Table in Lakehouse as dataset/semantic model

Hello,

 

I am looking to see if I can create a semantic model in Workspace A using the table from a Lakehouse in Workspace B?

 

Workspace A is for business user to diegest the data to build their own reports, while Worspace B is for developer.

 

The current solution I tried is to create another Lakehouse in Workspace A and using datapipeline to copy data from Workspace B to A. But would like to see if there's a way get it done without a Lakehouse in Workspace A.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

  • Hi,

     

    That's a very good question. Currently, Fabric doesn't support to create a semantic model from another workspace. It gives you option to select another workspace but only display the list of objects from the current workspace. 

     

    I would suggest you to use/create Shortcut in Lakehouse(workspace B) instead of copying the data using Data Pipeline. Then, you can create a Semantic model from the lakehouse in workspace B.

    Above image is a sign showing it's a shortcut table from another lakehouse.

     

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos !!
