Amazing and simple explanation of fabric… I have spent over 5 months to try to understand the basics of fabrics .. thank you Wyn…❤❤

[@AccessAnalytic]

Thanks for the kind comment Donald

[@tak0331]

I think this was a solid basic explanation that helps those familiar with Power BI and some of its admin features understand how Fabric expands upon the UI/UX. Thank you!
If you were to dive deeper, I wouldn’t mind hearing you simplify the benefits of one lake - especially how it aims to unify data while minimizing the load of copies.

[@AccessAnalytic]

Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼

Excellent content for the organization. Thank you Wyn.

[@AccessAnalytic]

You’re welcome

Thank you Wyn! As Fabric became a thing, I began wondering if I should diversify my learnings beyond Power BI. (No, at this time, but I'm happy to understand it better.)
An idea for future videos: Maximizing Power BI for Pro Users and Consumers. Premium is not yet on the radar/budget for our organization. How can we make the most of building PBI reports and encourage consumption under Pro Licensing?

[@AccessAnalytic]

No worries.

Great explanation. What is the minimal price to get AI in Power BI? Should I buy Fabric (like F2) to get it?

[@AccessAnalytic]

F64 is minimum for CoPilot. Power BI standard as other algorithmic features for free such as Q&A, Smart Narrative, Decomp tree, KPI visual

Thanks for the explanation 👍🏼, my company is moving all to Fabric, I work as a PBI developer in the insights and data quality team. In your opinion what will be the next tool to focus on learning and using ? Regards

[@AccessAnalytic]

Thank you. I’d look into lakehouse and notebooks and data pipelines to understand optimum ways of importing transform and storing your data. Dataflows gen 2 is also a more familiar way of importing data to a lakehouse.

I take it those instructions only work in you can sign in to PBi? . I was just interested in having a look.

[@AccessAnalytic]

Yes the Fabric sign in is the Power BI sign in. The Power BI “free” licence is now called Fabric Free.
