Update only specific table after translytical task flow

[ThomasF]

I'm trying to use translytical flows to writeback into Fabric Sql and the writeback works but after I only have the option to reload the entire data model.

I would like for just a specific table to automatically update in my semantic model that is in import mode. what would be the best way to achieve this?

Hi @ThomasF,

Here's some quick steps to get the behaviour you are needing: 

1. Best fit for most teams: Chain a Semantic model refresh pipeline step and select only the table you changed. In Fabric Data Factory, add the “Semantic model refresh” activity and, under Settings, choose the specific tables/partitions to refresh (no need to refresh the whole model). Docs: Semantic model refresh activity
2. Trigger straight from your user data function: Call the Enhanced Refresh REST API immediately after the writeback and pass an objects array that lists just your table. This avoids a full model refresh. Requires PPU/Premium. Docs: Enhanced refresh (table/partition-level)
3. If you prefer XMLA/TMSL: Execute a TMSL refresh that targets only your table or partition (via XMLA endpoint, Premium/PPU). Useful if you already automate with SSMS/PowerShell. Docs: TMSL Refresh command
