Data validation and data quality in general is probably the MOST IMPORTANT thing that need to get right when you're creating analytics solutions in Microsoft Fabric.
Without validated data, what use is that fancy machine learning model, or that fancy Power BI report?
In this video, we look in detail about the why, when and how of data validation in Microsoft Fabric.
I walk through three example notebooks to give you hands-on experience of how to implement at thre different stages in an end-to-end pipeline: incoming table, table data (Spark dataframes) and Power BI semantic models.
