💡 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

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.

Are you just starting with Power BI or new to the BI world? Here's a book I highly recommend: "Data Modeling with Microsoft Power BI" by @mehrenmueller.bsky.social . I had the honor to have been a technical reviewer. Excellent book as you work through Power BI projects. #PowerBI #DataModeling

💡Even though KQL is one of the easiest query languages to learn, if you need a little boost, check out Copilot in KQL Queryset. Super useful whether you're learning.

Copilot is available in all Fabric capacities #MicrosoftFabric #KQL #Copilot #RealTimeIntelligence
