Hello everyone, last week was PACKED full of announcements, and Fabric news, and new features. If you missed all the announcements, you can get up-to-speed by reading this blog post. Whether you were at FabCon or not, I'm curious, which of these announcements got you most excited?! And, most importantly... why? Let me know in the comments below!

Just released in a new blog. Materialized views for lakehouses. THIS is a feature I've been waiting for. So excited to see it. Mastering Declarative Data Transformations with Materialized Lake Views | Microsoft Fabric Blog | Microsoft Fabric Anyone else as excited as me?

Hi everyone, I’m currently testing a Direct Lake semantic model and noticed something odd: for some tables, changes in the Lakehouse aren’t always reflected in the semantic model. If I delete the table from the semantic model and recreate it, then the changes show up correctly. The tables were created in the Lakehouse using DF Gen2. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I don’t quite understand why it happens, and I’m even considering switching back to Import mode… Thanks !

Currently, there’s no native connector in Microsoft Fabric to connect with NetSuite. Until Fabric launches one, you can check out the blog I wrote on how to connect NetSuite from Fabric using ODBC. Hope it helps anyone looking for options in the meantime! Medium won’t ask you to log in to read the blog, but if you’d like to leave a few claps, you might need to.

I don't know if anyone else is excited about the deprecation of Default Semantic Models, but I surely am. We NEVER use them and always build our own for various reason. I love that they are going away and will no longer clutter up our workspaces. How does everyone else feel? Anyone here actually use them for production?
