Understanding Attention Mechanisms and Transformers for Data Science in Microsoft Fabric
In this edition, we’re exploring attention mechanisms and why they became such a big deal in modern deep learning. By the time you reach the end, you will have a clear sense of what problem attention was meant to solve, why older sequence models struggled, and how attention fits naturally inside transformer models using a torch-style way of thinking.Fabric IQ: from booked hours to next year's forecast
You might remember that the first time you asked an AI agent about next year's project hours, it told you it could not predict the future. Fair enough. It had historical data, not a forecast. In this build, we gave it one. Fabric Plan generated monthly forecasts from booked hours. We wrote those values back to a database, connected them to the business entities in an ontology, and let a data agent answer questions about them. That distinction matters. Predict produced the numbers. The data agent retrieved and explained them. The interesting part was getting those pieces to agree on what "forecast" meant. We used synthetic planning, procurement and maintenance data. Forecasting connected the planning model, ontology and agents. Live telemetry and graph exploration showed where the other pieces fit, and where they did not. Disclaimer: These are notes from a hands-on lab built on synthetic data, and the findings are our own. Fabric IQ features and limits change quickly, so treat the Microsoft Learn and official documentations in the references as the authoritative source. Put a forecast behind the question The starting point was a planning semantic model with actual booked hours by project, discipline and month. In Fabric Plan, closed periods took those actuals. Open periods held editable forecast values. We used Predict [1] to populate the open periods from historical data. For monthly forecasting, the current guidance calls for at least 24 months of history; some algorithms need more. Our sample history went back to September 2023. The forecast was then written to a Fabric SQL database and exposed through a OneLake shortcut in the gold lakehouse. We added a ProjectForecast entity to the ontology, linked to Project and Discipline. The data agents could now reach the forecast as data rather than being asked to invent it. The question became: Which projects have the most forecast hours in 2027? That has a queryable answer: select the forecast scenario, filter the year, group the detail rows by project and rank the totals. Writing back the forecast did not automatically add it to the original semantic model. We had to expose that new table deliberately. This demonstrated the workflow, not forecast accuracy. The data was synthetic, and we did not backtest the forecast against held-out actuals. A correct answer about stored predictions is a different test from whether those predictions will be useful. Two forecasts, two different questions The first problem was not statistical. It was vocabulary. Our planning semantic model already had a measure called Forecast Hours At Completion. It estimated total hours at completion from baseline hours and earned-value progress. It was not a month-by-month prediction. Asked for the 2027 forecast, the agent initially chose that measure, applied a 2027 filter and found nothing. The measure name sounded right. The meaning was wrong. We made the distinction explicit in the agent instructions: Monthly, yearly and future-period forecasts use the Plan forecast table. Estimates at completion and overruns use the earned-value measures. An unqualified "forecast" means the Plan forecast in this application, and the answer must say so. After that change, the next-year question returned the expected project ranking. The useful check was not whether the answer sounded confident. It was whether the selected source, filters and totals matched the query we expected. The at-completion estimate also used the current activity snapshot. A date filter did not turn it into a historical estimate. That was another definition worth stating rather than leaving the agent to infer. The writeback table needs rules Our writeback contained more than a tidy list of future values. It included actuals, forecast values, subtotal rows and blank cells. That creates several ways to get a plausible but wrong total. Summing detail and All subtotal rows double-counts hours. Selecting the wrong value column mixes up actuals and forecasts. Treating every blank as zero changes the meaning of missing or unpopulated values. For this table, the query needed to: Select the intended scenario and Hours Forecast value column. Exclude All subtotal rows from project, discipline, year and month. Filter the requested period and aggregate at the required grain. Preserve the distinction between a blank and a recorded zero. Those rules can live in source instructions, but a curated view is easier to reuse when several consumers need the same result. Either way, the agent needs to know what a row means before it starts adding rows together. Ontology adds meaning, not missing data The ontology integration with data agents [2] is in preview. It supplies entities, relationships, definitions and source bindings. The data agent uses that context to choose a source and generate SQL, KQL or DAX; the underlying source executes the query. That separation explained one of our early failures. The agent could see only part of the lakehouse, and the forecast binding pointed elsewhere. Adding business context could not compensate for tables it could not reach. We had to check the actual source configuration and table selection. There was a less obvious problem too. An AI-assisted ontology edit added the forecast entity but repointed a shared connection to the plan database. Other entities still depended on that connection reaching the gold lakehouse. The ontology opened normally; the saved definition exposed the mistake. We corrected the connection and bound ProjectForecast to the shortcut in gold. The lesson was practical: after changing an ontology, inspect the saved bindings and rerun representative questions. A successful edit message is not enough. Shared business meaning belongs in the ontology. Source-specific query