Wondering what strategies people like to use for merging data created from users with data pulled from a database. For example, if there is a list of transactions that your team provides comments or other info about and you want to merger the user comments with the transaction data, what is the best approach?

Last week I landed a new job in a company in the forefront in Fabric (and Tabular Editor) in the Nordics. I think creating a CV in Power BI helped. Maybe you can find some inspiration from the one I created. Link to CV. Recently also How to Power BI released some ideas on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkDOIRYiGFg Background: Coming from the Power BI/ user side, I have previously found it hard to apply for jobs, getting the following reply "we had a candidate with more database competence". I was about to send a CV in pdf, when I went to the grocery store and listened to Explicit Measures Podcast (recommended), where they advised to create it in Power BI to show your skills. Two days later, the CV was sent in Power BI and a few hours later the first interview was booked. Much more fun then creating a PDF. And no recruiters I talked to had seen this before and one said it was the most impressive he seen in 20 years (writing CVs is not my strength). They were all enthusiastic about it. Also used some statistics from this site to show my interest in Fabric (a comment I read from @Will Needham ). For improving it further, maybe I could add a hobby-project as well, such as getting data from Strava (to combine work and spare time interests). Good luck if you are looking for new opportunities.

The DP-600 exam is great for giving you an appreciation for a wide range of topics, but does it really prepare you for life as an Analytics Engineer? From speaking with a few of you, it seems you don't feel ready or comfortable yet, which is completely understandable! The DP-600 tests your understanding of the theory, but in the real world, you are measured by your experience and ability to build solutions (how you can apply the theory). As such, I always advise for people to get hands-on as early and as frequently as possible. One of the best Microsoft resources is this list of hands-on exercises which guide you through a number of scenarios, and help you build confidence with the different tools that Fabric provides. Have you tried these resources yet? Let me know what you think! PS: I'm thinking about building a collection of hands-on tutorials which cover a lot of the core analytics engineering/ data engineering (and maybe wider?) tasks that you could expect in your career - would you find that useful?

In my organisation, individual has Power BI Premium license but not fabric. We have created workspaces with Fabric capacity so we can develop Fabric in dev environment which is working fine at the moment. Once everything is developed and we need to push Power BI reports to workspaces with no Fabric capacity, therefore my question would be, for those Power BI reports with connections to Fabric datawarehouse/lakehouse, can others with no Fabric license trigger the refresh? If the answer is no, is there any workaround? Thanks

Happy to share I have passed the exam!🥳Thank you to the amazing DP 600 playlist @Will Needham , and the lot of learnings through the fantastic posts and discussions happening within this community❤️
