    Hi DanielAmbler 

     

    Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.

    While you mentioned using "delta" format for writing, ensure the data format in the table is compatible with Lakehouse Explorer's preview functionality. When you write your DataFrame to the Lakehouse as a Delta table, there might be a mismatch between the data types in your DataFrame and the data types expected by Lakehouse Explorer for displaying the table schema.

    If a column in your DataFrame contains data of a type not natively supported by Lakehouse Explorer for previewing, it could cause issues when expanding the table columns. For example, complex data types like nested structures might not be easily displayed. Before writing to Delta format, inspect the data types of each column in your DataFrame.

    I hope this information helps.

     

    Thank you.
