Power BI + Fabric MCP: What It Can Do, What It Can't, and How to Set It Up
Event Details: Date: 29 August 2026 Time: 6:30 PM IST Speaker: Natarajan Manivasagan | LinkedIn Profile About the Event: Microsoft has shipped MCP servers for Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, opening up a new way for AI agents to work directly with semantic models and workspace items. This session is a practical introduction to integrating these new capabilities into your workflow. We will explore what MCP is, how to set it up, and what it makes possible in real work - from semantic model development to workspace management through natural language. What we will cover: The Fundamentals: What MCP is and how it differs from a traditional REST API. Microsoft's Offerings: An overview of the available MCP servers for Power BI and Fabric, and the specific use cases for each. Setup & Integration: How to configure these servers with the tools you already use. Real-World Applications: Managing semantic models and workspaces using natural language. Honest Boundaries: A realistic look at the current limitations of this public preview so you can avoid wasted effort. Who should attend: Power BI Developers Data Analysts Data Engineers Anyone looking for a grounded view of how AI agents fit into a real data workflow Are you based out of India?

Event Details: Date: 19 September Time: 11:00 AM IST Speaker: Naveen Nagar | LinkedIn Profile About the Event: In today's data-driven world, organizations increasingly need to make sense of high-volume, fast-moving data - sensor telemetry, clickstreams, transactions, and logs - before the opportunity to act on it passes. Join us for this technical meetup as we explore Fabric Eventhouse, Microsoft Fabric's purpose-built engine for real-time analytics. This session will move beyond traditional batch pipelines to demonstrate a modern, low-latency data architecture where streaming data is captured, indexed, and made queryable within seconds. We will walk through a complete real-time data flow - from a live streaming source, into Eventhouse, and out to every consuming engine in Fabric via OneLake - without data duplication or performance trade-offs. What we will cover: Architecture: An end-to-end walkthrough of a real-time pipeline built on Fabric Eventstream, Eventhouse, and OneLake. Eventstream & Ingestion: How Eventstream captures, transforms, and routes streaming events from sources such as Azure Event Hub, IoT Hub, and CDC connectors into Eventhouse. Eventhouse & KQL Database: How KQL databases automatically index and time-partition data on arrival, and how update policies and materialized views enrich and aggregate data as it lands. OneLake Availability: How a single copy of streaming data becomes instantly available to Power BI, Warehouses, Notebooks, and Lakehouses through OneLake, eliminating the need for separate ETL copies. Live Demo: A practical, live walkthrough showing data flow from a streaming source, through Eventstream, into Eventhouse, out to OneLake, and into a live Power BI report in near real-time. This session is designed for: Data Engineers & Architects working with streaming data Power BI Developers & Fabric Users Analytics teams building real-time or near-real-time dashboards Anyone evaluating Microsoft Fabric's Real-Time Intelligence capabilitiesBuilding an Enterprise Data Platform in Fabric An End-to-End Case Study

Starting with data from multiple source systems, we'll build a Medallion architecture, orchestrate data pipelines, transform data using notebooks, and deliver business insights through Power BI while discussing key design decisions along the way.Fabric User Group Pune kickoff
Fabric User Group Pune kickoff Sunday, June 28 · 12:00 – 1:00pm Time zone: Asia/Kolkata Google Meet joining info Video call link: https://meet.google.com/hzz-pyqm-qzx RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/microsoft-fabric-user-group-pune/events/315384084 Welcome to the very first meetup of the Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune! ? We're kicking off a community for data professionals, analysts, engineers, and enthusiasts across Pune who want to learn, share, and grow together in the Microsoft Fabric and Power BI ecosystem Looking forward to building this community together. See you on the 28th! Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune | Part of the global Fabric communityDP-600 Design and manage semantic models in Microsoft Fabric Part-1
Event 2 — Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune Building Enterprise-Grade Semantic Models in Power BI & Microsoft Fabric Part 1 *** You've built Power BI reports. You know DAX. But are your semantic models truly production-ready? In this session we go beyond the basics — covering what it actually takes to design semantic models that your entire organisation can rely on at scale. From writing efficient DAX logic to locking down data access, optimising query performance, and managing your model through its full lifecycle — this is the session for BI developers ready to level up. What we'll cover: Designing DAX logic that's clean, consistent, and maintainable Performance tuning — diagnosing and fixing slow queries Row-Level Security and object-level security for governed data access Automated lifecycle management — deployments, versioning, and CI/CD for semantic models This session is best suited for you if: You've built reports in Power BI and are comfortable with the basics You understand DAX — measures, calculated columns, and how they behave You have a grounding in dimensional modelling — star schemas, relationships, and grain *** Date:4th July 2026 Time:12:00 PM Online — link will be shared soon Free to attend *** Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune — Learn.

Event 3 - Microsoft Fabric User Group Pune DP-600 Exam Prep: Fabric Lakehouse, Warehouse and Notebooks Most Power BI developers know the report layer cold. But the DP-600 exam - and real-world Fabric implementations - demand something more: a deep understanding of how data lands, transforms, and gets served from the platform beneath your reports. This session is built for practitioners preparing for the Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer (DP-600) certification who want to go beyond theory and understand how Lakehouse, Warehouse, and Notebooks fit together in a production Fabric architecture. What we will cover: Fabric Lakehouse - OneLake architecture, Delta Lake format, shortcuts, and how Lakehouse underpins the entire Fabric data platform Fabric Data Warehouse - When to choose Warehouse over Lakehouse, T-SQL capabilities, cross-database queries, and warehouse-to-semantic model patterns Fabric Notebooks - PySpark, Spark SQL, and Python in Fabric notebooks, Delta table operations, and how notebooks connect to Lakehouse as a data engineering tool Lakehouse vs. Warehouse - Decision Framework - The real architectural question every DP-600 candidate needs to answer confidently This session is best suited for you if: You are preparing for the DP-600 Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer exam You work in Power BI and want to understand the Fabric data layer beneath semantic models You are a data engineer or BI developer exploring Microsoft Fabric for the first time You want a practical, architecture-first walkthrough - not just a slide-by-slide exam dump Intermediate session - basic familiarity with Power BI or SQL is expected.

Join us for this deep-dive technical meetup where we will unveil a Generic Commentary Framework for Power BI using Fabric User-Defined Functions (UDFs) and Databricks. In this session, we will explore how to bridge the gap between read-only business intelligence and write-back functionality using a modern, low-latency data architecture. We will walk through the implementation of a Transanalytical Task Flow—a design pattern that seamlessly unifies transactional updates (capturing user comments) with analytical workloads (instantly reflecting those updates in Power BI dashboards) without compromising performance. What we will cover: --Architecture:During the event, we will cover the end-to-end architecture of the Commentary Framework using Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, and Power BI. ---Fabric UDF:We will discuss leveraging Custom/User-Defined Functions within the Fabric ecosystem to process and route text data efficiently, ----Databricks Integration:how Databricks orchestrates data transformations and manages the underlying data tier. -----Transanalytical Task Flows:You will also learn about balancing operational updates and fast analytical queries seamlessly using Transanalytical Task Flows, ------Live Demo: A live demo showing a practical walkthrough of a user entering data or commentary and seeing it flow straight into a Power BI visual in near real-time.