guidance belongs with the source. Keeping those responsibilities clear is more useful than repeating the same join rules in every agent prompt. Test the answers, including the expected ones We used the data agent evaluation SDK [3], also in preview, to run question sets and save the results. SQL queries computed expected answers from the sample data, and a grader compared them with the agent responses. That made instruction changes testable. It also exposed a mistake in our test: a planning question used a definition of baseline hours that did not match the semantic model. The apparent agent failure was a disagreement about the expected answer. Query-derived expectations still need review. They stay tied to the data, but a wrong join or business definition will produce the wrong benchmark very consistently. For an ontology comparison, keep the sources, permissions, questions, runtime and expected answers constant. Comparing an agent with access to the full lakehouse against one that can see only a few tables tells you little about the value of the ontology. We also kept answer checking separate from presentation. Inspect the query, result and any generated code, not just the final paragraph. Save the configuration with the run so a later score is comparable. More guidance when needed, analysis after the query Two preview features helped beyond basic question answering. Topics [4] let the agent retrieve relevant sections of longer guidance rather than send all of it with every question. They currently apply to SQL sources on the preview runtime. Rules that always apply still belong in source instructions; detailed definitions can be grouped into topics. The run steps show which topic was opened. The code interpreter [5] works on retrieved data in a sandboxed Python environment. In the procurement demo, it produced a chart of late deliveries by supplier quality rating. That was easier to read than a long answer listing percentages. It can also combine results from multiple sources for analysis. That is different from a database query joining those sources, and it still requires compatible keys and grain. We did not treat a chart of synthetic data as evidence that supplier ratings caused delivery performance. The generated Python and its inputs are part of the answer worth checking. Use the graph for relationships We also materialized part of the ontology as a graph: Supplier, PurchaseOrderLine, WorkOrder, Project and Installation. This made it possible to follow a supplier's order lines to projects and its contractor work orders to installations. It was a useful way to explore connections without writing each join. A connection alone did not prove that a supplier had delayed a project; that still required dates and status filters. The graph projection [6] is in preview and has its own eligibility rules. Our Equipment entity, which also carried Eventhouse telemetry, was not eligible. We kept live readings in the Real-Time Dashboard and operations agent rather than forcing them into the graph. Making the graph work also uncovered a compatibility problem. We changed relationship mappings and some entity keys. Afterwards, that ontology would no longer attach to the data agent, while a copy from before the changes still worked. We used the graph-ready copy for exploration and the earlier copy for the domain agent. We did not isolate which change caused the failure. This was a workaround for our build, not evidence that every solution needs two ontologies. From a sensor reading to a Teams recommendation The operations agent [7] covered a different job: watching a signal rather than waiting for a question. Our preview setup monitored simulated pump telemetry in an Eventhouse. Every five minutes it evaluated peak vibration and alerted when the value crossed above 5 mm/s. We observed the Teams recommendation and used Investigate further to explore the alert. This was a simulated bearing-wear scenario, not a validated fault diagnosis. The threshold identified a condition to investigate. The transition rule mattered. "Crosses above" is not the same as "is above." For a repeatable test, we first let the agent observe a below-threshold window, then introduced the fault. Restarting the stream or leaving an empty window did not guarantee a new crossing. We configured a Power Automate action with human approval, but did not complete end-to-end verification of the approved action's result. Its parameters were fixed for the demo pump, not dynamically mapped for every asset. The confirmed result was the alert and investigation, not an automatically created maintenance request. The client still matters Fabric IQ appearing in several clients does not mean each client can reach every Fabric item in the same way. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat [8] can use Power BI reports and semantic models. The Copilot Cowork plugin [9] currently reaches semantic models through their reports; it does not directly ground answers in lakehouses, Eventhouses, ontologies or data agents. Existing Power BI permissions and row-level security apply. Publishing a Fabric data agent as a Microsoft 365 agent is a separate integration path [10]. It should not be confused with the Power BI connection. We used Prep data for AI [11], which is in preview, for model-level AI instructions and schema selection. We also covered verified answers for recurring questions. Preparing the model does not make the separate forecast table available to a client that cannot query it. Before choosing a client, check which source it can reach and how the answer is produced. The Fabric IQ name alone does not settle that. What changed We started with an agent that could answer questions about recorded work. We ended with one that could also answer questions about a stored forecast. The change was not a more ambitious prompt. It was a forecast with a defined grain, an accessible table, business context and explicit routing between two different meanings of the same word. That is the useful part of this Fabric IQ build: planning produces values that can be queried alongside operational data. The forecast still needs validation, and the answer still needs checking. But "next year" no longer has to mean "there is no data."

