1) You plan to create a report in Power BI Desktop.

You need to create a visualization that displays data in two or more

dimensions and cross-highlights with other visuals on the same
report page.

Which type of visualization should you use?

Select only one answer.

Card matrix
This answer is correct.
scatter table
2)A matrix visualization displays data in two or more dimensions and cross-highlights
with other visuals on the same report page. A card visualization displays a single data
point. A scatter visualization is a chart, not a grid. It has two value axes, with one set
of numerical data along a horizontal axis and another set of numerical values along a
vertical axis. A table visualization is a grid that contains related data in a grid format,
with support for two dimensions only.

You plan to create a report in Power BI Desktop.

You need to identify the type of visualization that displays data as a

set of nested rectangles.

Which visualization should you use?

Select only one answer.

bar chart column chart slicer treemap
This answer is correct.
A treemap visualization displays data as a set of nested rectangles. A slicer
visualization is available in different formats, including list, drop-down, and buttons,
but not nested rectangles. A bar chart visualization presents data as horizontal bars. A
column chart presents data as vertical columns.

3)You plan to create a report in Power BI Desktop that will display

sales opportunities by five sales stages, including lead, prospect,
qualified, committed, and transacted.

You need to identify the type of visualization that will display a

linear process with sequentially connected stages, with one stage
transitioning to the next.

Which visualization should you use?

Select only one answer.

funnel
This answer is correct.
slicer treemap waterfall
A funnel visualization displays a linear process with sequentially connected stages,
with one stage transitioning to the next. A slicer visualization is available in different
formats, including list, drop-down, and buttons, but not sequentially connected stages,
with one stage transitioning to the next. A treemap visualization displays data as a set
of nested rectangles. A waterfall visualization displays a running total as values are
added or subtracted.

4)You are editing a report in Power BI Desktop.

You need to adjust the behavior of the report by editing interactions.

Which two types of interaction behavior can you change between

visuals? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

drillthrough expand filter
This answer is correct.
highlight
This answer is correct.
A filter will show you the filtered data in this visual. Highlight is the default
interaction between visuals. It shows you both the unfiltered and filtered values in the
visual, for comparison purposes. Drillthrough is a page navigation experience that
takes you from one page to another plus applies a set of filters to page navigated to.
Expand is a way to navigate down a level using the hierarchy controls.

5)You need to create a bookmark that toggles the visibility of a

visual.

This bookmark must only toggle the visibility state and perform no
other action.

Which three configurations should you make? Each correct answer

presents part of the solution.

Select all answers that apply.

Disable the Data option.
This answer is correct.
Disable the Current Page option.
This answer is correct.
Disable the Display option. Enable the Current Page option.
This answer is incorrect.
Enable the Data option.
This answer is incorrect.
Enable the Display option.
This answer is correct.
The current page capture allows the bookmark to navigate back to the page of capture.
The data capture updates filters and drillthrough which should not occur for this
bookmark. The display capture updates visual visibility on the report page.

6)ou implement the Q&A feature in a report, so users can get

answers to their questions on their own.

You need to improve your Q&A search capabilities for end-users.

Which two configurations can you add? Each correct answer

presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

Add a linguistic schema to the dataset.
This answer is correct.
Add synonyms to model fields.
This answer is correct.
Configure the dataset as a composite model.
This answer is incorrect.
Organize the dataset columns and measures into logical folders
in the Fields pane.
This answer is incorrect.
Adding synonyms to model fields will help users search for them. For example, you
can give a synonym of (Actuals) for the (Sales) measure. A linguistic schema
describes terms and phrases that Q&A should understand for objects within a dataset,
including parts of speech, synonyms, and phrasings that relate to that dataset.
Composite models are not supported by Q&A today. Organizing fields by display
folders will not impact Q&A search capabilities.

7)You have a bar chart and column chart visual on a report page.
Selecting any column from the bar chart visual filters the column
chart data to less than 1% of its unfiltered value.

Which type of visual interaction should be used when the bar chart
is filtering the column chart to ensure that you can easily see the
data?

