Really helpful video! We've been trying to work out how we should setup/organise semantic models from Warehouses and have struggled understanding the different options and their pros/cons so this is exactly what we needed. My understanding was that if you used views in a warehouse you would fall back to directquery instead of directlake, does that only relate to connecting to the default semantic model? If you have a view in a custom semantic model you'll still have a directlake connection?
Many thanks for the Video and explanation, I just have one question if there are any column name changes or table name changes made in the custom model then how the refresh from default to custom model would recognize the change...I came across a scenario where it errored out showing as column name differs
you don't need to refresh. in the model editor for the custom semantic model, there is a button for EDIT TABLES, there you can add tables if new one added.
