Why?
There have been a lot of cool announcements last month, but Microsoft Fabric (Introducing Microsoft Fabric: The data platform for the era of AI | Azure Blog | Microsoft Azure) integrating with Power Platform definitely was a big one!

- easily generating reports infused with AI will be something that can boost productivity 📈
- using the insights from Microsoft Fabric directly back into your Business Applications as a native Dataverse table with a single click 🖱️
