#FabCon #FabConEurope

What a day one of #FabCon!!! Bold announcements at the opening session, a lot of friends from Microsoft and the #community, a full house at my #MicrosoftFabric for #PowerBI people session delivered with @marclelijveld.bsky.social 🔥🚀 Energizing time!

#FabCon #MicrosoftFabric

How massive the #MicrosoftFabric #community is 😱

Getting ready for #FabCon 🔥🔥🔥

Slowly heading to LAS for #FabCon. Now it’s time to get a breakfast at AMS. Not enough sleep is the problem to solve now :-)

Getting ready for #FabCon 2025. Flying to Vegas via Amsterdam tomorrow ✈️

Looking forward to meeting a lot of #MicrosoftFabric and #PowerBI #community folks! 📈

Friday joking mood: the moment when AI goes wild and contributes to data platform flame war… 😁

#Databricks #Snowflake

You’re not the only one who has fallen in love with this tool ;-)

For me it used to work but just got broken recently.

Hey, #MicrosoftFabric team, is it just me or is the Switch Tenant button broken? This is what shows up when I try to switch between tenants (have access to 4 tenants).

Can anyone check if this is a reproducible bug or my #MicrosoftFabric is special: in a task flow add a new Visualize task, then select New item on the task, switch to the All available items and find semantic model. On my side it’s not there :-) Anyone has the same effect?

Update: looks like shortcuts to Iceberg have some issues with Iceberg dynamic tables in Snowflake. For standard Iceberg tables new data seems to be synchronized correctly. Problem reported to Microsoft.

Things got worse. I rerun the row count query and it returned the correct number (150001), then added one more row in Snowflake, rerun row count in Fabric and… got a permanent 1 (table preview displays only the newest row) 😬 The real row count is 150002. Auch…!

Playing with #ApacheIceberg integration in #MicrosoftFabric. Things just got weird as row count on shortcut table returned 0 while preview shows sample 1000 rows and the real row count is 150k+ (I’m using Snowflake’s Iceberg dynamic table as a source for the shortcut). Is this expected…?

Finally #ApacheIceberg integration in #MicrosoftFabric is available in Public Preview. Looks promising, although I wish to be able to write tables from #Snowflake directly into the Tables folder of my Fabric lakehouse. Is it coming anytime soon? :-)

📣 After several months of break I’m back with my Data Platform News newsletter on LinkedIn (covering #Snowflake, #MicrosoftFabric and #Databricks): www.linkedin.com/pulse/data-p... :-)

And for practical reasons its worth checking a REST API for shortcuts. You can create them using code. I’ve put some PySpark together: github.com/pawelpo/Fabr...

Thanks for the code, mate!
