Dataflow Gen2 vs Copy Job vs Pipeline: Choosing by Workload, Not by Habit
Every Fabric team has a default tool. People who came from Azure Data Factory build a pipeline for everything. Power BI people open Dataflow Gen2 for everything. Newer teams might put every table into a Copy Job because the wizard is quick. Each tool does its own job very well. Problems start when it gets used for another tool's job: pipelines full of hand-built watermark logic, dataflows used only to copy tables, and Copy Jobs expected to handle transformations they were never built for. This post gives you a simple way to pick the right tool based on what the workload needs. One sentence each Copy Job moves data from A to B, including incremental loads, with as little setup as possible. Dataflow Gen2 shapes data. It cleans, merges, reshapes and applies business rules using Power Query. Pipeline coordinates work. It runs steps in order, handles dependencies and failures, and ties everything together. If you remember only one thing, remember this: Copy Job moves, Dataflow shapes, Pipeline orchestrates. Start with three questions about the workload Ask these before you open any editor. Am I moving data or changing it? If the data arrives at the destination looking mostly like the source, with only column mapping or type changes, you are moving data. If you are joining, deduplicating, deriving columns or applying business logic, you are transforming it. How does the source change? A one-time or full reload is a different problem from an ongoing incremental sync. Incremental loads based on change data capture (CDC) are different again. How many steps depend on each other? A single load on a schedule is one thing. "Load these, then validate, then transform, then run a stored procedure, then alert someone if it fails" is a workflow. Your answers usually point clearly to one tool. Copy Job: when the job is data movement Copy Job is the newest of the three and the one most often overlooked by teams stuck in old habits. Microsoft's decision guide lists its main scenarios as incremental copy and replication (both watermark-based and native CDC), data lake and storage migration, medallion ingestion, and out-of-the-box multi-table copy. Microsoft Learn The incremental support is the main reason to use it. In a pipeline, the Copy activity handles incremental copy through pipeline expressions and control tables, and only with watermarks. That means you build and maintain the control table, the lookup, the parameterized query and the watermark update yourself. Copy Job does this for you. Microsoft Learn Choose Copy Job when: You need to ingest many tables from a database into a lakehouse or warehouse. You want an initial full load followed by incremental updates, and you don't want to build watermark logic. The source supports CDC and you want inserts and updates merged into the destination automatically. The destination is outside Fabric. Copy Job supports 40+ destination connectors. Microsoft Learn Microsoft's own example fits this well: an analyst who needs multi-table selection across regional SQL Server instances, a bulk initial load, and then CDC-based incremental merges picks Copy Job because it supports both watermark-based and native CDC incremental copying through a wizard, and automatically detects CDC-enabled tables. Microsoft Learn Don't choose Copy Job when: You need real transformation. Its transformation support is rated low, and that is intentional. Microsoft Learn The load is one step in a larger workflow with conditions, retries and downstream dependencies. That belongs in a pipeline. Dataflow Gen2: when the job is shaping data Dataflow Gen2 is Power Query running at Fabric scale. It is the right tool when the value lies in the transformation logic. It offers 170+ built-in connectors, 300+ transformation functions in a visual interface, and data profiling tools for checking data quality. Microsoft Learn A common complaint is that dataflows are slow for large volumes. That used to be a fair criticism, but Fabric has added several performance features aimed at specific workloads: Fast Copy is for direct, high-throughput copies from a supported source with no transformations. It uses the same backend as the pipeline Copy activity. microsoftmicrosoft Modern Evaluator helps when you are shaping data from connectors that don't fold, or only partly fold. microsoft Partitioned Compute is for large, partitioned or multi-file datasets that can be processed in parallel. microsoft Staging lets you land raw data first and transform it afterwards (ELT), so ingestion and transformation don't compete in one pass. microsoft Choose Dataflow Gen2 when: Business logic is the main work: cleansing, standardizing codes, merging sources, calculated columns. The people who own the logic know Power Query and would struggle to maintain Spark or SQL. You are combining files, APIs, SharePoint lists and databases into one clean