Fabric Data Science Tutorial - Sample Data not accessible
Hi there v-ssriganesh,
The issue has not been resolved. It has been acknowledged by the Product Group. They have confirmed that blob access is closed due to new security requirements. PG is actively working to come up with an alternative approach.
They have asked for some more time to share an update.

Hello all,
The support engineer was able to direct me to tutorials that have valid blob links to access the sample datasets.
Within Fabric, choose a workload (in this case I chose Data Science). Then "Select" Explore a Sample.
Then choose the sample notebook of interest:
And run the code.
What is different is the remote_url. "https://synapseaisolutionsa.z13.web.core.windows.net/data/bankcustomerchurn"
This URL is publicly available and produces the correct rows of data within the churn.csv file.
Microsoft will need to update the links in their Learn.com tutorials + GitHub Sample Notebooks.
suparnababu8 v-ssriganesh Thank you for your time on this.

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.
If this information is helpful, please “Accept as solution” and give a "kudos" to assist other community members in resolving similar issues more efficiently.
Thank you.
Hello v-ssriganesh
Up to this fine the code is executing. But later when we are trying to display the result. It's throwing error in the result output table. Please follow below chat carefully.
Thank you!
