Hey,
I've integrated dataverse into fabric using Synapse link to automatically bring in all the tables into Fabric. However, the choice columns in the dataverse only return the integer ID of the choice. Is there anyway to bring in the name? If I query using powerquery, the names also return.
I wouldn't want to match all the codes up to the various choice tables as it would be a huge amount of work, but the choice tables dont come over with the tables either anyway, so currently there is no way to make this data usable. Hoping there is some switch I can turn on to bring this over?
SELECT [Base].accountid customerid
, 1 AS [CustomerEntityType]
, [Base].name [Customer Name]
, [Base].parentaccountidname [Parent Account]
, [Base].address1_city [City]
, [Base].address1_stateorprovince [State or Province]
, [Base].address1_country [Country]
, [Base].ownerid ownerid
, [Base].owneridname [Customer Owner]
, ISNULL(account_industrycode.value,'N/A') [Industry]
, [T].name AS [Territory]
, [T].[parentterritoryidname] [Parent Territory]
, ISNULL([T].[manageridname], 'No Territory Manager') [Territory Manager]
, [T].territoryid
, [Base].accountnumber AS [Customer ID]
, account_businesstypecode.value [Business Type]
FROM [account] AS Base
LEFT OUTER JOIN [territory] AS T
ON T.territoryid = Base.territoryid
LEFT JOIN [stringmap] AS account_industrycode
ON account_industrycode.langid = 1033
AND account_industrycode.objecttypecode = 'account'
AND account_industrycode.attributename = 'industrycode'
AND account_industrycode.attributevalue = [Base].industrycode
LEFT JOIN [stringmap] AS account_businesstypecode
ON account_businesstypecode.langid = 1033
AND account_businesstypecode.objecttypecode = 'account'
AND account_businesstypecode.attributename = 'businesstypecode'
AND account_businesstypecode.attributevalue = [Base].businesstypecode
WHERE
[Base].IsDelete IS NULL
This is the pattern I use - I only join on the values that I need at runtime since those labels can change independently of the record or I might want a different language represented in the report.
Thanks - whats frustrating about this though, is I can pull all the tables in powerquery with their string straight into fabric. If I use the synapse link, I need to write SQL queries for each table and column (we have 100s of tables), so its going to be a huge amount of work vs using a dataflow.
There is an approach to script the creation of views using this Script to Quickly Create Dataverse Views in Azure Synapse - with the Metadata Labels! | LinkedIn -
The fabric shortcuts will be a significantly more performant and near-realtime than anything created with dataflows. - but if your actual datasize is small enough that you can manage it with dataflows, use whatever works for you.

Also - I wrote up an example for getting the label values for multi-select fields.
Unpacking a Dataverse Multi-Select field in Fabric. | LinkedIn
I wrote a table-valued function that translates an integer option set lookup value into its display value. I am curious if there is an easier way to get at this without joining to the OptionSet table for each option.
Ah, i missed the optionset table! At least its possible, but also quite frustrating given the 1000s of columns we'd need to match back. Out of curiousity, what was the function you wrote?
Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.
At this time, we are reaching out to the internal team to get some help on this.
We will update you once we hear back from them.
Appreciate your patience.
Thanks
