Hi,
I just subcribed to the trial yesterday as we are using PowerBI but GCP for other services. I can only see the PowerBI experience, but no way to switch to the data science experience or working with Synapse in Fabric.
I want to test the Data Science capabilities incl. Notebooks etc and some Data Engineering.
I am using this domain https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/home
Is there a setting somewhere? What do I need to do?
There is supposed to be a user experience switching item on the bottom left hand corner of the menu side bar. When working, the icon shows as either the Fabric or PowerBI icon for me, however it was initially missing when I started my trail.
I have solved it by editing the url and replacing "power-bi" with "data-engineering", this took me to developer mode, the missing menu item has appeared as a result and I can now switch modes the expected way.
Example:
Default landing page before: https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/home?experience=power-bi
After: https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/home?experience=data-engineering
This redirected me to: https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/home?experience=fabric-developer
I can now access the Fabric Icon on the bottom left of the page and can switch experience modes back to Power BI when I want to.
Thank you for your question. I faced the same issue, was able to solve it by clicking on the account and selecting ubpgrade to free account
Hello,
I have the same issue. I'am on an active fabric trial with all the options enabled in the admin center and I'am also able to create premium (fabric) workspaces. Nevertheless I dont have any options to switch away from the regular Power Bi experience via the icons in the bottom left corner.
I tired to access the fabric ressources when it was released this year but I am still unable to access the new experience. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*EDIT*
I have read about regional availability in one of the other threads within is board. So this appears to be the reason fot the missing behaviour in case anyone else is wondering about the same thing.

@fabianschan , is Fabric enabled at Tenant level, can you please check with your Tenant admin if below setting is enabled for your entire organization.
No, unfortunatley, there is no icon @HimanshuS-msft .
We did the setting on the tenant level like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG2yyJzMooM
But it still does not work
Hello @fabianschan
Thanks for using the Fabric community .
If you scrill down to the left corner , yopu should be able to see the "PowerBI icon " -> Data Science ( option)
Thanks
HImanshu
