Can I use Fabric to centralise measures?

Hi All,

 

Having a central data source is one thing, but when we want to utilise the same measures again and again (across different reports) and have version control on these measures, I have not been able to find a solution for this.

 

First, has anyone solved this problem?

Second, is it possible to somehow use the new functionality in Fabric to achieve this?

What a great question.  It touches on the difference between Data Warehouses (which kind include measures) and Data Lakes (which kind don't), on Data Governance, Stewardship, Provenance and Ownership.  Throw in a little Purview and you have yourself a party.

 

Anyway - can it be done?  Maybe.  Will it be done? I'll believe it when I see it.
