Introduction

An essential feature of Microsoft Fabric is the ability to create views in a data warehouse, enabling data transformation without physical duplication. Views simplify and aggregate data, improving accessibility and efficiency for analysis.

For the DP-600 certification exam, knowing how to create and manage views is crucial. This task is essential for data transformation and reporting, which are key skills for the exam. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a view within a Fabric warehouse.

🌐 Why Create Views in a Warehouse?

Views in Microsoft Fabric are useful because they allow you to present data from various sources in a structured format, without physically duplicating the data. This can significantly reduce storage costs and improve query performance.

Key benefits include:

  • 📉 Data Transformation: Apply complex logic to data, such as filtering, joining, or aggregating, without modifying the underlying datasets.
  • ⚡ Performance Optimization: Enhance query performance by precomputing and storing results in views, reducing the need for repetitive computations.
  • 📋 Simplified Reporting: Simplify access to data for end users by creating a tailored view that hides the complexity of the underlying data model.

🔗 Step 1: Define View with SQL Query

First, write a SQL query to define the view. Open your Fabric warehouse and click New SQL query.

The SQL editor opens.

💡
You can rename the SQL query to give it a more meaningful name.

Let's create a view that filters out only the students who are pursuing a Data Science major. To do this, enter the following T-SQL statement:
