Using Copilot to build analytics within fabric


1. Building data pipeline

The admin plans to create a separate DataFlow Gen2 pipeline by modifying the M Query to include a loop for multi-day data ingestion, serving as a backfill when daily tasks fail.

Sample Prompt: Rewrite this M query by changing the relative date ‘yesterday’ to accept the ‘startDate’ and ‘endDate’ parameters in the string format of “MM/dd/yyyy”. Make sure to process in loop one day at a time as the original.

2. Ingesting the data from Lakehouse

As there are multiple tables in the Lakehouse, the admin needs help to create complex custom SQL query. They decided to use the AI Skill help building the query.

Sample Prompt: How many users are there with the Action Level 2 of CreateNewPublication during the last 30 days and 31-60 days ago? Separate them into two different columns. Please break down them by Profession and rank them from the most to the least users.

3. Transform the data

The admin wants to simplify the report by reducing the number of rows through grouping similar records together.

Sample Prompt: Under the Profession column, I want to combine Product Management and Program Management as Product Management. Then group them together by Profession and apply sum to the other two columns.

4. Building positive narrative

While building the report in Power BI, the admin wants to emphasize the area of the data showing the highest Month Over Month growth.
