Convert to tabular from file dataset

Question

Yesterday I ran the ‘consume’ code to pull the data onto the cluster and it seemed to work but I still can’t use it from ML designer as it’s a file dataset rather than a tabular dataset. I’ve tried a couple of ways of converting it without success, my next avenue of exploration is to use the SDK rather than trying to do it through the console

Hi, Designer only supports tabular dataset, hence you'd need to use SDK to work with file dataset. Based on the documentation, there's no method for converting file dataset to tabular dataset. Is your file in csv format? Perhaps you can create a datastore and connect to your blob storage. Then, use the import data module in designer to connect to your datastore(data path in blob storage). You can also create tabular dataset from datastore. Let me know if you have further questions, thanks.
