One dataset and three use cases with Microsoft Fabric
Are you curious about how to leverage Open Data with Fabric? In this demo filled session, I will show you how I import World Bank Open Data into Fabric using different methods: Pipelines, Data factory Gen-II, Notebooks and a mix of all three. Then I will demonstrate how I do modelling using Warehouse, Power BI Dataset model and Notebooks. Finally, I will create stunning reports using Power BI.
By the end of the session, attendees will get an idea of how each artifact would work, why one would use one over other artifacts, and understand how to create an end-to-end solution with Microsoft Fabric
Powering Up Your Power BI Development Workflow with Microsoft Fabric Notebooks
Are you excited about Microsoft Fabric and its Notebooks feature, but also feel overwhelmed by the different languages it supports, this session is for you. You will learn the basics of Python and Spark, and how to use Notebooks to write and run code. You will also discover how to leverage tools like CoPilot to assist you with code suggestions and corrections. Moreover, you will see how to use libraries like SemPy to enrich your Power BI development with advanced analytics. Join Prathy in this session and get ready to explore the possibilities of Notebooks in Microsoft Fabric.
