Topic 1, Litware, Inc.

Overview
Litware, Inc. is a retail company that sells outdoor recreational goods and accessories. The company
sells goods both online and at its stores located in six countries.
Azure Resources
Litware has the following Azure resources:
• An Azure Synapse Analytics workspace named synapseworkspace1
• An Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named datalake1 that is associated with
synapseworkspace1
• A Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool named SQLDW
Dedicated SQL Pool
SQLDW contains a dimensional model that contains the following table.
SQLDW contains the following additional tables.
SQLDW contains a view named dbo.CustomerPurchases that creates a distinct list of values from
dbo.Customer [customeriD], dbo.Customer
[CustomerEmail], dbo.ProductfProductID] and dbo.Product[ProductName].
The sales data in SQLDW is updated every 30 minutes. Records in dbo.SalesTransactions are updated
in SQLDW up to three days after being created. The records do NOT change after three days.
Power BI
Litware has a new Power Bl tenant that contains an empty workspace named Sales Analytics.
All users have Power B1 Premium per user licenses.
IT data analysts are workspace administrators. The IT data analysts will create datasets and reports.
A single imported dataset will be created to support the company's sales analytics goals. The dataset
will be refreshed every 30 minutes.

Analytics Goals
Litware identifies the following analytics goals:
• Provide historical reporting of sales by product and channel over time.
• Allow sales managers to perform ad hoc sales reporting with minimal effort.
• Perform market basket analysis to understand which products are commonly purchased in the
same transaction.
• Identify which customers should receive promotional emails based on their likelihood of
purchasing promoted products.
Litware plans to monitor the adoption of Power Bl reports over time. The company wants custom
Power Bl usage reporting that includes the percent change of users that view reports in the Sales
Analytics workspace each month.
Security Requirements
Litware identifies the following security requirements for the analytics environment:
• All the users in the sales department and the marketing department must be able to see Power B1
reports that contain market basket analysis and data about which customers are likely to purchase a
product.
• Customer contact data in SQLDW and the Power B1 dataset must be labeled as Sensitive. Records
must be kept of any users that use the sensitive data.
• Sales associates must be prevented from seeing the CustomerEmail column in Power B1 reports.
• Sales managers must be prevented from modifying reports created by other users.
Development Process Requirements
Litware identifies the following development process requirements:
• SQLDW and datalake1 will act as the development environment. Once feature development is
complete, all entities in synapseworkspace1 will be promoted to a test workspace, and then to a
production workspace.
• Power Bl content must be deployed to test and production by using deployment pipelines.
• All SQL scripts must be stored in Azure Repos.
The IT data analysts prefer to build Power Bl reports in Synapse Studio.
Question: 1
DRAG DROP
You need to implement object-level security (OLS) in the Power Bl dataset for the sales associates.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from
the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Explanation:
Question: 2
What should you configure in the deployment pipeline?
A. a backward deployment
B. a selective deployment
C. auto-binding
D. a data source rule
Answer: D
Explanation:
Development Process Requirements

Litware identifies the following development process requirements:
SQLDW and datalake1 will act as the development environment. Once feature development is
complete, all entities in synapseworkspace1 will be promoted to a test workspace, and then to a
production workspace.
Power BI content must be deployed to test and production by using deployment pipelines.
Create deployment rules

When working in a deployment pipeline, different stages may have different configurations. For
example, each stage can have different databases or different query parameters. The development
stage might query sample data from the database, while the test and production stages query the
entire database.
When you deploy content between pipeline stages, configuring deployment rules enables you to
allow changes to content, while keeping some settings intact. For example, if you want a dataset in a
production stage to point to a production database, you can define a rule for this. The rule is defined
in the production stage, under the appropriate dataset. Once the rule is defined, content deployed
from test to production, will inherit the value as defined in the deployment rule, and will always
apply as long as the rule is unchanged and valid.
You can configure data source rules and parameter rules.
Incorrect:
Not B: if you already have a steady production environment, you can deploy it backward (to Test or
Dev, based on your need) and set up the pipeline. The feature is not limited to any sequential orders.

form of a table source in the query. Table source can be a table, table alias, CTE alias, view, or table-
valued function.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/predict-transact-sql
Question: 4
DRAG DROP
You need to create the customized Power Bl usage reporting. The Usage Metrics Report dataset has
already been created. The solution must minimize development and administrative effort.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: From powerbi.com, create a new report..

