(Livestream Replay) Introduction to Fabric Studio - with Gerhard Brueckl

DESCRIPTION 📄

In this session I will give you an introduction to the Visual Studio Code extension "Fabric Studio" which allows you to manage your Fabric environment directly from within VSCode. Leveraging the Fabric REST APIs you can easily browse through Fabric items and run various tasks. For not so common API calls there is also the ability to user VSCode notebooks offering intelli-sense and auto-complete from all existing API calls. It further allows you to modify existing items like semantic models, notebooks, pipelines, etc. in the VSCode IDE and publish your changes back to the Fabric service. It also features a OneLake browser to inspect the output of your operations.

(Livestream Replay) Fabric & Power BI: Awesome Use-Cases with DAX Query View - with Zoe Douglas

DESCRIPTION 📄

Join us live as we dive into the world of Microsoft Fabric! In this session, Zoe will walk you through the process of creating semantic models using three powerful approaches: Direct Lake, Import, and DirectQuery (DQ). We'll explore how each of these methods can be utilized within Microsoft Fabric to build robust and scalable models tailored to your data needs.

But that's not all—once we've crafted these models, I'll demonstrate how you can leverage them to write efficient DAX queries using the DAX Query View. Whether you're new to Microsoft Fabric or looking to refine your skills, this demo will provide valuable insights and practical techniques you can apply to your projects.

Bring your questions and curiosity, and let's explore the possibilities together!
