Microsoft Fabric

Bootcamp

Clément PRUVOST - 2024


What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is an analytics platform comprising


several services, including Power BI, to process data end-
to-end.

Unlike Azure, it's a SaaS (Software as a Service) model.


There are several software already present in Microsoft's
cloud computing service.
The 3 main service groups

Data Factory:
All the services that allow you to extract
and transform data, via several connectors
and an ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) that
will be familiar to you because it is Power
Query.

Data Warehouse
Anything that will allow you to store your
data. You will be able to create a database
that responds to SQL queries, create
tables and views that you can then
integrate into your reports.

Power BI
Microsoft's famous Dataviz software needs
no introduction. It will allow you to format
your data and share it within the Power BI
service in your company.
Why you need to learn Fabric?

With Microsoft Fabric, you'll be able to quickly create a


data warehouse with SQL terminations.

This warehouse can be fed directly via several Dataflows


connected to your information system or outside.

You'll be able to transform data


from the source) to the feed
target easily with Power Query.

In addition, you will be able to


set up these dataflows so that
they update automatically at a
given time.

In short, you will be able to easily automate your data


production!
« Sir, what’s the menu, please? »

1 – Create a workspace with Microsoft Fabric,

2 – Create a data warehouse,

3 – Create dataflows and populate data tables,

4 – Connect a Power BI report to a data


warehouse.

Create a workspace with


Microsoft Fabric
Beforehand:

In this tutorial, we're


going to use the trial
version of Fabric.

Visit Microsoft's website to request your free trial.


(Microsoft Fabric – Getting Started )

Otherwise, ask your administrator to activate the trial


version of Fabric, in case you don't have the rights.

The trial version, unlike Azure, doesn't require a credit


card.
Create your Fabric workspace
Go to your company's app.powerbi.

Workspace

Select the trial version of Fabric for your


workspace

Add a new Workspace


Your workspace is created!

Congratulations, you've made it through the first step. Now


it's time to get down to business.

We're going to build our data warehouse!

From your workspace...

New

Select "New" in your space.

Then, swipe to "More Options."

More options
Create the warehouse.

Select the
warehouse.
Then give it a
name.

Your
warehouse is
then created!
The warehouse to store your data

In your Datawarehouse, you


will find everything related to
the data schema you have
built:
Your datawarehouse name
- Tables, which you feed
through your data feeds,

- Views that you create from


your SQL queries,
Data
tables
- The different SQL queries
you want to save.
You can view some of the
content of your tables directly
by clicking on them.
What are the next steps?

Our new warehouse is empty of any table, of any view. So


we're going to create tables via a Gen2 Dataflow . This is
our next step.

We will therefore create a table based on the model of an


Excel file that will serve as a source to feed our
database.
Ready?

Create a gen 2 dataflow


Click directly on New Dataflow

From the warehouse, we're going to create our flow. You


can also create it from your workspace, in the same way as
for the warehouse.

Choose the Gen2 dataflow wisely.


The main tab opens.

You'll recognize Power Query! Good news, right?

This is because dataflows work in a similar way. The only


difference is that they don't feed a Power BI dataset, but a
database for the purpose! So here is our data warehouse.
For example:

We will start with an invoicing file hosted on One Drive


which will then be used to automatically create and
populate a data table called FACT_FACTURATION.

Don’t worry, it’s in French, but MONTANT_BRUT means


what people pay before any discount.
Click on "Import from Excel"
Select the file you want
to connect to in your
Onedrive.

If necessary, sign back


in to your Microsoft
account.

Then select the sheet


you're interested in, and
load it.
Import Result
You get a screen similar to Power Query.
The difference is that the steps now appear in a small
insert. You can select them to apply various changes.
Where do we export our data?

We're going to send this data to the


warehouse.
To do this, click on the little blue house
representing the warehouse.
Then click next.

Next
Nommez votre nouvelle table

You will then be asked for the destination.

1 - Select the warehouse you have created

2 - Check "New Table“

3 - Then enter the name you want.


Paramètres de destination

The destination settings allow you to know:

- Which columns in the file will populate the table


columns, if it is an existing table,

- What is the source format of the data (must be


compatible with the format of the data in the table).
Méthode de mise à jour

If you want to add rows to the table and not replace them
when activating the workflow, check “Append". This is
very useful if, for example, you receive data every month
and want to build up a history.

Another example: you use an


API to retrieve financial
positions. You're not going to
reload the table to 100%
every time. You'll add the
new positions to the table.
Publication du dataflow

Save the settings,


and then click
Publish.
Publish

Your dataflow appears in the space and immediately


starts its work! Click on the test warehouse to see the
result.
Vérification avec une requête :
Ouvrez l’entrepôt et faîtes un petit SELECT * sur la table
que vous venez de créer. Vous la verrez apparaître.

Votre premier dataflow est fonctionnel ! Que diriez-


vous d’intégrer la table à votre rapport?

Connect your database to


the report
Open Power BI

Select the Onelake Datahub, and


select the Ware house.

Your warehouse will appear.


Ouvrez Power BI

Connect to the SQL


endpoint.

Then load up
your table
and you're
done!

Conclusion

Clément PRUVOST - 2024


With this bootcamp:

You've learned how to create a workspace, how to


create a database, how to populate it, and how to use
it.

The example is very simple, but if you understand it, you


will be able to tackle much more complex subjects.
Fabric is a wonderful tool, rather simple to learn. I can only
advise you to train in Fabric!
