Hi , everyone

 I created  2 lake house as Bronse Lake house  and SlverLake House   after all the transformation

 also    Create  ex , Distrbution Gold Warehouse                                    

I need to reference some tablefrom from silver lake house to distgoldwarehouse  by using the SHORTCUT  inestead of using dataflow Gen2 or datapipeline

Thanks

If you want to create shortcuts from the Warehouse to the Lakehouse you won't be able to as that's currently not supported.

Is there a reason you're using a Warehouse in the gold layer? You could use a lakehouse in the gold layer and create shortcuts to the silver lakehouse from there if that fits your scenario

Hi @Mohammed- ,

You can add a Lakehouse to Warehouse for cross querying. Click on the '+ Warehouse' button and then you can add a SQL Endpoint of Lakehouse to it. 

But you cannot add tables directly from Lakehouse into a Semantic Model of Warehouse. For that, you can create new Views in Warehouse on top of the Lakehouse tables and those views can be added to the Semantic model.

That is interesting.

I guess the view cannot be queried in Direct Lake mode, I guess Power BI queries to a SQL view will fall back to DirectQuery.

Still, it is interesting that you can add the Lakehouse table to the Data Warehouse semantic model in this way.

Thanks for your reply

The Reason for use warehouse there is some issues in lakehouse like

date table cant be mark as date table in tyhe model

i cant sort table by column in the column tool

my scenarioto create 2 layer in whatever lakehouse or warehouse  , if i used dataflow gen2 or data pipeline to move data from silver to gold  i have to make copy of the common  tables which will be used in both gold layer

Thanks

Hi @Mohammed- 

Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Currently Shortcuts can be created only in Lakehouse but not in Warehouse. You cannot reference data from Lakehouse to Warehouse without using a pipeline or dataflow.