The company wants custom Power BI usage reporting that includes the percent change of users that
view reports in the Sales Analytics workspace each month.
Step 2: Add a report measure

Measures are used in some of the most common data analyses. Simple summarizations such as
sums, averages, minimum, maximum and counts can be set through the Fields well. The calculated
results of measures are always changing in response to your interaction with your reports, allowing
for fast and dynamic ad-hoc data exploration.
Step 3: Add visuals to the report
Step 4: Publish the report to the Sales Analytics workspace
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-measures
Question: 5
You need to configure the Sales Analytics workspace to meet the ad hoc reporting requirements.
What should you do?
A. Grant the sales managers the Build permission for the existing Power Bl datasets.
B. Grant the sales managers admin access to the existing Power Bl workspace.
C. Create a deployment pipeline and grant the sales managers access to the pipeline.
D. Create a PBIT file and distribute the file to the sales managers.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Allow sales managers to perform ad hoc sales reporting with minimal effort
Power BI report templates contain the following information from the report from which they were
generated:
Report pages, visuals, and other visual elements

The data model definition, including the schema, relationships, measures, and other model
definition items
All query definitions, such as queries, Query Parameters, and other query elements
What is not included in templates is the report's data.
Report templates use the file extension .PBIT (compare to Power BI Desktop reports, which use the
.PBIX extension).
Note: With Power BI Desktop, you can create compelling reports that share insights across your
entire organization. With Power BI Desktop templates, you can streamline your work by creating a
report template, based on an existing template, which you or other users in your organization can
use as a starting point for a new report's layout, data model, and queries. Templates in Power BI
Desktop help you jump-start and standardize report creation.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-templates

Topic 2, Contoso, Ltd
Overview
Contoso, Ltd. is a company that sells enriched financial data to a variety of external customers.
Contoso has a main office in Los Angeles and two branch offices in New York and Seattle.
Data Infrastructure
Contoso has a 50-TB data warehouse that uses an instance of SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.
The data warehouse populates an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace that is accessed by the
external customers. Currently, the customers can access alt the data.
Contoso has one Power Bl workspace named FinData that contains a single dataset. The dataset
contains financial data from around the world. The workspace is used by 10 internal users and one
external customer. The dataset has the following two data sources: the data warehouse and the
Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool.
Users frequently query the Synapse Analytics workspace by using Transact-SQL.
User Problems
Contoso identifies the following user issues:
• Some users indicate that the visuals in Power Bl reports are slow to render when making filter
selections.
• Users indicate that queries against the serverless SQL pool fail occasionally because the size of
tempdb has been exceeded.
• Users indicate that the data in Power Bl reports is stale. You discover that the refresh process of the
Power Bl model occasionally times out
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to implement the following changes:
• Into the existing Power Bl dataset, integrate an external data source that is accessible by using the
REST API.
• Build a new dataset in the FinData workspace by using data from the Synapse Analytics dedicated
SQL pool.
• Provide all the customers with their own Power Bl workspace to create their own reports. Each
workspace will use the new dataset in the FinData workspace.
• Implement subscription levels for the customers. Each subscription level will provide access to
specific rows of financial data.
• Deploy prebuilt datasets to Power Bl to simplify the query experience of the customers.
• Provide internal users with the ability to incorporate machine learning models loaded to the
dedicated SQL pool.
Question: 8
You need to recommend a solution to add new fields to the financial data Power Bl dataset with data
from the Microsoft SQL Server data warehouse.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A. Azure Purview
B. Site-to-Site VPN
C. an XMLA endpoint
D. the on-premises data gateway
Answer: D
Explanation:
Refresh data from an on-premises SQL Server database