Select only one answer.

expand drillthrough
This answer is incorrect.
filter
This answer is correct.
highlight
Filter will show you the filtered data in this visual. So even when showing filtered
data that is less than 1% of the unfiltered value, it will still display well in the column
visual. Highlight shows you both the unfiltered and filtered values in the visual, for
comparison purposes. Drillthrough is a page navigation experience that takes you
from one page to another plus applies a set of filters to page navigated to. Expand is a
way to navigate down a level using the hierarchy controls.

8)You have a visual that is being cross-highlighted.

By default, what data will be displayed in a report tooltip?

Select only one answer.

a report page tooltip with cross-highlighted data
both the un-filtered and filtered (cross-highlighted) data
the filtered (cross-highlighted) data
This answer is correct.
the un-filtered (non-cross-highlighted) total data
By default, report tooltips will apply the filter from the cross-highlighted data into the
tooltip. Report page tooltips need to be manually created and are not assigned to a
visual by default.

9)You have a Power BI report that uses a dataset that is imported

from a database.

You add a slicer to a report.

You need to sync the slicer to use it on other report pages.

What is required to sync slicers between report pages?

Select only one answer.

Each slicer must be the same slicer type.
Each slicer must be visible.
Each slicer must have the same title.
Each slicer must use the same column.
This answer is correct.
The same column must be used in each slicer for them to recognize each other in the
sync slicers settings. Slicers can sync even when hidden. Slicers do not need to be the
same slicer type. One slicer could be a list, and the other a dropdown. Slicers do not
need the same title to allow them to be synced.

10)You plan to create a report in Power BI Desktop that will display

the relationship between the number of orders and the number of
orders shipped by product category.

You need to identify the visual that will clearly identify outliers in the
data set by displaying them away from the bulk of data.

Which visual should you use?

Select only one answer.

 card
gauge
scatter
This answer is correct.
treemap
A scatter visual displays a relationship between values associated with two axes: one
set of numerical data along a horizontal axis and another set of numerical values along
a vertical axis. It is particularly suitable for identifying outliers because it displays
them away from the bulk of data. A card visual displays a single data point. A
treemap visual displays data as a set of nested rectangles. A gauge visual displays a
circular arc including a single value that measures progress toward a goal or target.

11)You need to create a report in Power BI Desktop that will display

the sales data of your company such that customers of a similar age
will be grouped into clusters.

Which visual should you add to the report?

Select only one answer.

card
This answer is incorrect.
gauge
scatter
This answer is correct.
treemap
Creating a scatter visual is the first step of applying the clustering technique that
groups data into clusters. Card, gauge, and treemap visuals do not support clustering.

12)You need to create a histogram that will display ranges of

integers in groups.

Which two resources do you need to create the histogram? Each

correct answer presents part of the solution.

Select all answers that apply.

a Bin group type
This answer is correct.
a Date/time column
This answer is incorrect.
a List group type a Numerical column
This answer is correct.
The group is created against a numerical column using bins.
The Bin group type is an auto grouping of items into bucketed bins (groups). It will
display well as a histogram. A DateTime column isn’t required to display histogram
type data against a numerical column. A List group type is a manual grouping of
items into new group names/categories. It doesn’t create auto (binned) groups.
13)You plan to use Power BI Desktop to analyze sales data for
products sold by your company.

You need to create a DAX formula that will list 10 best-selling

products sorted by their total sales.

Which DAX function should you use?

Select only one answer.

MAXA MAXX RANKX TOPN
This answer is correct.
The TOPN function returns Top N rows of the specified table, such as, for example, top
10 best-selling products sorted by their total sales. The MAXA function returns the
largest value in a column. The MAXX function evaluates an expression for each row
and returns the largest value. The RANKX function returns ranking of a number in a list
of numbers for each row of a target table.

14)You need to add a new visual to a Power BI Dashboard. This

visual does NOT exist on a report in the workspace.

What should you do first?

Select only one answer.

