Howdy fellow Fabricators! I'm happy to report that I passed the DP-600 exam on the first try after two months of studying 15-30 minutes per day. My background is Data Engineering in Azure Synapse. Here are my takeaways. 1) Will's videos are a great base! 2) The practice tests from Microsoft are MUCH easier than the actual exam! Do not get complacent if you're doing well on those. 3) #1 BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: Learn how to Navigate Microsoft Learn! Seriously, this saved me, no doubt. I spent about an hour just learning how Microsoft Learn is structured and how to navigate from one set of documentation to the other. You need to learn how to navigate to Fabric documentation, PBI, DAX, M, and PowerQuery. You can go to Databricks for any PySpark you might not understand, too. You also need to understand the major keywords you'll need to search for based on the questions. 4) The was MUCH more about DAX than I expected, probably 6 questions. Same with M, probably 4 questions. Power Query was a solid 8 questions, with 3 of them being about data profiling. 5) Understand was query folding is important to know (or at least that it's part of Power Query so you search for it) 6) With the case study! You need to IMMEDIATELY know that there are a bunch of tabs that you need to review for each question. For example, the question will reference "Data requirements" but not state what they are. That's because they're in the data requirements tab. Will Needham! If you read this, I think a VERY valuable video would be to show yourself going through a few practice test questions and showing how to find the answers in MS Learn. I'm happy to collaborate with you on that if you'd like.

Hello mates, I have got a requirement, Currently the client data is in on-prem third party DB and they want to Move the data to Data Bricks. But when we tried to convince them for Microsoft Fabric they mentioned that they do not want to move to Fabric as Keyvault is not supported in MS Fabric. I have explored the options w.r.t azure databricks and MS fabric. Below are my findings. - The secrets in azure key vault can directly access in azure databricks by creating secret scope in databricks with proper permission. Since the secrets are stored in azure key vault, it’s more secure and it is centralised secrets management system. - When it comes to MS fabric.it doesn’t support direct integration with azure key vault. As an alternate options. - 1. Use Microsoft Fabric’s Built-in Secrets Management. Where you can store the secrets directly in fabric environment and access when needed. - 2. Store the secrets in azure key vault and write the custom script to access the secrets into MS fabric. Apart from the above mentioned options. Can someone please help me with proper approach to provide the right solution for the Client requirement to promote MS fabric 😊

I'm taking the 30-day Spark course, but I still have a few doubts, which are as follows: DataFrame filtering To read the contents of a table into a dataframe we can write: df = spark.sql( “SELECT * FROM SparkSetember.propertysales LIMIT 1000” Subsequently, we can, for example, Filter the table with the function: df.filter(df.City.startswith(“L”)).show() My question is this: Why don't we do it straight away: df = spark.sql( “SELECT * FROM SparkSetember.propertysales WHERE Citi Like ‘L%’ ”
