema of the files in the lakehouse not the physical tables Option 2: Using the dataflow gen2 failed to run the query as the data for the one month is more then 5GB Please suggest an optimise way to connect SharePoint of fabric

Dataflow Gen2 isnโ€™t great for big folder structures, and Copy Data alone wonโ€™t give you proper tables. Best way is to use a Fabric Data Pipeline with Copy Data to pull the SharePoint folders into Lakehouse, then use a Spark notebook or T-SQL to turn it into Delta tables. Works much better for large and growing data.
