Hi,
I'm following along with the SparkR demo for Fabric notebooks that's on the microsoft website here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-science/r-use-sparkr
However, when I try to run any of the sql commands in a cell, instead of actually processing the command my notebook seems to just print out the SQL statement. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Have since seen it's beecause I had loaded tidyverse in that notebook to work on some R stuff, and dplyr's sql() command seems to mask SparkR's. Think that's why it wasn't executing it on my spark dataframe.
Hello @bosho ,
Can you please share the test code which you are running ?
Thanks

Hi @bosho ,
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
I cannot find issue while I am executing the below code -
Can you please share your test code so I can guide you better?
Thanks for the quick responses. Yes trying it again today I don't seem to be able to replicate the issue, and I see what you're seeing. Previously it was just printing the SQL code back but today I'm getting what you're getting.
Hi @bosho ,
Glad to know that you no longer see the issue. Please continue using Fabric Community for your further queries.
