    Hi re84uk 

     

    try once below mentioned alternatives and let me know if this helps?

     

    Try typing SQL inside a Python cell using the spark.sql("...") pattern. Occasionally, IntelliSense works better in Python cells with embedded SQL strings.

    Browser or environment issues: Try clearing cache or switching browsers (e.g., Edge/Chrome)

     

     

    I recommend submitting feedback on the specific documentation page you referred to this helps Fabric product team prioritize fixes or clarify expectations.

    you can raise or upvote the idea for full IntelliSense support for Spark SQL in notebooks here:Microsoft Fabric Ideas. Your observations are valid and helpful in improving the experience for everyone.

     

     

    Thanks,

Hi re84uk ,

When writing Spark SQL queries directly in notebooks, especially within %%sql magic commands, IntelliSense support is limited or non-existent. This is because these cells are treated as plain text, and the notebook interface doesn't parse the SQL context to provide intelligent code suggestions.

 

I’d also recommend submitting your detailed feedback and suggestions through Microsoft’s official channels, such as the Microsoft Fabric Ideas.  to help bring attention to this limitation.

 

 

Thanks,
