Import notebook from .py file
Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your response! You’re right when exporting a Fabric notebook as a .py file and re-importing it, Fabric does not automatically split it into multiple cells. Currently, Fabric only maintains cell structure when working with .ipynb files.
If you need to frequently transfer notebooks, I recommend working with .ipynb instead of .py for seamless import/export.
I agree that Fabric should ideally recognize its own .py format properly. If this is an important workflow for you, I encourage you to share your feedback and vote for this idea on the Power BI Ideas Forum:🔗 Home, This helps the Microsoft team prioritize feature enhancements based on user demand.

Thank you.
Thanks for your reply!
I don't want the code as module.
I know I can modify the code to be recognized correctly as several notebook cells, but that's exactly what I hoped to avoid. Also, as far as I can tell, if I download a notebook as .py, and upload the result, it also gets put into a single cell. So Fabric doesn't even recognize its own formatting and only the .ipynb-format is correctly recognized upon import. Or am I missing something?