Most dashboards answer questions. Very few tell you what to do on Monday. I rebuilt a restaurant analytics report this week and spent as much time on the narrative as the numbers. What that meant in practice: Every page ends with a written read-out panel. Not a KPI. An actual sentence explaining what the chart means and what it implies. "Labour averages 23.2% of sales, but The Bistro Table runs 60.4%, and it is a scheduling problem, not a menu problem." Colour carries meaning, not decoration. Stars are teal, Plow Horses blue, Puzzles amber, Dogs coral, and those four colours mean the same thing on every page. The menu engineering matrix uses reference lines at the actual portfolio benchmarks, so the quadrants are real thresholds rather than eyeballed corners. The icon set is hand-drawn SVG rather than stock clipart, rendered at 4x so it stays crisp on any display. Shipped in both a dark and a light theme. And a final page that does nothing but list the three model issues I found and the corrected DAX to fix them. If the numbers are wrong, the design is decoration. Six pages. One dataset. 17 venues, 167 menu items. Happy to share the DAX fix pack if it is useful to anyone.
Production-grade Fabric data agents: moving from Demo to Dependable
Getting a Fabric data agent to work in a demo is one thing. Supporting it once people depend on it is another. Using the Lakeshore Retail demo, this guide covers the practical work behind that transition: reliable data, ontology context, secure access, performance testing, guardrails, and day-two operations. Tutorial data - Lakeshore Retail. The inventory is a CSV reference, not an agent answer; benchmarks are proposed, not measured. 1. Define the service before tuning the prompt Start with verifiable questions: inventory below safety stock, inbound shipments, governed sales measures, and refrigeration readings over a defined window. Agree on definitions, units, time zone, snapshot selection, freshness, and an answer owner. Low stock is not a shortage forecast. Two high-temperature readings do not prove a continuous breach: cadence, gaps, quality, and boundaries matter. Store-level relationships do not identify which product occupied a refrigeration unit. Put durable calculations in governed measures, SQL, or KQL. Ordering and other write actions need separate authorization and approval. Figure 1. Reference design; guardrails do not replace authorization. Use the standard runtime for production. Ontology, preview runtime, Foundry integrations/agent guardrails, evaluation SDK, and data-agent source control have separate preview considerations. The core's GA status does not extend to every dependency. 2. Use ontology for meaning, not as a security boundary LakeshoreOntology is now attached to the LakeshoreDataAgent draft, with Standard selected. It supplies entities, relationships, and mappings. SQL, KQL, or DAX executes against underlying sources under user permissions. Figure 2. Tutorial ontology, not proof of query correctness. The integration is preview. Attachment here does not confirm a service-wide fix to the documented new-experience issue. Keep shared definitions in the ontology. Explicitly mount eligible underlying sources before adding source-specific instructions, descriptions, or examples. These settings do not write back to the ontology. 3. Establish one reference answer For the fixed 2026-08-28T18:50:00Z snapshot, select positions where: LocationType = STORE StorageClass = FROZEN OnHandQuantity < SafetyStockQuantity The 48-position inventory fixture has exactly three matches, all Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (P-FRZ-001): Figure 3. A calculation from tutorial files, not a live agent result. For test INV-001, assert exact Store/Product keys, count, quantities, filters, and timestamp, not just three city names. The fixture's InventoryStatus = 1 marks low stock; sample instructions call it healthy. Resolve this first; the reference uses quantities. Do not silently alter data or treat August as current. 4. Prepare and wire the sources Curate objects without losing keys, joins, dates, or measures. Smaller is not automatically better. Use governed Power BI measures, Prep for AI, and Verified Answers. DAX generation uses model metadata and Prep for AI, not agent instructions. SQL/KQL source instructions/examples are separate. AI scoping and hidden fields are not authorization. Column flags do not narrow a selected source table; use supported model configuration or curated objects, not destructive edits to shared models. In development: Check prerequisites: supported paid F2+/P1+ capacity, tenant settings, and same-region agent/source capacities. Use Sources > Add sources > Add an ontology to attach LakeshoreOntology. Review its entities and Ontology data sources. Mount eligible sources for SQL/KQL configuration; prepare the semantic model separately. Set routing, clarification, and response rules, including units, identifiers, and honest failures. Inspect the fixed inventory question's source, generated query, and result. Publish to a restricted test audience; repeat as real consumers. Figure 4. The supplied attached-source draft. It does not establish query, security, or performance success. Validate the published version; republish runtime changes. Standard does not freeze service-managed LLM upgrades. Model Read permits semantic-model queries; authoring needs broader rights. 