Course content
8 sections • 47 lectures • 5h 12m total length
Requirements
- The course is hands on so a Fabric (trial) capacity is necessary if you like to do the exercise yourself
- Power BI experience is certainly helpful
- Fabric experience is NOT required. We start from scratch
Description
Learn how to transition from Power BI to Microsoft Fabric and build modern data solutions using Lakehouse, Dataflows Gen2, and Direct Lake.
This course is designed specifically for Power BI developers and analysts who want to understand how Fabric changes data modeling, data preparation, and reporting workflows.
You will build a complete workflow from data ingestion to reporting and learn how Fabric integrates with Power BI in real scenarios.
Learn how Microsoft Fabric extends Power BI and how to use it to build modern, end-to-end data solutions.
This course focuses on the transition from traditional Power BI workflows to Fabric-based architectures. You will learn how to work with Lakehouse, Dataflows Gen2, semantic models, and reporting features within Fabric.
Instead of learning isolated features, you will understand how the different components work together in a complete data workflow.
What makes this course different
This course is designed specifically for Power BI users.
You will not start from zero, but build on your existing knowledge and learn how to adapt it to Microsoft Fabric.
The focus is on practical workflows, architecture decisions, and real-world use cases rather than generic platform overviews.