dataset. You want visual data profiling while you build. Don't choose Dataflow Gen2 when: You are only copying tables. Fast Copy makes this workable, but Copy Job is simpler, gives you incremental loads without extra work, and has less to maintain. Your destination isn't supported. Dataflow Gen2 lists around 7+ destination connectors, compared with 40+ for the copy tools. Microsoft Learn The transformations are very complex or code-heavy. At that point a notebook is usually the better choice. Pipeline: when the job is coordination A pipeline is not mainly a data movement tool. It is the orchestrator. Microsoft describes it as low-code orchestration that groups several activities together to complete a task. The Copy activity inside it is powerful, and it remains a strong option for very large migrations. The guide describes it as the best low-code choice for moving petabytes of data into lakehouses and warehouses, either ad hoc or on a schedule. Microsoft LearnMicrosoft Learn The real reason to use a pipeline is the control flow: dependencies, branching, retries, failure handling, parameters, and calling other items. Choose a pipeline when: Several steps must run in a set order, where step B only runs if step A succeeds. You need logic such as If/Else, ForEach over a metadata list, or waiting on an external event. You are combining different item types, such as a Copy Job, a dataflow, a notebook, a stored procedure and a web call. You need error handling and notifications around the whole process. You are doing a large, custom migration where you want detailed control over the Copy activity. Microsoft's scenario for pipelines describes a workflow that runs stored procedures, calls web APIs, moves files and executes other pipelines. That is orchestration, not simple ingestion. Microsoft Learn Don't choose a pipeline when: It would contain a single activity that just runs one dataflow on a schedule. Dataflows can be scheduled on their own. You would be rebuilding incremental loading by hand when Copy Job already supports your source. Side-by-side Copy Job Dataflow Gen2 Pipeline Main job Move and replicate Transform and shape Orchestrate Incremental loads Built in (watermark and CDC) Possible, but not its strength Manual (watermark and control tables) Transformation Low High None itself (calls other items) Destinations 40+ ~7+ Depends on activities Authoring Wizard Power Query Visual canvas and expressions Best owner Data integrator, analyst Analyst, data engineer Data engineer Warning sign you picked wrong Adding transformation workarounds Dataflow has no transformation steps Pipeline has one activity Common mistakes that come from habit The "everything is a pipeline" team. Every source table gets a Lookup, a ForEach, a parameterized Copy activity and a stored procedure to update the watermark. It works, but you now maintain a small custom framework that Copy Job gives you ready-made. Keep the pipeline and let it call the simpler pieces. The "everything is a dataflow" team. Dataflows with forty queries that just select a table and load it. Move the raw ingestion to Copy Job and keep dataflows for the layer where logic actually happens. The "Copy Job does it all" team. Trying to handle business rules with column mappings, then adding SQL views downstream to fix what should have been transformed properly. Once logic appears, add a Dataflow Gen2 or a notebook. The single-activity pipeline. A pipeline whose only purpose is to run one item on a schedule adds a layer to monitor without adding control. Use the item's own schedule until you really need dependencies. The pattern that usually wins: use all three, each for its own job For a typical medallion architecture, the tools fit together naturally: Bronze with Copy Job. Ingest source tables with built-in incremental or CDC loads. No custom watermark logic. Silver and Gold with Dataflow Gen2 (or notebooks for heavy, code-first logic). Apply cleansing, conformance and business rules where they are visible and easy to maintain. Pipeline around everything. Run ingestion, then transformation only if ingestion succeeded, then refresh or post-processing steps, and send an alert if anything fails. Each tool does what it is best at, and each is simpler because it isn't doing another tool's job. A 30-second decision checklist No transformation, and data must stay in sync over time? → Copy Job One-off or very large custom migration needing fine control? → Copy activity in a pipeline Transformation logic is the main work, and owners know Power Query? → Dataflow Gen2 Complex, code-first transformation at scale? → Notebook Multiple steps, dependencies, branching or error handling? → Pipeline, calling the tools above Closing thought The right question isn't "which tool do we use?" It is "what does this workload need?" Movement, shaping and coordination are three different problems, and Fabric gives you a dedicated tool for each. Teams that choose by workload build less custom plumbing, find problems faster, and hand solutions over more easily, because each piece does one clear job. Next time you start a new load, answer the three questions first, then pick the tool.Mouse over effects for buttons
