One of the biggest challenges in Microsoft Fabric today is the one branch per workspace limitation, which makes it difficult to work on multiple feature branches simultaneously without creating separate workspaces. To address this, I propose Fabric Desktop, a local development environment that allows users to build and test Fabric artifacts offline before syncing changes to a workspace. Fabric Desktop could function similarly to Power BI Desktop but for Fabric, enabling users to develop lakehouses, dataflows, pipelines, and notebooks locally while integrating seamlessly with version control. This would provide a true branching experience, where multiple developers can work on different features without conflicting changes in a shared workspace. It would also improve offline development, reduce the risk of unintended modifications in production workspaces, and offer faster iteration cycles.   whos with me to upvote this one!?  ... View more

Make it possible to write SparkSQL without having a Default Lakehouse.   With 3- or 4- part naming, i.e. [workspace].[lakehouse].[schema].[table]    there should be no need to attach a Lakehouse in order to use SparkSQL.   Needing to attach a Lakehouse is annoying and adds extra complexity. ...

I am writing to bring to your attention an issue with the representation of India's map in Power BI. The current depiction does not accurately include Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and the Chushul region of Ladakh as part of India, which is incorrect and does not align with India's official territorial boundaries. It is crucial that such representations adhere to the officially recognized map of India to maintain accuracy, compliance, and sensitivity to geopolitical considerations. I kindly request you to take immediate corrective action to ensure that the map correctly reflects India's full territorial integrity. ... View more

Dear community, Do you also face the challenge that you upload csv-files and need to monitor manually if the file was modified? Then you manually start the process to have the current data available in your tables/data models/reports?   In the documentation it is explained that a action can be triggered by "if the the file is created or replaced"; this only happens when the file is really uploaded manually (or by a notebook) in the browser in onelake in fabric. If it is only changed in the onelake file explorer for windows preview feature plus saved there, ONLY the activation details arrive but NO action is triggered.   It would be nice to have a possibility to trigger an action when the data within the file is modified. ...

Hey fabric community, I think it'd be really nice to be able to select some activities in your pipeline and, e.g. select "deactivate other activities" so only activities you want to test on remain active for testing purposes. I believe this feature would improve development and test times compared to individually activating/deactivating activities especially is the pipeline is a complex one. ... View more

Hi,   Currently, it is not possible to trigger a Fabric notebook run via the REST API, when the notebook is communicating with a lakehouse that has schemas enabled.   This feature is marked as 'Public preview', but there are several threads suggesting a fix would have been in place by late 2024: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Engineering/Error-when-writing-data-into-schema-enabled-lakehouse-using/td-p/4111069   The workaround suggested does not work either. It seems very strange that it works without the schemas enabled. The underlying issue seems to be:   INFO notebookUtils [Thread-62]: [FabricClient][ListWorkspaceByMssparkutils][get] Completed request url https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/ with correlation id X, requestId: X, activityId: , status code: 403, total cost 173ms, request cost 166ms   A timeline of when this feature would be supported will be appreciated.   Regards,   Oliver ...

It seems possible to store >8000 chars in columns in Fabric Lakehouse tables. But the field content is truncated to 8000 characters when querying the table through the SQL analytics endpoint.   Additionally it would be welcome if the actual size is also exposed in the SQL analytics endpoint. Currently a field created with varchar(40) will show up as varchar(8000) in the SQL analytics endpoint. ... View more

Now that maninpulating geospatial data with the Esri component is available, visualisation is quite limited for Notebook users.   Please could you look at supporting kepergl widgets for really super flexible visualisations of dataframes that have geometries (points, lines or polygons) on top of basemaps   Jupyter Notebook | kepler.gl   I want to emphasize that this would not be a replacement or competition for visualising outputs of data engineering in PowerBI or ArcGIS - being able to effectively visualise during the data engineering process is critical for iteration as you scale operations like joins - kepler enables quick diagnostic visualisations that you're achieving what you're setting out to.   it should be very easy to install and run (in either a python or a pyspark runtime - installation seems to work already, but the widget does not render in the browser:      Leaflet maps works, but please could you look into enabling keplergl, like databricks mosaic library has done?

When I open a Notebook, it automatically opens the expanded Explorer pane (to the left). I rarely use this, so every time I open a Notebook I have to: - Collapse the Explorer pane (to the left) - Click on the View tab in the ribbon (at the tip) - Open the Table of contents pane (to the right) - Wait for the Table of contents to load   I would like to be able to persist the view/layout for each notebook (or alternatively as a user setting) so the next time I open the notebook I will by default see the Table of contents instead of the expanded Explorer pane.   (Additionally, I would love to be able to move the panes between the left and right sides, but that's less important.)   This would be a quality of life improvement that would save developers time and make the development experience much smoother. ...
