    Hi vivien57 

     

    Sorry I missed that. You are on the right track. To add additional tables from Dataverse, you need to do Get data again to create new shortcuts for those tables. It doesn't allow editing an existing shortcut. If you don't want an existing shortcut, you can just delete it.

Hi vivien57 

 

You could follow up the steps listed in Manage link to Fabric section of the following document. View the status of tables by selecting Manage tables. Select additional tables. Then use the Refresh Fabric tables option to add the newly enabled table in Fabric.

Link your Dataverse environment to Microsoft Fabric and unlock deep insights - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

 

Hope this would be helpful.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, it works if you create the link from the Dataverse.

However, it is also possible to create the link from Fabric, as follows (in the existing LakeHouse):


Once the link has been made for the tables I need, I see the tables and data in my Lakehouse, but I can't find a way of editing the list of tables for which I want to make the link.

Thank you in advance for your return,

Vivien

        Hi vivien57 

         

        I would recommend creating shortcuts from Fabric Lakehouse if you only need some specific tables of Dataverse.

         

        At present, if you use Link to Microsoft Fabric feature from Power Apps, it selects all tables by default. You cannot deselect the tables you don't want. Some users don't like this. However this is by design now. (Based on my test, not all tables were selected. But only a few tables were not selected. I cannot deselect the tables selected by default.) So I don't recommend this approach personally.