Open See Related Content.
Open the File menu.
Select Add a tile.
Select Ask a question about your data.
This answer is correct.
The Q&A feature lets you create a visual by typing in a question about your data. This
new visual can then be pinned to the dashboard, without adding it to a report. Inside
the file menu and the tiles menu there are no “visual” options. See Related Content
displays related content like reports, datasets, etc. You can’t create a new visual from
here.

15)You plan to get data for a Power BI dataset from flat files.

You need to select a location for the files. The location must provide
the ability to configure scheduled refresh for the dataset by using
Microsoft 365 credentials.

Which two location types should you recommend? Each correct

answer presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

local file OneDrive for Business
This answer is correct.
Personal OneDrive account
This answer is incorrect.
 SharePoint – Team Sites
This answer is correct.
A personal OneDrive account provides the ability to automatically synchronize flat
files residing in a user's OneDrive and Power BI datasets. Since it relies on OneDrive
access, it requires the user's credentials of the corresponding Microsoft account. The
OneDrive - Business option uses Azure Active Directory credentials. The SharePoint
– Team Sites option uses the same Azure Active Directory credentials as the ones
used to access SharePoint Online. For the local file option, no additional credentials
are required to access them.

16)You need to make changes to your data sources.

Which three changes are supported by the Data Source Settings in

the Power Query interface? Each correct answer presents a
complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

adding a column
clearing permissions
This answer is correct.
editing permissions
This answer is correct.
modifying the file path
This answer is correct.
renaming a column
The Data Source Settings in the Power Query interface supports editing permissions,
clearing permissions, and modifying the path of the data source file. Any structural
changes to a file, such as adding, removing, or renaming columns are not supported
by the Data Source Settings in the Power Query interface.

17)When importing data from an Excel workbook into Power BI, you
receive the error message: “We couldn't find any data formatted as
a table.”

What should you do to resolve the error?

Select only one answer.

In the Excel workbook, select the data you want to import, select
the Data Validation button, and save the change.
In the Excel workbook, select the data you want to import, create a
table, and save the change.
This answer is correct.
In Power BI, add a template app.
In Power BI, add an organizational app.
The error message indicates that the Excel workbook does not contain a table. To
create it, in the Excel workbook, you need to select the data you want to import, press
Ctrl+T or choose the Table button, click OK and save the change. Using the Data
Validation button in Excel does not create a table. Organizational and template apps
provide a way to implement functionality within Power BI, but, in this case, the issue
is caused by an absence of a table in the Excel workbook, so installing an app would
have no effect on resolving the issue.

18)From Power BI Desktop, you create a data source by importing an

Excel file that contains 10,000 rows.

You plan to identify data anomalies within the data source.

You need to ensure that column distribution considers all rows in the
Excel file.

What should you do?

Select only one answer.

In the Data Source Settings, modify the Advanced settings.
In the Data Source Settings, modify the Edit Permissions settings.
In the Power Query Editor window, enable the Column Profile
view.
This answer is correct.
In the Power Query Editor window, modify the Query Settings.
By default, Power BI uses the top 1,000 rows for profiling. To ensure that column
distribution considers all rows in the Excel file, you need to modify the Power Query
Editor profiling status setting. The Power Query Editor settings, Advanced settings,
and Permissions settings have no bearing on the profiling characteristics.

19)You are analyzing query data by using Power Query Editor.

You need to ensure that the Column statistics are based on an

analysis of the entire dataset.

What should you do?

Select only one answer.

Change the query connection type from Import to DirectQuery.

From the status bar, change profiling status to entire dataset.

This answer is correct.
In Power Query Editor, enable column profiling from the View
ribbon.
This answer is incorrect.
Load the data into the data model.
By default, column profiling is only based on the first 1000 rows of the preview.
Changing the column profile status to entire dataset will query the entire dataset for
the column profiling information.
20)You use Power BI Desktop to transform a query that retrieves
data from an Excel spreadsheet.

You need to view and modify multiple steps in all the M code.

Which interface should you use?

Select only one answer.

