%%dax does not work in notebook

Hi All,

 

I am trying to use Semantic link in Spark notebook and everything works fine. But instead of using fabric.evaluate_dax, I am trying to use the %%dax magic command to run my dax queries. 

 

But I get the following error:

UsageError: Cell magic `%%dax` not found.

Hi @govindarajan_d 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Apologies for the issue you have been facing. I tried to repro the same scenario and got the same error. The error message "UsageError: Cell magic %%dax not found" indicates that the %%dax magic command is not available in your Spark notebook environment. For now this magic command is not yet available in Fabric Notebooks. I have escalated this to our team and the team would fix this.

The available magic commands are as follows:

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.