Before we begin, I'd like to clarify a golden rule for creating a great button experience: users should always have a clear indication of which button is currently selected compared to the others. It may sound simple, and many will argue that the Navigator visual available today already solves this problem. However, when we want to go further with custom effects, we will need a bit of retro creativity with our old friends, bookmarks. NOTE: If you are not familiar with how to easily highlight a selected button by changing its background color, you can review that article first. Next, we will look at two effects separately, although they could easily be combined. Underlining Instead of Background Highlighting When creating buttons, it is natural to focus on their background, both for the selected state and the hover state. However, if we pay attention to the web, we can see that a much lighter visual effect is often achieved with underlined titles. With a simple underline, I can quickly identify which button is currently selected. I can also use the same effect when the cursor hovers over the other measures. To build this, we will need two buttons (the active and inactive versions, just as in the previous article) and a shared horizontal line. The inactive button, in its normal state, has a solid background (0% transparency) that exactly matches the page background color, along with gray text. When the mouse hovers over it, the button changes to white text and a 100% transparent background, making the line behind it visible. When we click the active button, meaning the one that represents the currently displayed state, it remains hidden until the button is clicked. After the click, we will make it visible using bookmarks. This button is positioned exactly on top of the inactive one. While the active button is visible, we will hide the inactive button. The active button will have the same properties in its Default state as the On Hover state of the inactive button, making the horizontal line visible and displaying the text in white. Let's see how the complete setup looks: If we pay close attention, this effect could easily be applied to the left-side menu as well, using a vertical line. Motion Spacing Although Power BI does not provide many visual elements that allow us to experiment with motion effects, in some cases we can simulate them. In this example, we will create the illusion of the text moving slightly to the right when the cursor is placed over the button. To achieve this, we will once again use three elements: two buttons and a vertical line. The difference this time is that instead of simply covering the line as we did before, we will hide and show it. Why make it more complicated this way? Simply because the background has a gradient. In those situations, we cannot have the button in its default state hide the line, because reproducing the exact background effect on the button would be very difficult. Therefore, we will keep the lines hidden until the button is pressed, at which point they will be displayed. To create this effect, we will set up the inactive button with gray text and no background. The trick will be in its On Hover state. In that state, we will add invisible characters. What is an invisible character? Invisible text, or invisible characters, refers to special characters that cannot be seen on the screen but are treated like normal letters by the system. When the mouse hovers over the text, it will begin with invisible characters, creating the effect that the text shifts slightly to the right. Something like this: Notice that it looks like there are spaces at the beginning, but they are not actually spaces. Here are the characters if you'd like to copy them: ← after the arrow. If you want to verify that this is not a joke or a trick, you can paste the text into Notepad++ (which can recognize them), and you'll see something like this: The movement effect is now in place. So, how do we continue enhancing the user experience? By following the golden rule. When the user clicks, we will hide the inactive button to reveal the vertical line and the active button, which in this case has its text colored the same as the line. Let's see the final result: That's all for this article. I hope it gives you some new ideas for creating user experiences that feel more modern, friendly, and similar to the web applications we interact with every day. Remember that these two effects can be combined. For example, you could have a vertical navigation menu that not only displays the vertical indicator line for the selected option, but also applies the movement effect when users hover over the items. Original Post in spanshiPower BI Smart Table Visual: Excel style Column Filtering, Dynamic Column Headers, Grouping Columns
