Changing the data destination in a dataflow

Hi pmscorca 

 

Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.

Apologies for the delay in response.

Thank you frithjof_v for sharing the details,

In addition, When you change the data destination in a dataflow, Fabric does automatically suggest a mapping of columns based on the source and destination schema. This auto-mapping feature can save a lot of time and effort. In most cases, the suggested mapping is accurate, and you only need to review and adjust it as needed. You don't need to manually map every single column, which would indeed be tedious.

So, in your case, when you change the data destination for debug purposes, you can simply review the suggested column mapping and make any necessary adjustments. This should be a relatively quick and straightforward process.

 

While the automatic suggestions can save time, it's important to consider the two limitations:

Verification Needed: Even though Dataflow suggests mappings, it's crucial to review them before finalizing. The suggestions might not always be perfect, especially for complex data structures or when column names don't match exactly between source and destination.

Incomplete Mapping: Automatic suggestions might not map all columns from the source. You might need to manually map additional columns if they're relevant for your debugging purpose.

 

I hope this information helps.

 

Thank you.
