Has any one come across to work with Microsoft Fabric???

wondering if this is taking over our future as Access developers, or it will help us or neither....

Seems like a lot if gibberish from Microsoft for data analytics. They say "database" and then I couldn't find an explanation of the database or it's interface. Most businesses are busy with the mission critical data entry and service fulfillment. Some geek in the back then makes statistics into BS.

For example, I've been waiting three months for my health insurance to return an overcharge from six months ago. They can't even answer emails, much less figure out how much of a dissatisfied customer I am.

As I said, gibberish: " It encompasses data movement, processing, ingestion, transformation, real-time event routing, and report building." "It combines both new and existing components from Power BI, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and more services into a unified environment." --Microsoft

It's an ETL platform that allows for multiple data sources and various ways to manipulate.
It's not half bad.
But as with everything it depends on your needs and use cases.

ETL - that sounds exactly like a new-fangled acronym for the procedure I gave to someone's question a few days ago, on how to import data. Unfortunately, it was before yesterday, so I have no idea which thread it was in, and the older ones have scrolled off. We do need that feature that will allow us to see all our posts to the various threads in the different forums.

I mentioned how I handled data coming in from clients, but the same process worked in reverse for sending data to the clients, and those analysts that wanted to twist data a thousand different ways. That's one reason I decided to go with Access. I could create a few dozen standard export formats, and export that data to Excell letting the power users hammer on it to their hearts content in something better than a query.

Does "not half bad" equate to maybe half good?

Thanks Alex, I was trying to find them from "My Account", and Richard's bot said it can't be done.
You found the magic.
