OneLake catalog

Since Power BI has been transformed and become part of  the Microsoft Fabric platform, we have a number of new, useful options at our disposal. OneLake is the place where all of an organization’s structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data now resides, and is stored in an open Delta Parquet format for ease of access, sharing, and management . The OneLake catalog is a feature within Microsoft Fabric that works as a centralized place to store, find, analyze data.

Power BI tables in Excel

For several years now, Power BI and Excel have been developing side by side with the idea that analysts do not save all their tables exclusively on a local computer, OneDrive or SharePoint repositories, but that they can also download them from Power BI reports that are published on the company’s tenant. If you use a Microsoft365 subscription that is connected to a company account, you can easily retrieve such tables.
