Goal

Step 1: Open Data Warehouse Experience

We have already signed in into Fabric and opened the Data Warehouse Experience. We have selected the workspace "dlnerds_workspace".

Here you can see the Data Warehouse Experience.

Step 2: Open Data Warehouse Explorer

Open the warehouse from which you want to query data. We open the warehouse "dlnerds_warehouse".
