Updating Semantic Models in Notebooks with Semantic Link

amcpherson — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:07:16 GMT

Hello All,

Is anyone using Semantic Link in notebooks to update Semantic Models? We are working on a template-based reporting structure that is going to be deployed at scale and want to manage updates programmatically using semantic link. I keep running into an error on the write however that seems to be endpoint related. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

try this

import sempy.fabric as fabric
import sempy_labs as labs
from sempy_labs.tom import connect_semantic_model

dataset_name = "YourSemanticModelName"
model = connect_semantic_model(dataset_name)

measure = model.tables["YourTable"].measures["YourMeasure"]
measure.description = "New description"

model.save_changes()
