As the dust settles on SQLBits and FabCon, we can now reflect on the vast swathe of new Fabric announcements and their impact (if any) on our businesses. I shared Arun’s main blog last week: Announcements from the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference, but if a wall of words isn’t for you, it might be easier looking through the latest posts on the Fabric blog to get an idea of the top-level updates and announcements. The main announcements impacting Power BI users, in my opinion, would be
- Announcing Folder in Workspace in Public Preview – Folders for Fabric artifacts! Although currently
.pbixfiles have to be manually uploaded to a target folder. (Apparently publishing to a folder from Power BI Desktop will arrive in the next few months.) - Announcing the Public Preview of Database Mirroring in Microsoft Fabric – Mirroring automatically replicates your database data into your tenant’s OneLake. Currently only supported for Azure Cosmos DB, Azure SQL DB and Snowflake.
- Get data with Power Query available in Power BI Report Builder (Preview) – Paginated Reports can now connect to hundreds of data sources using the Power Query Editor we know and love from Power BI Desktop.
Elsewhere this week, Carly Newsome has joined Adam at GuyInACube to discuss Copilot for Power BI: Your Ultimate Copilot Guide, Alberto Ferrari has continued the visual calculations series with Introducing EXPAND and COLLAPSE for visual calculations in Power BI, and Reid Havens has explained the difference between Explosion Vs Erosion for Stacked Charts in Power BI.
