getting started with data factory
The experience you pasted https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/control-flow-power-query-activity is in Azure Data Factory product only.
In Fabric Data Factory, Power Query experience is in dataflow refer to Create your first Microsoft Fabric dataflow - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.
data source managment and connector types supported refer to Data source management - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn and Connector overview - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.
thx, so if we focus for a minute on azure data factory , why is it that im not seeing the ability to have the power query building experience shown at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/control-flow-power-query-activity ? is this the wrong forum for azure data factory? which is correct? frankly the fabric thing and which forum is which is quite confusing. when i go to the service (using this url https://app.powerbi.com/home ) i end up here https://app.powerbi.com/home?experience=power-bi .
and if we now focus on your fabric link, do i need to set up an account different from my azure tenant in order to follow the example there? If not, why dont i see the pbi icon or df experience in the pbi service? What is meant by "Switch to the Data factory or Power BI experience"? from where? and can i try this part of the fabric product out for free? will it replace azure df?
i assigned a data factory contributor role to myself in the azure portal and see nothing still. When i tried the link at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/get-started/fabric-trial#start-the-fabric-preview-trial to try the preview trial i land in pbi instead of where that learning item says i should. when i launch the df studio from the portal, i land in my df instance but again with no capability of a power query creation experience like the one i get in pbi desktop etc. can someone pls help.