5. Benchmark the whole request Schema width and preview runtime are experiments, not guaranteed gains. Measure authentication, planning, query generation, source execution, response generation, and wrapper/guardrail work. Fast engine execution does not establish that capacity will fix conversation latency. Figure 5. Proposed experiments, not benchmark results. Vary one factor before combinations: Import, Direct Lake, and DirectQuery have no universal speed ranking. Filter telemetry early. Advanced DAX value indexing currently needs Q&A enabled. Fix questions, data, identities, and versions. Separate new chats/follow-ups and cold/warm runs; interleave baseline/candidates. Never clear shared production caches for a test. Use approved synthetic load with representative volume, cardinality, skew, joins, and freshness; tutorial data cannot prove sizing. Record sample size, p50/p95, timeouts, failures, throttles, correctness, and resources. Count all attempted eligible requests when reporting correct completion within budget, including timeouts. Leave caching off until permission-aware keys, freshness, expiration, and revocation invalidation are proven. 6. Add Foundry without moving the authorization boundary A prompt/hosted agent can use Fabric for orchestration, safety, and escalation, not repair measures, grant access, or replace Fabric's query-generation model. Use defense in depth: Application: authenticate, allowlist tools/arguments, bound calls/concurrency/deadlines, and validate available structured results. Foundry: supported safety controls and orchestration. Fabric and sources: enforce the identity's permissions. Data/semantic layers: business meaning. Use delegated end-user identity for interactive access; test two differently entitled consumers through the whole route. Never silently use the owner's identity. The Fabric tool and Fabric IQ integration differ; the former requires the same tenant. Deployment-principal support does not establish query-principal support. The public published-agent MCP pattern is: https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/mcp/workspaces/{workspaceId}/dataagents/{dataAgentId}/agent Verify OAuth, consent, and networking; private-link routes may need workspace-specific hosts. Keep tokens out of code/logs. Moderation is route-specific, not automatic for arbitrary MCP bridges or nested calls. Test input, tool calls, retrieved content, and output on your route. Safety approval does not prove accuracy or authorization. For hosted guardrails, prove filtering with negative tests. invocations needs invocations_moderation; invocations_ws has no content-safety moderation. Agent-level groundedness/spotlighting are unsupported. Implement and test any missing required control, or block release. Review Code Interpreter/action tools for isolation, retention, and approval. Exclude preview dependencies if policy requires it. 7. Test behavior, not convincing prose Use approved references and holdouts separate from tuning. Assert numbers, dates, filters, and authorized scope deterministically. Test ambiguity, no data, outages, expired identities, follow-up filters, threshold boundaries, gaps, injection, denied fields, and cross-user isolation. Check totals/errors for disclosures too. Test consumers: workspace Admin, Member, and Contributor bypass RLS. Admin success is not an RLS pass. The conversational cap is 25 rows by 25 columns. Compute totals in the source, not from truncated output; offer an authorized report/export route for complete datasets. The preview evaluation SDK uses question/expected_answer columns and a published target. Review detailed steps alongside assertions. Judge scores cannot override failed access checks. Example targets: all critical cases pass; broader correctness >=95%; no disclosures observed in the negative suite; 95% of attempted eligible requests correct within 30 seconds at five concurrent users. These are proposals, not measurements or guarantees. 