Marco Russo summarizes the announcements:
I usually do not write about announcements and new features until we have had time to try and test them in the real world. However, there are always exceptions, and some of the announcements at the Microsoft Fabric Conference 2025 fall into this category because I have worked with them enough to provide hands-on feedback.
In short, these are the topics I am covering in this blog post:
- Direct Lake and Import mode
- Calendars in DAX
- User-Defined Functions (UDF) in DAX
These weren’t the headline-grabbers of the conference, but Marco explains the importance behind each of them.