For a smoother reading experience with clearer screenshots and easy code copying, I suggest [reading this article on my website](https://www.techietips.co.in/articles/powerbi-managed-6500measures-smartly). It’s free, ad-free, distraction-free, and dedicated solely to sharing knowledge. The Table is the most commonly used visual in Power BI. Anyone who has spent years in Excel expects to click a header and filter that column. They expect related columns to sit under a common heading. The native table visual does none of this. There are grid visuals in the Microsoft visual app source that do. Most developers never get to use them, for two reasons that have nothing to do with the features. The good ones are licensed per developers or user, and that cost has to be justified to someone. The free ones are usually not Microsoft certified, which means an uncertified third party script is running inside your report, and that is a fair thing for a security team to say no to. So I built one. It is called Smart Table, and I built it with Claude. This post walks through what it does. 1. Excel style column filtering Every column header carries a funnel button in its own divided cell. Click it and you get what you would expect from Excel: sort, a set of conditions appropriate to the column’s type, and a searchable checkbox list of that column’s values. The menu names the column it belongs to, counts what you have ticked, and stays open while you sort. The conditions follow the column type rather than offering one generic list: Sync: does the filter stay in the grid or reach the report Sync is on by default. Filters applied in the header are pushed to the model, so every other visual on the page responds, exactly as if the user had used a slicer. Turn Sync off: Filtering then narrows this grid only. Global search The toolbar has a search box with its own operator dropdown: contains, is exactly, starts with, ends with, does not contain. It searches across every column at once. Power BI: Smart Table Excel Style Column Filtering 2. Dynamic column headers, driven by a measure A column header name is normally a static label. Here it can be a DAX measure. Arrival Month is set to April, and the Key Metrics headers read Lead Time (Avg: 30.00), Room Nights (Avg: 1.00), ADR (Avg: 160.50). Change the month and they recompute. The header honors the filter context, including the filters applied inside the grid itself. Filter Property down to Resort Hotel with the funnel and the averages in the header follow. Power BI Smart Table: Measure Driven Column Headers (Dynamic Column names) - YouTube 3. Column groups, without any extra tables Four groups across eleven columns: Reservation, Channel, Room Type, Key Metrics. Each one is a spanning header above its columns with its own colour. The thing to notice is what is not involved. No disconnected table. No field parameters. No two table visuals stacked on top of each other. No shapes placed in the background: which means your column groups move to the right along with your cursor. Power BI Smart Table: Grouping columns in a table without using a static table and a matrix visual - YouTube Known limits All of these come down to one idea: some filtering reaches the model and some is local to the grid. 30,000 rows That is the Power BI cap for a table mapping with this data reduction algorithm. Header filters push a real model filter, so filtering down to a workable set works fine. Do not point it at an unfiltered fact table. Value lists cap at 2,000 distinct values per column**, built from the loaded rows. On a high cardinality column like a guest name, use the search box in the menu. Ends with, Does not end with, and blank selections filter the grid only.** Power BI’s advanced filter operators have `StartsWith` and `Contains` but no `EndsWith`, and a blank has no equivalent in a model side `In` list. The menu tells you when you pick one of these. Bookmarks restore the data but not the ticked checkboxes.** The model filter is persisted by Power BI, so the rows come back correctly. The header checkboxes just will not show as ticked. I wrote this to make one point: the gaps in the built-in visuals are not permanent. Build your own, and with vibe coding that is no longer a months-long project. I am not sharing the .pbiviz file. It is an experiment, not tested for production grade reports. Feel free to checkout my [website](https://www.techietips.co.in) and reach out to me if you are interested to do these experiments along with me, I would like to continue developing this visual and will write detailed blogs in features explaining its features and implementations. I hope you learned something new. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Happy Learning!!!Data Days | Data Days Your Way

My button & slicer disappeared in Power BI Service. Here's why.
