Hi,
I'd like to know if a notebook could be parameterized and how.
Any suggests to me, please? Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @pmscorca ,
Yes, you can parameterize notebooks in Fabric Lakehouse, I have two ways here.
1. You can pass parameters from a data pipeline to a notebook in Fabric Lakehouse:
In the notebook, define the parameters you want. Make sure to select the Toggle Parameter Cell option under More Commands.
In the pipeline, add a Notebook activity and select the notebook you created.
In the Settings tab of the Notebook activity, under the Parameters section, add the parameters you want to pass to the notebook. Make sure the parameter names match the parameter names in the notebook.
2. You can also configure the default lakehouse programmatically by passing parameters to the cell:
Define the parameters in the notebook:
# Parameters
defaultLakehouseName = "MyLakehouse"
defaultLakehouseId = "12345"
Set the parameters using %%configure:
%%configure
{
"defaultLakehouse": {
"name": {"parameterName": "defaultLakehouseName", "defaultValue": "MyLakehouse"},
"id": {"parameterName": "defaultLakehouseId", "defaultValue": "12345"}
}
}
For more information on parameterized session configuration, see the following documentation:
