semantic link cross platform
Thanks for the confirmation. I really don't need to use semantic link but I do need query the semantic layer in databricks from fabric.
The true alternative of semantic link is executeQueries Endpoint of the rest api. But the the response returned could be partial dataset as well as AFAIK, and a fetch inside do-while loop needs to be engineered, which is easy to do if the dataset has date parameters or integers, else need to be creatively engineered. I can live with that fir the moment. But I hope there is a better databricks alternative for semantic layer.
should be possible. At the end of the day sempy is just a wrapper around the Fabric REST API calls.
"At the end of the day sempy is just a wrapper around the Fabric REST API calls" - At a first glance, it appears so. But I think sempy is more than just that in a sense that it does not have the same limitation of
/executeQueries . So it has an edge over REST API.
AFAIK from documentation, it appears
read_write_pbi_sempy > read_write_pbi_sparkread-write-power-bi-spark (same as REST API)

I am not interested in config the REST API in databricks, rather to find a way (if possible) to install and execute sempy directly from databricks notebook.
