Microsoft Fabric Tech
Microsoft Fabric is changing the way we think about modern data engineering. Instead of stitching together separate tools for ingestion, transformation, storage, orchestration, governance, and reporting, Fabric brings the entire workflow into one unified ecosystem. A typical Fabric data engineering journey can look like: 🔹 Ingest data using Data Pipelines, Dataflows Gen2, or streaming 🔹 Store and organize it in OneLake and Lakehouse 🔹 Transform at scale with Spark, SQL, and Notebooks 🔹 Orchestrate workflows with Data Pipelines 🔹 Serve trusted data through Power BI and semantic models 🔹 Monitor, govern, and deploy using Monitoring Hub, Purview, Git, and deployment pipelines The interesting part isn't any single feature — it's how naturally these components work together across the complete data lifecycle. OneLake underneath. Multiple workloads on top. One connected data platform.
Stacked Column Chart Data Limit Issue
I am encountering an issue with a stacked column chart in Power BI. Even though my data source only contains 200 rows, I'm still seeing the "i" icon (indicating a data limit issue). My x-axis shows phases, and my y-axis represents indexes (used as the legend to create the stack). I need the columns to be stacked as they currently are, but I'm unsure why this error is occurring with such a small dataset and how to resolve it.
Architecture Patterns for Healthcare Data Platforms on Fabric
Architecture patterns for healthcare data platforms include building unified data foundations in Microsoft Fabric, where unified data is foundational to scaling AI effectively and Microsoft Fabric simplifies the analytics stack and accelerates time to value. What to include: Bronze → Silver → Gold Lakehouse layers Medallion architecture for clinical data Security boundary using Fabric WorkspacesAgent skills for Fabric CLI
As I've been working on efficiently using the Fabric CLI with coding agents (GitHub Copilot, Codex), I've come up with the following repo. In this repo, I created skills that you can install locally, and your coding agent can pick them up depending on the context. For example, if you want to get details about a recent failed pipeline, you can ask your agent: "What was the cause of my pipeline 'bronze_load' in the playground workspace?" It will automatically pick up the fab-job-ops skill and dig into the root cause of the pipeline's failure. Under the hood, it uses the Fabric CLI. For installing all necessary dependencies, see the README of the repo. The simplest way is to clone the repo and install the skills first. After that, use the fab-bootstrap skill to install the Fabric CLI and authenticate against Fabric. From there on, it’s only up to your imagination what you want to create. For example, you could say: "Create a logistics workspace attached to my capacity and generate dummy data. Create bronze, silver, and gold schema." There are also conventions baked in, such as naming conventions for folders, items, columns, and more. Additionally, when modeling a semantic model, several common best practices are already included. GitHub repository: dc-floriangaerner/fab-cli-skills
Idea: Box and Whisker or Violin Plot Visuals as Standard Visuals
While there are third-party visualizations for Box and Whisker or Violin Plot visuals, some organizations don't allow the installation of third-party sources. Box and Whiskey or Violin Plot are very useful for understanding the mean, upper/lower quartile, and the max/min values of a dataset. Example might be HEDIS quality performance, BMI, paid per procedure -- all to better understand clinical variation in the community and within medical service centers. Box and whisker plots are frequently used visualizations in academic literature.
Datacomplexity
Hello! I am new to Power BI and trying to do somethign quite complicated - or so I believe. I have two columns, one with let's say 'numbers X'. I have another column with let's say 'numbers Y'. I would like to return all X values with the same Y value for selected values in column 'numbers X', but not returning a repeat within a selected value from 'numbers X'. The issue I am running into is the lookup function is returning a repeat selected value for itself. See example below. '1' and '2' would be returned because it was found with same 'numbers Y'. '4' would not be returned because 'numbers Y' did not have a repeat value outside of itself.