Advanced Editor in the Power Query Editor
This answer is correct.
Data view
Formula Bar in the Power Query Editor
Model view
This answer is incorrect.
The Advanced Editor in the Power Query Editor provides the ability to work with all
the M code used for shaping data in a query at once. Data view provides access to
data within a dataset. Model view provides access to the data model of a dataset. The
Formula Bar in the Power Query Editor provides the ability to edit only one step at a
time.

21)You have a query that has a column named Country and columns
for each month of sales data. The names of the sales data columns
use a format of Month Year, for example January 2022. The month
columns contain the Sales Amount values for each month.

You need to reshape the table to have all sales amount values in a
single column.

A new column should also be added and contain the relevant month
year for each row of data.

What should you do from the Power Query Editor?

Select only one answer.

Select the Country column and then select Pivot Column.
Select the Country column and then select Unpivot Other
Columns.
This answer is correct.
Select the first sales data column and then select Unpivot
Columns.
Select Transpose.
Selecting Unpivot Other Columns will unpivot all current and future month/year
columns into a new sales data column. Transposing treats rows as columns, and
columns as rows. It will not create a single sales data column. Selecting Unpivot
Columns in the first sales data column will successfully unpivot these columns into a
new single column for sales data, but the other sales month/year columns will not be
included in the new sales column. Pivoting the data takes values on rows in a column
and turns them into new columns.
22)You have a table that contains a column named ProductID.

The ProductID column contains values that have a prefix of PD

followed by five numbers. For example: pd15332.

You plan to convert the ProductID values to numbers (integer).

You need to remove the leading two letters from the current
ProductID values.

Which command should you use?

Select only one answer.

Remove Rows
Replace Errors
Replace Values
This answer is correct.
Trim
This answer is incorrect.
Only the Replace Values command allows the removal of leading characters, such as
“pd” from the column values. Trim removes leading and trailing whitespace. Remove
Rows doesn’t affect the values in a column, only the included rows. The prefix of PD
is not an error, so Replace Errors cannot remove the string.

23)From Power BI Desktop, you create a data source by importing a

Cosmos DB for NoSQL item collection.

You connect to the Cosmos DB account, database, and collection,

but the preview displays only a list of items named Record.

You need to select individual fields from items in the collection that
you want to load into Power BI Desktop.

What should you do first?

Select only one answer.

Open Power Query Editor.
This answer is correct.
Retrieve the Cosmos DB account key.
Retrieve the Cosmos DB connection string.
This answer is incorrect.
Switch to the model view.
This behavior is by design. The Preview pane in Power BI shows a list of Record
items when connecting to a collection of JSON formatted items. To view individual
item fields, open the Power Query window and use the Expander button on the right
side of the Column1 header to display the list of fields. Switching to the model view
would not benefit us in any way, since the data has not been imported yet. Retrieving
Cosmos DB account key or connection string at this point is meaningless, since that
was required to connect to Cosmos DB account, which has been already completed.
24)You have an Excel spreadsheet that contains two columns as
follows:

 Category: Contain names of categories

 Subcategory: Contain names of subcategories for each
category

You import the Excel spreadsheet into Power BI Desktop.

You need to transform the data to meet the following requirements:

 Have multiple columns, where one column represents one

category
 Have a single row that includes the total count of subcategories
for each category

Which transformation should you use?

Select only one answer.

Pivot Columns
This answer is correct.
Rename Columns
Transpose Table
Unpivot Columns
The pivot column operation converts data into a table by aggregating values in a
column. In this case, you can pivot the columns to calculate the count of product
subcategories in each product category. The unpivot column operation performs the
opposite task, converting columns into rows. Renaming columns would result in a
table with different column names but the same data content. Transposing would
simply switch rows and columns, without the required aggregation.

25)You have an Azure SQL database that contains two tables named
SalesOrders and SalesOrderDetails.

You load the SalesOrders and SalesOrderDetails tables into Power BI

Desktop. The tables have a relationship based upon the
SalesOrderID column.

