    Hello Ashwinc91191,

     

    Thanks for your question, Visual Query in Microsoft Fabric is a no-code experience to query and analyze data within a Microsoft Fabric Warehouse, SQL analytics endpoint, or Mirrored Database. It uses a drag-and-drop interface (based on the Power Query diagram view) to perform data transformations without writing T-SQL.

     

    It could be used by business users, who are not familiar with Code experiences, here are some use cases : 

    Use Cases

    • Data Merging: Joining a sales table (FactSale) with a geography table (DimCity) using a common key to analyze revenue by region without writing JOIN statements.

    • No-Code Reporting: An analyst can transform data visually and then use the "Visualize results" button to immediately build a Power BI report.

    • Rapid Prototyping: Quickly filtering and aggregating large datasets to verify data quality before committing to a formal SQL view.

    • Cross-Departmental Analysis: Merging marketing data from one warehouse with sales data from another to find correlations between campaigns and conversions.
