💰 FinanceDemo – 5-Minute Low-Code Finance Demos with Microsoft Fabric
Hi Community,
I have put together a small FinanceDemo repo to help finance professionals and Fabric beginners explore Workspaceswith simple, hands-on examples.
📂 What’s inside:
A tiny Excel dataset (FinanceDemo.xlsx) with Transactions + Budget
5 quick demos (all under 5 minutes):
1️⃣ End-of-Month Automation (no code, pipelines + OneLake)
2️⃣ Budget vs Actual (DAX)
3️⃣ Month-over-Month Growth (DAX)
4️⃣ SQL – Monthly Aggregation
5️⃣ Notebook – Budget vs Actual (Python)
📊 Outputs include: Budget vs Actual visuals, MoM growth %, SQL aggregation results, and notebook charts.
👉 Repo here: Finance-Fabric-Demos
💡 Why Workspaces?
Everything runs directly inside your Fabric Workspace — upload the dataset once, then try DAX, SQL, and Notebooks in the same environment. Perfect for quick demos, learning, or introducing finance teams to Fabric without advanced coding.
Would love feedback and suggestions — especially on extending these mini demos into more advanced workspace pipelines.