Imagine you have created a beautiful table in Power BI with a slicer and a button placed on top of it, overlapping the table area. The slicer is used to search for specific content. The button becomes clickable when exactly one row is selected and opens a detail page for that row. In Power BI Desktop, everything works perfectly. However, as soon as you publish your report to the Power BI service and start interacting with it, strange things may happen. If you select one row, both the slicer and the button disappear. If you leave the table area, both reappear. However, as soon as you hover over them, they disappear again. Even more strangely, if you move in and out of the table a few times, it may happen that the button is available again. As it turns out, this is documented behaviour, not a bug. In reading view, Power BI brings the selected visual to the front layer, above anything that overlaps it. Selecting a table row selects the table, so the button and the slicer, which actually sit in front of the table, end up behind it and disappear. What I can't explain is the button becoming available again after moving in and out a few times. I haven't found anything documented on that. The good news: this default behaviour can be changed. To change it, there is an option. It's called 'Maintain layer order' and can be found in a visuals format pane under Properties > Advanced options. Switch it on for the visual that jumps to the front, in my case the table. Have you run into this one? And on which visual did you end up switching it on?Why Refresh the Whole Model When Only One Table Changed? Power BI Finally Lets You Choose
The problem: refreshing everything when you only needed a little Picture a semantic model with a few tables: a large Sales fact table that updates every day, a Products table that changes maybe once a month, and a Currency Exchange Rate table that barely changes at all. For as long as most of us have used Power BI, hitting "Refresh" meant refreshing the entire model - every table, every time, whether it actually needed it or not. Worse, a normal refresh always did two things at once: it checked whether anything about your data source's structure had changed (a schema sync), and then it reloaded all the actual data. Most of the time you only care about one of those. You just want fresh numbers in your Sales table - you don't need Power BI to re-check whether your Currency table's column structure changed, because it never does. But there was no way to say "just get me new data, skip the schema check," or "refresh only this one table." You got the whole thing, every time. This wasn't just an annoyance - for larger models, refreshing everything when you only needed a fraction of it meant longer waits, more load on your source systems, and refresh operations eating into your daily refresh limits for no good reason. The old way to get around this If you needed genuinely granular control before this update, your only real option was going through the XMLA endpoint or the REST API - writing code to say "refresh just this table" or "refresh just this partition." This worked, but it required Premium or Fabric capacity, technical setup, and honestly, a level of comfort with scripting that most report builders don't have or need for day-to-day work. For anyone just using the standard Power BI Service interface, there was no such option - it was full refresh or nothing. What changed In the August 2026 update, Power BI brought this kind of control directly into the Service UI, no scripting required. You now get two separate improvements working together: First, refresh type options. Instead of one generic "Refresh" button that always does a schema sync plus a data refresh, you can now choose exactly what you want: - Refresh schema and data - the original all-in-one behavior, still available when you genuinely need both - Sync schema only - checks and applies any structural changes from your data source, like new columns, without reloading all the data - Refresh data only - reloads fresh data without checking for schema changes at all Second, table-level refresh. Instead of applying that choice to your entire model, you can now apply it to just one specific table. A real example Back to our Sales, Products, and Currency Exchange Rate model. Say it's the middle of a regular business day, and you just want today's sales numbers updated - nothing else has changed. Open the semantic model in Model view within the Power BI Service. Instead of hitting the generic top-level Refresh button, find the Sales table specifically. Choose Refresh data only for just that table. Power BI reloads fresh data into Sales, and leaves Products and Currency Exchange Rate completely untouched - no unnecessary schema check, no reloading tables that didn't need it. What used to be a full-model operation is now a targeted, few-second action. Where this saves the most time - Large models with tables that update on very different schedules - a fast-changing fact table alongside slow-changing dimension tables that rarely need touching - Direct Lake models specifically, where a Lakehouse table might have gained new columns, you're not ready to bring into your model yet - you can refresh the data without pulling in that schema change - Anyone managing refresh limits or capacity usage, where cutting unnecessary schema syncs and