Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question

A pipeline in Microsoft Fabric contains a Dataflow Gen2 that copies daily CSV files from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 into a lakehouse table. Last night the vendor added two new optional columns to the CSV schema, and the pipeline run failed with the following error:

"Column count mismatch between source and sink. Column 'NewField1' not found in the sink table."

You need to modify the dataflow so that future schema-drift changes in the source files do NOT cause the pipeline to fail and new columns are ignored until the lakehouse table is manually updated. Which change should you make?

  • Enable the Dynamic schema option on the Dataflow source and leave column mapping set to auto-detect.

  • Add an Alter Row transformation that routes rows with new columns to a reject sink.

  • Turn on Detect data types in the Dataflow sink settings and refresh the schema.

  • Set the Copy activity to use a staging folder in the lakehouse before the sink.
