Same problem here. Been like this for around 5 weeks. Disappointing and hopefully not a removal of a datamart feature post-introduction of fabric

    I have a temporary workaround:

    • build your view using the visual query in the datamart
    • once the view is functionnal clic the View SQL button : copy the query
    • open a new excel workbook
    • In Excel: Data / New Query / From Database / From SQL Server Database
    • Enter the Datamat SQL End point information (Server name / database name), il you do not know seach in Datamart settings / server settings (to know the database name you have to connect with a database browser tool like SSMS)
    • Paste the SQL query and import in the spreadsheet

    Hope its clear for everybody

      Thanks odorschner! Indeed this is an effective workaround, I've been using a similar path pasting the queries in workbooks previously downloaded when the feature still worked. It works fine for me but is kind of a wall for bussiness units self service, since it requires some knowledge. I am expecting a feedback today from Microsoft support and will update any news here!

    We have been experiencing this problem for the same time, I had a session yesterday with microsoft support and they got my browser logs to see if it's something in their backend. No solutions yet.
