Work smarter with Copilot in Microsoft Fabric Training in Ireland

This course introduces learners to the practical use of Copilot across Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, demonstrating how AI can streamline data engineering and analytical workflows.
It focuses on enhancing productivity rather than teaching data concepts from scratch.

Participants explore how Copilot:

• Transforms data in Dataflow Gen2,

• Automates repetitive data pipeline tasks,

• Assists in notebook analytics and code generation,

• Generates queries in SQL-based data warehouse environments,

• Builds reports and insights in Power BI,

• Enables conversational data interaction using Fabric Data Agents.

No formal prerequisites required.
However, learners will benefit from:

• Basic understanding of data concepts and Microsoft Fabric architecture

• Experience in data preparation, transformation, and modeling with Power BI

• Awareness of business-oriented analytical problem solving

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Explain how Copilot enhances productivity across Microsoft Fabric

• Use Copilot in Dataflow Gen2 for data transformation

• Apply Copilot in Notebooks for analysis and code generation

• Generate SQL queries and analyse data using Copilot
