Dynamic data type getting converted to String while creating shortcut of KQL db in lakehouse

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am storing decimal values in double data type in KQL db while loading the realtime data using eventstream which is getting stored in dynamic data type in KQL db but it is getting converted into string while creating a shortcut of KQL db in lakehouse in fabric. 

Can anybody help me with the reason why this is happening or any workaround to store the dynamic data type of KQL db in decimal format in the lakehouse.

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Real-time data transformations can be performed using Eventstream's event processor and the processed data can be seamlessly directed to a KQL database.

For more details, you can refer to below document:

My problem is that when I am loading a decimal value to KQL db asa double data type value, it is getting converted to dynamic data type. This dynamic data type is getting converted to a string value when we create shortcut for KQL db in the lakehouse and I need this value in decimal data type as I want to show trends of it by using line charts in Power BI report.