The SQL Server database must be accessed by Power BI through an on-premises data gateway.
You can install an on-premises data gateway on the same local computer as SQL Server (in
production, it would typically be a different computer).
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-gateway-sql-tutorial
Question: 9
You need to recommend a solution for the customer workspaces to support the planned changes.
Which two configurations should you include in the recommendation? Each correct answer presents
part of the solution.
A. Set Use datasets across workspaces to Enabled

B. Publish the financial data to the web.
C. Grant the Build permission for the financial data to each customer.
D. Configure the FinData workspace to use a Power Bl Premium capacity.
Answer: AD
Explanation:
Build a new dataset in the FinData workspace by using data from the Synapse Analytics dedicated
SQL pool.
Provide all the customers with their own Power BI workspace to create their own reports. Each
workspace will use the new dataset in the FinData workspace
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-datasets-admin-across-
workspaces
Question: 10
DRAG DROP
You need to integrate the external data source to support the planned changes.
Answer:
Explanation:
Question: 11
DRAG DROP
You need to create Power BI reports that will display data based on the customers’ subscription level.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Create row-level security (RLS) roles

Create roles
Note: Provide all the customers with their own Power BI workspace to create their own reports. Each
workspace will use the new dataset in the FinData workspace.
Implement subscription levels for the customers. Each subscription level will provide access to
specific rows of financial data.
Deploy prebuilt datasets to Power BI to simplify the query experience of the customers.
Step 2: Create a DAX expression

Consider a model with two roles: The first role, named Workers, restricts access to all Payroll table
rows by using the following rule expression:
FALSE()
Note: A rule will return no table rows when its expression evaluates to false.
Yet, a second role, named Managers, allows access to all Payroll table rows by using the following
rule expression:
TRUE()
Take care: Should a report user map to both roles, they'll see all Payroll table rows.
Step 3: Add members to row-level security (RLS) roles

Configure role mappings
Once [the model is] published to Power BI, you must map members to dataset roles.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/rls-guidance
Question: 12
You need to identify the root cause of the data refresh issue.
What should you use?
A. the Usage Metrics Report in powerbi.com

B. Query Diagnostics in Power Query Editor
C. Performance analyzer in Power Bl Desktop
Answer: B
Explanation:
Users indicate that the data in Power BI reports is stale. You discover that the refresh process of the
Power BI model occasionally times out.
With Query Diagnostics, you can achieve a better understanding of what Power Query is doing at
authoring and at refresh time in Power BI Desktop. While we'll be expanding on this feature in the
future, including adding the ability to use it during full refreshes, at this time you can use it to
understand what sort of queries you're emitting, what slowdowns you might run into during
authoring refresh, and what kind of background events are happening.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/querydiagnostics
Question: 13
Which two possible tools can you use to identify what causes the report to render slowly? Each
correct answer presents a complete solution.
A. Synapse Studio
B. DAX Studio
C. Azure Data Studio
D. Performance analyzer in Power Bl Desktop
Answer: BD
Explanation:
Some users indicate that the visuals in Power BI reports are slow to render when making filter
selections.
B: You can investigate a slow query in a Power BI report using DAX Studio, looking at the query plan
and the server timings.
D: Use Power BI Desktop Performance Analyzer to optimize the report or model.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/report-performance-troubleshoot
Question: 14
You need to recommend a solution to resolve the query issue of the serverless SQL pool. The solution
must minimize impact on the users.
What should you in the recommendation?
A. Update the statistics for the serverless SQL pool.