full-model reloads adds up to real savings over dozens of refreshes a day What to keep in mind This is a Power BI Service feature, so it's something you'll do from the web interface managing a published semantic model, not from Power BI Desktop while you're building. It's also worth remembering that "Sync schema only" and "Refresh data only" are meant to be used thoughtfully - if you genuinely don't know whether a data source's structure has changed recently, doing a full "Refresh schema and data" occasionally is still the safer choice, especially before a report goes out to a client or stakeholder. If you've been refreshing an entire model out of habit when only one table actually needed it, this is worth checking out the next time you're in the Power BI Service. Thanks for reading! Connect with me on: LinkedIn | Data With Pankaj - YouTubeLost Track of Which Feature Workspace Belongs to What? Fabric's New Relations API Fixes That
The problem: branch workspaces multiply, and nothing tracks them If your team uses Fabric's Git integration with branching, you've probably experienced this pattern: someone creates a new feature branch in source control, and Fabric spins up a matching "feature workspace" so they can build and test in isolation without touching the shared Dev or Test environment. This is genuinely useful - it means multiple people can work on different features at the same time without stepping on each other's changes. The trouble shows up a few weeks later. You've now got a dozen feature workspaces sitting in your tenant, and there's no built-in way to look at one and know which project it belongs to, who created it, or whether it's safe to delete. Some of those branches got merged and closed out weeks ago, but the workspace never got cleaned up. Others are still actively being used. From the outside, they all just look like... workspaces. Sorting that out has generally meant manually checking naming conventions, asking around, or just leaving stale workspaces sitting there because nobody wants to risk deleting the wrong one. What Fabric's Workspace Relations API actually does In the August 2026 Fabric update, Microsoft introduced a set of API endpoints that let you create, query, update, and delete relationships between workspaces - specifically, the link between a "parent" workspace (your main Dev or Test environment) and the "branch" or "feature" workspaces created from it. In plain terms: instead of a feature workspace being just another disconnected item in your tenant, it now carries an explicit, query able record saying "I belong to this parent workspace." Any tool, script, or automation you build can ask Fabric directly, "show me every branch workspace linked to this parent," and get a real answer - not a guess based on naming patterns. A real example Picture a typical setup: your team's Git-integrated Fabric project has one main Dev workspace, and every time someone starts a new feature branch, an automated pipeline (using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions) spins up a matching feature workspace, configures its Git connection, and sets the right permissions.Here's where the Relations API closes the loop: after that feature workspace is provisioned, the pipeline calls the Relations API to explicitly link it back to the parent Dev workspace. From that point forward: Anyone (or any script) can query "which branch workspaces belong to this parent?" and get a complete, accurate list When a feature branch gets merged and its workspace is no longer needed, a cleanup script can safely identify orphaned branch workspaces tied to a specific parent, instead of relying on someone remembering to delete it manually If your organization runs a periodic governance check ("do we have workspaces nobody's touched in 60 days?"), that check can now also confirm which parent each one belongs to, making it much easier to decide what's safe to remove None of this requires manually maintaining a spreadsheet or a naming convention discipline that inevitably breaks down over time. The relationship is a real, first-class piece of information Fabric tracks for you. Where this saves the most time Teams using Git branching heavily, where feature workspaces are created and torn down frequently as part of normal development Governance and cleanup routines, where knowing "does this workspace still have a live purpose" used to require manual investigation Building your own internal tooling or dashboards that need to show a clear picture of your Fabric tenant's workspace structure, rather than a flat, unorganized list What to keep in mind This is an API-level capability, so using it directly means writing a bit of automation - typically something your DevOps or platform team would set up as part of your existing branch-workspace pipeline, rather than something you'd click through in the Fabric UI Day to day. If that's not your role, the practical takeaway is simpler: ask whoever manages your team's Git integration and CI/CD setup whether this is wired into your branch workspace pipeline yet. It turns "we have no idea which workspaces are still needed" into a question your tooling can actually answer. If your tenant has been quietly accumulating feature workspaces with no clear ownership trail, this is worth bringing up with your Fabric admin or platform team as a governance improvement.
