PowerTable by Lumel is a Fabric workload that enables business users to build no-code, write-back-enabled table applications directly on Microsoft Fabric. It connects live, with full bi-directional sync, to your cloud data warehouse tables including Fabric SQL, Fabric Data Warehouse, Azure SQL, Snowflake, Databricks, and other major data platforms.
PowerTable also integrates seamlessly with your Power BI semantic models, supporting no-code write-back scenarios that are distinct from Translytical Task Flows, which are designed for pro-code use cases.
In this session, you’ll also learn how PowerTable is fundamentally different from traditional table app solutions like Airtable, SmartSheet, or Microsoft Access, offering a fully governed, enterprise-grade approach designed for the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem.

Gopal Krishnamurthy is the Founder and CEO of Lumel. He is a visionary who saw the rise of cloud data platforms and adopted very early on (Snowflake, Databricks, DBT) with Visual BI and successfully divested and exited the consulting business (Visual BI) with the sale to Atos in 2021. When he also saw the BI market consolidating with Power BI, he positioned Lumel to become the #1 Microsoft Fabric and Power BI AppSource Partner. He also predicted the rise of native apps on top of data platforms as organizations look to eliminate data silos as a prerequisite to make their data AI-ready. So, he doubled down on his vision of building an integrated Lumel native app that consolidates planning, master data, reporting, and analytics on top of semantic models and envisions Lumel as the new “Face of Data” for everyday application needs.
A.K.A - Avoiding the "Grey Box of Death!"
Have you ever updated a semantic model/dataset and didn't realize it broke a visual in a Power BI report? Have you ever seen that "grey box of death" (or your customers call you about it) after making an update to Power BI? In this session, I demonstrate a way to combine Microsoft Playwright and Azure DevOps to automatically test for broken visuals and notify you about those issues.

In this session I will give you an introduction to the Visual Studio Code extension "Fabric Studio" which allows you to manage your Fabric environment directly from within VSCode. Leveraging the Fabric REST APIs you can easily browse through Fabric items and run various tasks. For not so common API calls there is also the ability to user VSCode notebooks offering intelli-sense and auto-complete from all existing API calls. It further allows you to modify existing items like semantic models, notebooks, pipelines, etc. in the VSCode IDE and publish your changes back to the Fabric service. It also features a OneLake browser to inspect the output of your operations.