You need to combine the two tables into one table. The solution
must meet the following requirements:

 There is a row for every SalesOrderDetails row in the resulting

table, even if there is no corresponding SalesOrders row.
 For every SalesOrderDetails row, the row in the resulting table
includes the corresponding SalesOrders row data if the
SalesOrder row exists.
  Any SalesOrder row data that does not have corresponding
SalesOrderDetails rows is not included in the resulting table.

What should you do to combine the two tables?

Select only one answer.

Append the tables
. Merge the tables using the full outer join kind based on the sales
order id.
Merge the tables using the inner join kind based on the sales order
id.
Merge the tables using the left outer join kind based on the sales
order id.
This answer is correct.
To construct the resulting table, it is necessary to merge tables using the left outer join
kind with the SalesOrderDetails as the first table. Appending tables in this context
would not make sense, since they do not have the same columns. Merging using the
inner join kind would not produce a table that includes a sales order details row where
there is no corresponding sales order row. Full outer join would produce a table that
includes sales order row data that do not have corresponding sales order details.

26)You have a Power BI model with the following fact tables and
storage modes.

 FactStoreSales (Import mode)

 FactOnlineSales (DirectQuery mode)

You have a dimension table named DimCalendar that has a

relationship to both fact tables.

You need to assign a storage mode for DimCalendar. The solution

must minimize the time to execute queries that combine data from
the dimension table and the fact tables.

Which storage mode should you use?

Select only one answer.

DirectQuery
Dual
This answer is correct.
Import
none
Using Dual mode means that either an import query can be run when accessing data
from FactStoreSales, or a DirectQuery query can be run when accessing data
from FactOnlineSales. Using Import mode means the queries are only optimized
for FactStoreSales (Import). Using DirectQuery mode means the queries are only
optimized for FactOnlineSales (DirectQuery). A storage mode of Import,
DirectQuery, or Dual must be assigned.
27)You connect Power Query Editor to a database table.

You need to remove the Row ID column. Your solution must ensure
that new columns do NOT display in the table model during a
scheduled refresh in the future.

What transformation should you use?

Select only one answer.

Select Row ID, then use the Remove Other
Columns command.
Use the Remove Column command on the Row ID column.
Use the Select Columns command and chose the columns to keep.
This answer is correct.
Use the Transpose command, then filter the rows to
remove Row ID.

Only the Select Columns command will let you choose columns to keep, delete the
columns you do not want, and prevent new columns from showing up in the table in
the future.

28)You need to create a Power BI dashboard.

Which tool should you use?

Select only one answer.

Power BI Desktop
Power Query Editor the
Power BI mobile app
The Power BI service
This answer is correct.
The Power BI service provides support for creating Power BI dashboards. The Power
BI mobile app can be used to view dashboards, but not to create them. Power BI
Desktop does not provide support for creating Power BI dashboards. Power Query is a
Microsoft Excel tool that is used for importing data, but not for creating dashboards.

29)You are evaluating whether you need to create a dashboard in

Power BI.

In which scenario do you need a dashboard instead of a report in

Power BI?

Select only one answer.

You need to add filters.
You need to add slicers.
You need to display visuals on multiple pages.
You need to display visuals that use different datasets.
This answer is correct.
The ability to combine data from multiple datasets is one of the features that is
available in dashboards but not supported in reports. Dashboards do not include the
Filter, Visualization, and Fields panes that are available in Power BI Desktop when
working with dashboards. Dashboards, unlike reports, contain only a single page.

30)You need to create a dashboard from a published report in Power

BI.

Which option in the report should you use?

Select only one answer.

Copy visual as image
Export data
Pin visual
This answer is correct.
Spotlight
The Pin visual option allows you to pin the visual to an existing dashboard or create a
new one. The Copy visual as image option allows you to copy a visual as an image to
Clipboard. The Export data option allows you to export data in the xlsx or csv
formats, but not create a dashboard. The Spotlight option allows you to highlight a
visual on the report page, but not create a dashboard.

31)You manage a Power BI workspace in shared capacity. The

workspace contains a report that uses a dataset named DS1.

You need to implement an incremental refresh of DS1.

What should you do first?

Select only one answer.

