Copilot in Excel can now ground its analysis in Power BI reports.

One of the most important parts of analysis is knowing you have the right data. Attach a report and Copilot works from the same trusted metrics your organization already uses, then brings the analysis into Excel.

#MicrosoftFabric Apps + Rayfin + Copilot Code puts enormous power into the hands of every copilot user, with full IT control. Super inspiring to see what our CEO is doing with all this power :)

Some more detail on the ROIC Intelligence App I built yesterday and mentioned on today's earnings call.

I took the PDF that Brian Nowak at Morgan Stanley put together for Hyperscale ROIC this week and used Copilot code (coming in our new superapp) with a single prompt + skill (/drill-me) to create the plan, then used autopilot in auto to create the full app (with history, lookups, scenarios, what-ifs, etc). And /rubber-duck to test.

And the best part is that all the artifacts are in my enterprise environment. My app is in Copilot, my code is in GitHub Enterprise; all my data pipelines/lake/semantic models are in Fabric. And everything is under Agent 365 IT/Sec/FinOps control!

So this is not about Tokenmaxxing or vibe coding. Every step of the way the rails are engineered to create value, making everything a long-term reusable asset, with governance/security, and cost controls.

This is the full system to drive business value. Disclosures: This is all pulled from public sources, and for illustrative purposes only...not financial advice! :)

Here is the app and architecture...

At #FabCon and our first-ever #SQLCon in Atlanta with 8,000+ customers, partners & community members.

Enterprises are moving fast to AI-driven, multi-agent systems. The blocker isn’t models. It’s data + context.

New this week in #MicrosoftFabric: Database Hub • OneLake updates • Fabric IQ + integrated planning • Data agents (GA). Get the details: https://t.co/91FaOachEw

[Arun Ulag @arunulag]

#OneLake interoperability with @Snowflake is now GA. Built on open standards like Apache Iceberg, this offers less duplication and more flexibility across #MicrosoftFabric + Snowflake.

I also sat down with Christian Kleinerman, EVP Product, Snowflake to talk through what this enables and where the industry is headed.

I just published the first blog post on Power BI's new modeling MCP Server (powerbi-modeling-mcp). https://t.co/h1bo9pDfb2

[Arun Ulag @arunulag]

Great news for #MicrosoftFabric! Bringing SAP and non‑SAP data into #OneLake with zero‑copy mirroring means faster insights and more reliable decisions. Exactly what customers need to turn analytics and AI into measurable outcomes.

Power BI Calendar Overhaul: Calendar-Based Time Intelligence with Jeroen ter Heerdt is live now!

* Support custom calendars like 445 454, etc.
* Week based rollups
* Proper DAX function support
* Better perf than the old time intelligence DAX functions due to significant reduction in storage engine queries

Enjoy.
