Fabric Influencers Spotlight July 2025
Welcome to the July 2025 edition of the Fabric Influencers Spotlight, a recurring monthly post here to shine a bright light on the places on the internet where Microsoft MVPs & Fabric Super Users are doing some amazing work on all aspects of Microsoft Fabric.
The Microsoft Fabric Community team has created the Fabric Influencers Spotlight to highlight and amplify blog posts, videos, presentations, and other content related to Microsoft Fabric. We’ve cultivated submissions from members of Microsoft MVPs & Fabric Super Users from the Fabric community that cover the Fabric Platform, Data Engineering & Data Science in Fabric, Data Warehousing, Power BI, Real-Time Intelligence, Data Integration, Fabric Administration & Governance and Databases.
Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, or MVPs, are technology experts who utilize their deep knowledge of Microsoft products and services to bring together diverse platforms, products, and solutions, to solve real world problems, and to bring ‘leading edge’ content to the data community. To learn about the Microsoft MVP Award and to find MVPs, visit the official MVP website.
Fabric Super Users are the heroes of the Fabric Community. They contribute helpful answers, write informative blog posts, post data stories and are key contributors to the Fabric product via engagement with the product group. We are thrilled to announce and congratulate our 32 new Super Users who joined this month! Your dedication and commitment to excellence make a significant impact on our team’s success and the overall user experience. Welcome aboard and thank you for your contributions!

Governance in Microsoft Fabric: Current Limitations of Lakehouse Scans with Purview
The article highlights the current limitations of Microsoft Purview when scanning Lakehouses in Microsoft Fabric. While basic item level metadata and lineage are supported, detailed table-level metadata like schema and datatypes are not yet available. Scans are restricted to workspace-level scope, and cross-workspace or external lineage is missing. These gaps impact Purview’s effectiveness in centralized governance for Fabric-based data estates.