In Power BI Desktop, define filter parameters.
This answer is correct.
In Power BI Desktop, define the incremental refresh policy.
Publish the dataset to the Power BI service.
This answer is incorrect.
Upgrade the Power BI workspace to the Premium SKU.
To implement an incremental refresh of the dataset, you first need to define an
incremental refresh policy, which, in turn, requires defining filter parameters. An
incremental refresh policy does not require upgrading to a Premium SKU. Publishing
the dataset to the Power BI service is required for the incremental refresh policy to
take effect, so it's the last step of setting up an incremental refresh.

32)You manage a Power BI workspace that includes a dataset with

your company's sales data. You create a report that displays the
sales data grouped by department.
You need to use row-level security to ensure that, once the report is
published, employees in each department can only see the sales
data for their department.

What should you do first?

Select only one answer.

Deploy the report to the Power BI service.
In Power BI Desktop, create a role.
This answer is correct.
In Power BI Desktop, define filter parameters.
Upgrade the Power BI workspace to the Premium SKU.
To use row-level security to ensure that, once the report is published, employees in
each department can only see the sales data for that department, you first need to
create a role and a corresponding DAX expression. Filter parameters are used for
other purposes, such as incremental refresh policy, not row-level security. Deploying
the report to the Power BI service is required for the row-level security to take effect,
so it takes place after creating the relevant roles. Row-level security does not require
upgrading to the Premium SKU.

33)You have a Power BI dataset.

You need to set the dataset as discoverable.

Which two configurations will allow the dataset to be marked as

discoverable? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

Certify the dataset.
This answer is correct.
Enable RLS on the dataset.
This answer is incorrect.
Promote the dataset.
This answer is correct.
Publish dataset to a Premium workspace.
A certified dataset can be configured to be discoverable for users without access to
request permissions to access. A promoted dataset can be configured to be
discoverable for users without access to request permissions to access. RLS is not
required on a dataset to become discoverable. Premium (capacity or shared) is not
required to make a dataset discoverable.

34)You have a collection of datasets and reports.

You need to share the datasets and report together. This solution
must NOT send any email notifications to internal users after
sharing.
What should you create in the Power BI Service?

Select only one answer.

a deployment pipeline
a workspace
an app
This answer is correct.
metrics
Workspace apps can be installed automatically for any user in an organization, and
without requiring notifications of installation. Deployment pipelines are used for
moving artifacts between test, development, and production environments. Metrics
are where you can create goals based off existing datasets. You can add members to a
workspace, but they receive a notification that they’ve been added to the workspace.

35)You have several on-premises Microsoft SQL Server databases.

You need to provide Power BI Service users access to the data

sources without exposing the database servers directly to the
internet.

The solution must minimize the configurations that must be

performed by each user.

What should you deploy?

Select only one answer.

a virtual network data gateway an
ExpressRoute connection
an on-premises data gateway
This answer is correct.
an on-premises data gateway (personal mode)
An on-premises gateway is designed to allow multiple users to access multiple data
sources. An on-premises data gateway only allows one user to access multiple data
sources. A virtual network data gateway is designed to allow multiple users to access
multiple online data sources. However, it isn’t installed locally and only works with
data sources secured by virtual networks.

36)You have designed a star schema to simplify your data.

You need to understand the relationship between the tables in the

star schema.

What is the relationship from a fact table to a dimension table?

Select only one answer.

many-to-many
many-to-one
This answer is correct.
one-to-many
one-to-one
There is a many-to-one relationship from a fact table and dimension table. For each
row in a dimension table there may be multiple matching rows in the fact table.

37)You create a Power BI Desktop dataset by importing and

transforming a data source based on multiple tables in a SQL Server
database.

You need to modify the relationship between the tables.

Which interface should you use in the Power BI Desktop?

Select only one answer.

Data view
Model view
This answer is correct.
Page view
Report view
The relationship between tables is configurable from the Model view. The Data view
provides access to data within a dataset. The Report view provides the ability to build
reports. The Page view is an option available from within the Report view and is
intended to simplify designing and building reports.

38)You are designing a data model in Power BI.

