Feb 2025 - Power BI and Fabric update

-

One month to go till Fabcon and the major announcements for the first half of this year. But that doesn't mean we've not had anything interesting this month. 


Starting with Power BI

Power BI

First up we have a section that has been labeled as general but is actually a set of announcements about deprecation of certain features. The timelines for depreciation are:


If any of these features being removed impact you, make sure you checkout the blog.

Copilot

Expanded prompt input character limit

The main thing to know on this one is that the limit has moved from 500 characters to 10K characters. If the previous limit was an issue, best bet is to write your prompt in word and copy and paste into Copilot.

Reporting

Filter or enter data in reports with Input slicer (GA)

Effectively the old text slicer has been overhauled to have a lot more text search options (e.g. contains any, contains all, is not any, etc), and supports translytical task flows.

Fabcon Vienna 2025 - Key announcements

-
As the biggest European Fabric conference of the year kicks off in Vienna today we've had a number of key announcements that have been made this morning. Sadly I wasn't able to make this years as I chose to move jobs, but will push for next - it was the highlight of the year last year and have definately missed it this year. This blog covers all you need to know from this morning, as well as my thoughts. Graph databases As the digital twin functionality hinted at, we now get graph databases as a native object in Fabric. The unique power this brings is that data doesn't need to be duplicated into a new object to create these databases - unlike the likes of Neo4j, TigerGraph, etc. Beyond a couple of specific uses cases (e.g. supply chain analysis, manufacturing lines, tracking data for SAR requests, etc), I've always felt that these are a solution looking for a problem. But now that we have agentic systems, they add a whole load of context that traditional row or columner...

Best practices for adding workspaces and managing capacity

-

About a year ago I wrote a blog on workspace topology . Since then, I have spoken to a number of customers and engineers at various meetups on capacities and the challenges they can present.  From those conversations, I've come to realise that a follow on is needed to to help demystify capacity management. For those that haven't read the previous blog, I clearly called out:   In this blog, I'm going to explain why this is the case and how you should go about managing workspace creation. The dangers of creating workspaces without planning Whilst Fabric makes it really easy to standup a new workspace on an existing capacity through the UI, a number of reasons exist today as to why we shouldn't be doing this. Financial management To understand the dangers of workspace creation, we need to first review the ways that Fabric items can be billed: Consumption unit (CU) purchased via SKU with Burst and Smooth functionality enabled (Default). This is the approach we're all us...

Workspace topologies in Microsoft Fabric

-

Since I first heard about Microsoft Fabric during private preview, I have spent many hours pondering the workspace topologies available to us. With this workspace based setup it gives us the power to spin up workspaces quickly and easily. But with that power comes great responsibility. But why is that? As time goes on I can see us struggling from workspace proliferation in exactly the same way that BI has suffered from KPI and report proliferation. That is multiple copies of the same workspace but designed for slightly different purposes. To counter that we need to carefully plan and curate our workspace creation, meaning that we need a set of topologies that we can follow to make our lives easier. But what is a workspace topology? The best way to think of it is a blueprint for how we're going to create workspaces and link them together. As I thought about this more and more, three clear topologies began to emerge. I've called these: Monolith warehouse Hub and Spoke Data Mesh M...
