Fabric Data Science Tutorial - Sample Data not accessible

Savio_FERNANDES — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 01:42:09 GMT

Hello there,

I am attempting to complete the Data Science Tutorial in Fabric:

Tutorial: Ingest data into a lakehouse - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

However, when running the notebook to ingest the file from the blob url it creates a Churn.csv file with the following content:

<Error>

<Code>PublicAccessNotPermitted</Code>

<Message>Public access is not permitted on this storage account. RequestId:e3d06c81-e01e-0022-504c-d7244a000000 Time:2025-06-07T01:36:23.6661541Z</Message>

</Error>

The URL provided in the tutorial is:

https://synapseaisolutionsa.blob.core.windows.net/public/bankcustomerchurn

Pasting this URL in the browser also shows the same message.

Unsure how to proceed. Are these sample datasets housed anywhere else?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi Savio_FERNANDES

I replicted your scenario. It's loading csv file, but when accessing the csv file it's throwing an error.like you mentioned. Please have a look on below image

Requesting CST team to assist on this. Let's wait for CST team to respond on this.

Thank you!

Hello there! Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

I did have a lakehouse attached and I did run the code. The code runs. Yes it creates a Churn.csv file for me as well. But did you look inside the Churn.csv file? (EDIT: ah I see that you have, thanks for checking). It doesn't have data. It has that error message inside the Churn file.

Also, even if I wanted to get the file manually where would I get it? It isn't reachable.

Hi Savio_FERNANDES

Yes, Agree. I ran the csv file to display. it's throwing error. I altered my reply above. Pls refresh the page and have a look.

Ahhh thanks for confirming 🙂 I thought I was going crazy.

Once again thank you for taking the time.

Will wait for the CST team.

suparnababu8 who is the CST team? I'm not aware of the acronym.

Also, all the files from all of these tutorials are not reachable. They all have the same issue/error. I believe that the blob that was storing these sample files has been made private.

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.

Hi there,

Thank you for the time you took to answer and reproduce.

However, if you take the next step to inspect the churn.csv file that you downloaded/created, you will see that there is no sample data inside it.

As I mentioned I am able to create the churn.csv file, but the content/data is not available to us.

This issue was also reproduced and confirmed by the other super user below.

Could you please inspect the content of the file and confirm whether or not you have sample data (rows) inside it?

Thanks,

Savio.

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!

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.

Savio.

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.
Savio.

The issue has still not been resolved. I have ran into the same error as well and it has not been able to be resolved regardless of whatever technique I have applied.

Hello,

I am still encountering the same issue even after editing and updating the link to the file using the publicly accessible link. Has anyone solved this issue?

Thanks,

Ugh! Yeah, this is still an issue several months later. I was able to find a version of the file for a tutorial demo I was working with that required this file on GitHub. Here is a link, I hope someone else finds this helpful as well.

dp-data/churn.csv at main · MicrosoftLearning/dp-data · GitHub

Best of luck!
