💡 Did you know your Fabric Warehouse can be either case-sensitive or case-insensitive?
By default, it’s case-sensitive (Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8), but you can switch the workspace setting before you create it or use the REST API to change it afterwards.

Did you know you can open a Fabric Warehouse in Visual Studio Code by simply clicking on the "Open in Visual Studio Code" button in the Warehouse Explorer? This is a game-changer for pro-developers! 🎉 #FabricWarehouse #MicrosoftFabric

One of the best parts of the #Microsoft MVP program isn’t the award, it’s the people. 🙏

Wait… the default semantic Power BI model in Fabric is already gone in my tenant? 😄

Super happy that it is gone! Less clutter and more intentional modeling.