You need to avoid introducing ambiguity into your data model

design.

Which type of cardinality should you avoid?

Select only one answer.

many-to-many
This answer is correct.
many-to-one
one-to-many
one-to-one
Many-to-many cardinality in Power BI should be avoided due to ambiguity, resulting
from the presence of non-unique values. One-to-one cardinality in Power BI should
be avoided and, if present, should be eliminated by combining the related tables.
However, this type does not introduce ambiguity. One-to-many and many-to-one
cardinality are two common cardinality types, used for the relationships between a
fact and dimension tables.
39)You need to prevent hidden date tables from being auto
generated by Power BI Desktop for every date or datetime data type
column in a dataset.

What two tasks should you perform? Each correct answer presents a
complete solution

Select all answers that apply.

Enable Mark as date table for the Calendar table.
This answer is correct.
From the Current File options in Power BI Desktop, disable Auto
Date/Time
This answer is correct.
From the Global options in Power BI Desktop, disable Auto
Date/Time for new files.
Set the Data Category to None for all Date and DateTime fields.
Disabling Auto Date/Time for new files from the Current File options will disable all
Auto Date/Time tables in this dataset. Enabling Mark as date table for the Calendar
table will also disable the auto datetime tables in the dataset. Disabling the Global
option Auto Date/Time for new files means that new files will no longer have Auto
Date/Time enabled, but the file containing the current dataset will still have it enabled
until it is disabled. Changing the data category will not impact the auto date table
feature.

40)You have a Power BI model.

You need to assign items to a display folder.

Which three items can be assigned to a display folder? Each correct

answer presents part of the solution.

Select all answers that apply.

Calculated column
This answer is correct.
Column
This answer is correct.
Measure
This answer is correct.
Report
This answer is incorrect.
Table
This answer is incorrect.
Tables and reports cannot be assigned a display folder. Columns, calculated columns,
and measures can be assigned a display folder.

41)You create a data model in Power BI Desktop that contains DAX

calculated columns and measures. You now need to create a report.
In which two places can a DAX calculated column be used, but a
DAX calculated measure cannot be used? Each correct answer
presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

as a filter in the “Filters on this page” well of the Filters pane
This answer is correct.
as a filter in the “Filters on this visual” well of the Filters pane
as an item in the “Add drill-through fields here” well of the
Visualizations pane
This answer is incorrect.
as an item in the Fields well of a slicer
This answer is correct.
Unlike a measure, a calculated column can be used in a slicer to place filter options on
the report page.
DAX measures cannot be placed in the “Filters on this page” well. They can only be
placed per visual, in the “Filters on this visual” well of the Filters Pane. Both DAX
columns and measures may be used as a visual-level filter. Both DAX columns and
measures can be used in the drillthrough well.

42)In Power BI Desktop, you need to create a measure.

Which two interfaces can you use? Each correct answer presents a
complete the solution.

Select all answers that apply.

Data view
This answer is correct.
Page view
Power Query Editor
Report view
This answer is correct.
The Report view provides the ability to create measures. To create a measure, use the
context sensitive menu of the Fields list or the Calculations section of the ribbon. The
Data view provides access to data within a dataset and includes the option to create a
measure in the Calculations section of the ribbon. Page view and Power Query Editor
do not include the option to create a measure.

43)You have a Power BI Desktop dataset that includes a table

named Warehouse. The Warehouse table includes a column named
Inventory Count, which contains the current number of items for
each row of a particular type on a given day.

You have the following Data Analysis Expression (DAX) query that
calculates the sum of all values in the Inventory Count column of the
Warehouse table:
Current Inventory Count =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Warehouse'[Inventory Count] ))

You need to ensure that Current Inventory Count returns only the
current total number of inventory items, rather than the sum of all
inventory items that includes item counts from previous days.

What DAX function should you include in the query?

Select only one answer.

