Power BI, Dataflows, Semantic Models, Copilot & more!

Immerse yourself in the intricacies of Microsoft Fabric with a specialized training day tailored entirely to Data Analysts. While Thursday, February 6th, offered a glimpse into various Fabric topics, our upcoming training day on Friday, February 7th is your opportunity to delve deeper into the platform.

Your trainers are experts, who have been working in the subject area for years, and who will guide you through unlocking the full potential of Fabric through the lens of a Data Analyst. They will focus on the practical aspects, based on their experience of collaborating with customers worldwide.

We will cover core topics, including:

Power BI in the expanded universe of Fabric: Now Fabric is built on the foundation of the Power BI Service, as we know and love for years, what does Fabric bring to the table? What additional features and possibilities are useful to start exploring in the perspective of a Data Analyst.

Dataflows: As part of Fabric, Dataflows gen2 are available. What are dataflows gen2 exactly and how do they differ from dataflows gen1? Understanding data destinations of dataflows, the format in which the data is saved and staging of dataflow results.

OneLake and Lakehouse: Fabric centers around the lake and thrives on Delta. Further explore what lakehouses are and how they can be used by the Data Analyst.

Building Semantic Models in Fabric: Mastering the art of constructing robust semantic models tailored to your data analysis needs, including the new Power BI Direct Lake mode, how this storage mode compares to existing ones like Direct Query and Import.

Notebooks: A new concept for many and may look scary at first. Using Python and other coding languages is not something you do in your everyday life as Data Analyst. Explore how Notebooks can be used for semantic model analysis, optimization and documentation using Fabric Semantic Link in Notebooks.

Copilot for Microsoft Fabric: What is the fuzz everyone is talking about, in which places do we find copilot in Power BI and how can it help us be more productive?

Data Activator: Drive actions based on your data. No longer check conditions based on a fixed time schedule, but let’s turn it around and let the data trigger the action for you!
