BUG::UI inconsistent data type display in lakehouse table view

ISSUE:

Data type not displayed to the left of one column name when it is displayed OK for all the other columns in the table.  Open another table with the same schema, and it shows there.

Meanwhile in the other table...

the last I heard was that @HimanshuS-msft wanted the table schema, which I dumped in this thread as plain text (since we can't upload any type of file other than pixs). And this is just a minor UI display glitch, so not losing any sleep over it.  Just doing my part to help improve the product and keep MS on its toes, as it were. 😉

@Element115  : I am in agreement with @v-nikhilan-msft on this at this time it does not look to be bug . But still I want to check the schema for both the tables . Can you please share schema details . I did tried different options of the data type and all of them works just fine .

I got a 23x23 table!  Can't even use the Table widget in this editor.

 

Ok here's the table schema in xslx ... bloody hell! how do you upload a file on here??

Hi @Element115 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
I have tried checking the schema for the tables present in lakehouse. I couldnt find any column without a datatype. Hence this is not a bug.

Delayed Refresh: If you recently modified the schema, there might be a delay before Fabric updates the visual display. Try refreshing the table view or the entire Lakehouse interface.

Caching: Clear your browser cache or try a different browser to rule out caching issues that might prevent the updated schema from displaying.

Column Width: Experiment resizing the column to see if the data type appears as the column widens. It might be hidden due to space restrictions.

Browser/Zoom Issues: Ensure your browser zoom is at 100% and that there are no browser extensions or display settings that could be obstructing the data type's visibility.

UI Glitch: Close and reopen the table or try reloading the entire Fabric page. Sometimes temporary UI glitches can cause quirks in the display. 
Hope this helps.


Are you not able to see the datatype when you expand the table also?

I didn't check the tree hierarchy at the time... was busy doing my work and writing up various 'bug' reports for Microsoft 😉  It's not like it bothers me, but I thought it's one thing Microsoft should be aware of so they could eventually fix it so that the UI behaves the way all users are used to see a UI behave.  

FYI the column resize does not work for lakehouse table UI. And I was told that's also not a bug.  😉

Hi @Element115
