From Queries to Code: Using Python in Microsoft Fabric
By Olivier Sweep
Olivier is a consultant at Ilionx. In the past, he built data platforms for clients with SQL and DAX at the core. Since the release of Microsoft Fabric, he has enjoyed learning Python and exploring the flexibility it offers.

Stepping into Python from a SQL and DAX background can be daunting, but sometimes the best way to learn is by diving straight in. In this session, Olivier shares his journey of overcoming real-world challenges in Microsoft Fabric by embracing Python—despite it being new to him. He’ll walk you through the obstacles he encountered, the lessons learned, and, most importantly, the powerful Python libraries that helped him automate and optimize workflows with minimal effort. If you’ve ever wondered whether Python is worth adding to your Fabric skill set, this session will give you the answer!
