Weave the Fabric - Experience Microsoft's brand new all-in-one analytics solution

Picture yourself working for a company that allows people to rent or lease short-term lodging accommodations. Your manager approaches you with the following request: “Our goal is to make our customer service even better by investing last year's surplus. I've been considering the option of providing subsidies for the installation of air conditioning in specific host accommodations.
Can you assist in identifying the most suitable hosts for a pilot project?”

As a data expert, your objective is to create a compelling presentation for your manager by leveraging data-driven insights. Your tool of choice is Microsoft Fabric, the new all-in-one analytics suite. Join us in this workshop, and explore Fabric's potential in an engaging and playful manner.
