Fabric Data Science Tutorial - Sample Data not accessible

Hi Savio_FERNANDES,
Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

I was able to reproduce your scenario and successfully downloaded the sample dataset (churn.csv) as referenced in the tutorial. Here’s what I did:

• Created a Lakehouse in Power BI Service.
• Used the following code (as in the tutorial):

import os, requests

if not IS_CUSTOM_DATA:

    remote_url = "https://synapseaisolutionsa.blob.core.windows.net/public/bankcustomerchurn"

    file_list = [DATA_FILE]

    download_path = f"{DATA_ROOT}/{DATA_FOLDER}/raw"



    if not os.path.exists("/lakehouse/default"):

        raise FileNotFoundError("Default lakehouse not found, please add a lakehouse and restart the session.")

   

    os.makedirs(download_path, exist_ok=True)

    for fname in file_list:

        if not os.path.exists(f"{download_path}/{fname}"):

            r = requests.get(f"{remote_url}/{fname}", timeout=30)

            with open(f"{download_path}/{fname}", "wb") as f:

                f.write(r.content)

    print("Downloaded demo data files into lakehouse.")

This successfully created the churn.csv file in the Lakehouse > Files > raw folder.

Also note: The URL used to download the file
“https://synapseaisolutionsa.blob.core.windows.net/public/bankcustomerchurn/churn.csv” appears accessible from notebook environments, even though it is not publicly browsable in a web browser.

Further if any tutorial’s sample data URL remains inaccessible and no updated dataset is available publicly, you can report this issue via the feedback links on the tutorial page.