CALENDAR
CALENDARAUTO
DISTINCTCOUNT
LASTDATE
This answer is correct.
The LASTDATE function will ensure that the SUM function applies only to the last date
of the time period, resulting in a semi-additive behavior.
The DISTINCTCOUNT function counts the number of distinct values in a column, which
results in additive behavior. The CALENDAR function returns a table with a column
named Date that contains a contiguous set of dates based on the start date and end
date that you specify. The CALENDARAUTO function returns a table with a column
named Date that contains a contiguous set of dates based on data in the model.

44)You need to enhance a data model by using Power BI Desktop.

Data for which two model items can be created using the DAX
language? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

calculated table
This answer is correct.
display folder
This answer is incorrect.
hierarchies
numeric range parameter
This answer is correct.
Calculated tables are generated with DAX queries. Numeric range parameters create a
table and measure, both generated with DAX queries. Hierarchies are helpful for
drilldown and are defined as part of the data model, but they are not generated by
using DAX. Display folders are a way to visually organize measures, columns, or
hierarchies. DAX is not used to create them.

45)You need to use DAX quick measures to generate results to use

in a report.

Which type of DAX quick measure calculations will NOT work

against a DirectQuery table?
Select only one answer.
aggregate per category
mathematical operations
time intelligence
This answer is correct.
X-functions
Time intelligence functions have performance implications and are disabled for quick
measures against DirectQuery tables. Mathematical operations, aggregate per
category, and X-functions are all supported against DirectQuery.

46)You plan to run Power BI Desktop Performance Analyzer.

You need to ensure that the data engine cache will NOT impact the
test results without restarting Power BI Desktop.

What should you do first?

Select only one answer.

Add a blank page to the .pbix file and select it.
This answer is incorrect.
Connect DAX Studio to the data model.
This answer is correct.
Invoke the Clear Cache function.
Invoke the Refresh Metadata function.

DAX Studio, once connected to the data model, can be used to clear the data engine
cache. The Clear Cache function can be invoked from DAX Studio, once you connect
it to the data model. The Refresh Metadata function can be invoked from DAX Studio
to update the metadata of the currently selected model. Adding a blank page to
the .pbix file and selecting it is the first step in clearing the visual cache, not the data
engine cache.

47)You decide to remove unnecessary columns from your data

model.

What are two potential performance benefits of doing this? Each

correct answer presents a complete solution.

Select all answers that apply.

decreasing report page load times
This answer is incorrect.
increasing DAX performance
This answer is incorrect.
increasing the refresh speed
This answer is correct.
reducing the size of the data model
This answer is correct.
Fewer columns mean there is less data to import and will reduce the model size and
decrease the time it takes to refresh the model. Since row counts aren’t changing, the
calculation speed of any existing DAX measures won’t change. Report page load
times are primarily determined by number of visuals (objects) on the page, and DAX
performance. Neither of which are impacted by unnecessary model columns.

48)You have Power BI Desktop.

You need to determine query timings for a report page visual.

Which method should you use?

Select only one answer.

Refresh the data model.
Run the Best Practices analyzer in Tabular Editor.
Use Session Diagnostics from the Power Query Editor.
Use the Performance analyzer.
This answer is correct.

The Performance analyzer will show the query timings for each object on a report
page. Session diagnostics measures Power Query query performance as it relates to
refresh times. It is unrelated to measuring DAX performance or report page query
timings. The Best Practices analyzer reviews the model for best practices around
things like model design, relationships, field naming conventions, and measures. But
is unrelated to any query timings for report page visuals.

49)You have a Power BI Desktop PBIX file that contains a single page
report with multiple visuals.

You plan to use Performance Analyzer to evaluate the performance

of the visuals.

You need to eliminate the impact of visual caching during the

evaluation.

What should you do first?

Select only one answer.

Add a blank page to the PBIX file.
This answer is correct.
Connect DAX Studio to the data model.
Reopen the PBIX file.
Start recording.

To eliminate the impact of visual caching during a performance evaluation when

using Performance Analyzer to evaluate the visuals, you must first add a blank page
to the report, select that page, and then reopen the PBIX file. Connecting DAX Studio
to the data model is the first step to clear the data engine cache. Recording should not
be started until both the visual cache and the data engine cache are cleared.
