Lineage in Purview
Can we extract lineage in Purview for below fabric items :
1. Datamart
2. Dashboard
3. Dataset
4. Spark Job Defination
Can anyone help me in this ?
Hi Anonymous
Thank you for reaching out microsoft fabric community forum.
As nilendraFabric mentioned Yes, you can extract lineage for those fabric items in Microsoft Purview- Purview can capture lineage for data moving through your datamart, showing how data is transformed and processed.
- Purview integrates with visualization platforms like Power BI to capture lineage of data used in dashboards.
- Purview can track lineage for datasets, showing their origin, transformations, and how they are used.
- Purview can capture lineage for Spark jobs, detailing the data inputs, transformations, and outputs
Please refer the documentation for more information.

hello Anonymous
yes this is available as part of integration
https://docs.azure.cn/en-us/purview/how-to-lineage-powerbi
Once the scan of your Power BI is complete, following Power BI artifacts will be inventoried in Microsoft Purview:
- Workspaces
- Dashboards
- Reports
- Datasets
- Dataflows
- Datamart
Spark Job Definitions, only item-level metadata and lineage are captured; sub-level details (e.g., table-level or file-level lineage) are not yet supported)
Known limitations- Currently for all Fabric items besides Power BI, only item level metadata and lineage will be scanned. Scanning metadata and lineage of sub level items like Lakehouse tables or files isn't yet supported
- For non-Power BI Fabric items, external data sources as upstream sources in lineage aren't yet supported
- Cross workspace lineage for non-Power BI items isn't supported
- Notebook -> Pipeline lineage isn't supported
please accept this answer and give kudos if this is helpfulHi,
I was wondering what about column level lineage? Becuase I just scanned my PowerBi semantic model and i see that the lineage showing is only on the artefact level meaning model → dataset → report and no way to see the lineage in column level, because I'll like to see what columns nourishes the dataset and then the reports.
Is this possible? or is there any walkaround to get to this result.Thanks in advance
