Business value
While exporting data from Microsoft Dataverse to Azure Data Lake, you can specify a data partition to year or month instead of using the defaults.
Feature details
While using the Export to Data Lake service to export data from Microsoft Dataverse to Azure Data Lake, we used the CreatedOn date to partition data by year. With this feature, you now have the option to specify your data partition strategy: Year or Month. This is especially useful for high-volume scenarios and also when data is not distributed evenly across a particular partition type.