8. Release a service someone can operate Figure 6. Proposed release gates, not an existing pipeline. Separate dev/test/prod. Version configurations, ontology/models, AI preparation, examples, policies, code, and evaluations. Data-agent source control is preview. Verify target bindings, permissions, region, and freshness. Publish and smoke-test consumers before expanding access. Practice rollback to a known-good release; it does not necessarily restore data, permissions, tools, or the service-managed model. Regress after service changes. Assign business, data, application, security, and operations owners. Monitor outcomes, p95, throttling, freshness, quality, and cost with correlation IDs/versions. Restrict trace access and retention; never log tokens or unrestricted results. Bound transient retries, honor Retry-After, and never retry denials as outages. Add deadlines, circuit breakers, and escalation. Distinguish no matches, no access, and failed queries. Review compliance/geographic boundaries for Foundry, external services, logs, and exports. Fabric's up-to-28-day history retention does not define external retention. Respect Purview/source policies. AI consumption includes instructions, examples, and history; source queries consume separately. Monitor AI Query and engines, budget Foundry/application costs, and compare cost per correct, authorized answer within target. Require evidence for scope, data quality, published bindings, consumer access, correctness, guardrails, load, rollback, ownership, and honest failures. Missing evidence blocks release. Dependable means useful within scope and supportable when things change.Optimising Sidebar Navigation (expandable) for Power BI Reports: Tips and tricks
I've recently developed and tested this functionality. It requires quite a bit of bookmarking but is manageable without any performance issues. To configure this efficiently, I recommend using Visual Studio Code to edit the Power BI report (PBIP) directly in the sidebar navigation. This method allows for quicker configuration compared to manual adjustments within the PBIX file. This feature is particularly useful when working with a large number of pages in Power BI visualisations. eyJrIjoiNTNjMjVhMzctNTgwMC00MzViLWEzODMtY2RiYWNiY2ExZGM2IiwidCI6IjBmNDBhZjEwLTI5MTgtNGVlMC1iMjY1LWQ2ZjAwNjc4ZjU4NSIsImMiOjh9Daylight Check: Window to Floor Area Ratio on a BIM Model
This report checks the window to floor area ratio of a residential building level by level, directly on its BIM model. Most building codes require the glazed area to be at least one eighth of the floor area: here every level gets its ratio, compared against that threshold, and the levels that fall short turn red on the 3D model. The model is an IFC file converted into tabular data with Vcad, so glazed areas, floor areas and levels come straight from the model, with no manual schedules. How to use it: - Click a level in the bar chart or in the table to isolate it. Cards, donut, table and 3D model filter together. - Use the Level slicer to jump to a specific floor. - Switch between As designed and What-if. The what-if scenario reduces the glazing on levels 2, 8 and 14 to 35% and shows which levels stop complying. - The donut shows where the glass is, grouped by band of levels. Colors on the model: blue for glazing, yellow for levels that pass, red for levels below 1/8. The ratio is computed on the gross floor area of each level, which makes it a conservative early check rather than a room by room verification.Data Days | Data Days Your Way

F&B Sales Intelligence Dashboard An interactive dashboard developed as part of my data analytics portfolio to explore sales performance across three F&B outlets in Indonesia. It uses the Anonymous Transactional Dataset from Mendeley Data, containing historical POS transactions and product metadata for January–September 2025. The dashboard covers sales KPIs, outlet performance, weekly trends, transaction intensity by day and operating hour, and product rankings. It also incorporates RFM-based transaction segmentation using K-Means, replicating a published methodology with the full dataset. Four transaction segments are summarized by volume, average spending, and total transaction value. The analysis covers 53,820 transactions with a total transaction value of approximately IDR 1.32 billion. Key findings include SHOP001 contributing nearly 49% of total transaction value and high-value transactions contributing a substantial share despite their smaller volume. Tools: Power BI and Google Colab (Python) Skills: Data modeling, DAX, KPI development, interactive visualization, RFM analysis, K-Means clustering, and insight communication. Dataset: https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/kcgf45y24m/2 Feedback on the dashboard’s design, analysis, and usability is welcome.Skills for Fabric in practice: tune them, write your own, close the synonyms gap (Part 2 of 2)
How to use Microsoft’s Skills for Fabric day to day, tune them to your team’s standards without forking them, and write your own. Then a full walkthrough of a new skill that adds Q&A and data-agent synonyms to a Power BI semantic model, the one AI-readiness setting that neither the Power BI MCP server nor the official skills will touch. Tested end to end in Power BI Desktop.