B. Move the data from the serverless SQL pool to a dedicated Apache Spark pool.
C. Execute the sp_sec_process_daca_limic stored procedure for the serverless SQL pool.
D. Move the data from the serverless SQL pool to a dedicated SQL pool.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Users indicate that queries against the serverless SQL pool fail occasionally because the size of
tempdb has been exceeded.
In the dedicated SQL pool resource, temporary tables offer a performance benefit because their
results are written to local rather than remote storage.
Temporary tables in serverless SQL pool.
Temporary tables in serverless SQL pool are supported but their usage is limited. They can't be used
in queries which target files.
For example, you can't join a temporary table with data from files in storage. The number of
temporary tables is limited to 100, and their total size is limited to 100 MB.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql/develop-tables-temporary
Question: 15
HOTSPOT
You need to build a Transact-SQL query to implement the planned changes for the internal users.
How should you complete the Transact-SQL query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the
answer area.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: PREDICT
Provide internal users with the ability to incorporate machine learning models loaded to the
dedicated SQL pool.
The example below shows a sample query using prediction function. An additional column with
name Score and data type float is created containing the prediction results. All the input data
columns as well as output prediction columns are available to display with the select statement.

Topic 3, Misc. Questions
Question: 16
You develop a solution that uses a Power Bl Premium capacity. The capacity contains a dataset that is
expected to consume 50 GB of memory.
Which two actions should you perform to ensure that you can publish the model successfully to the
Power Bl service? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. Increase the Max Offline Dataset Size setting.

B. Invoke a refresh to load historical data based on the incremental refresh policy.
C. Restart the capacity.
D. Publish an initial dataset that is less than 10 GB.
E. Publish the complete dataset.
Answer: BE
Explanation:
Enable large datasets

Steps here describe enabling large datasets for a new model published to the service. For existing
datasets, only step 3 is necessary.
Create a model in Power BI Desktop. If your dataset will become larger and progressively consume
more memory, be sure to configure Incremental refresh.
Publish the model as a dataset to the service.
In the service > dataset > Settings, expand Large dataset storage format, set the slider to On, and
then select Apply.
Enable large dataset slider
Invoke a refresh to load historical data based on the incremental refresh policy. The first refresh
could take a while to load the history. Subsequent refreshes should be faster, depending on your
incremental refresh policy.

Question: 17
DRAG DROP
You have a Power Bl dataset that contains the following measures:
• Budget
• Actuals
• Forecast
You create a report that contains 10 visuals.
You need provide users with the ability to use a slicer to switch between the measures in two visuals
only.
You create a dedicated measure named cg Measure switch.
How should you complete the DAX expression for the Actuals measure? To answer, drag the
appropriate values to the targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You
may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: SELECTEDMEASURENAME()
SELECTEDMEASURENAME is used by expressions for calculation items to determine the measure
that is in context by name.
Syntax: SELECTEDMEASURENAME()
No parameters.
Example:
The following calculation item expression checks if the current measure is Expense Ratio and
conditionally applies calculation logic. Since the check is based on a string comparison, it is not
subject to formula fixup and will not benefit from object renaming being automatically reflected. For
a similar comparison that would benefit from formula fixup, please see the ISSLECTEDMEASURE
function instead.
IF (
SELECTEDMEASURENAME = "Expense Ratio",
SELECTEDMEASURE (),
DIVIDE ( SELECTEDMEASURE (), COUNTROWS ( DimDate ) )
)
Box 2: SELECTEDVALUE()
SELECTEDVALUE returns the value when the context for columnName has been filtered down to one
distinct value only. Otherwise returns alternateResult.
Syntax:
SELECTEDVALUE(<columnName>[, <alternateResult>])
M1, M2, ... - A list of measures.

Question: 18
You have a Power Bi workspace named Workspacel in a Premium capacity. Workspacel contains a
dataset.
During a scheduled refresh, you receive the following error message: "Unable to save the changes
since the new dataset size of 11,354 MB exceeds the limit of 10,240 MB."
You need to ensure that you can refresh the dataset.
What should you do?
A. Turn on Large dataset storage format.

B. Connect Workspace1 to an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account
C. Change License mode to Premium per user.
D. Change the location of the Premium capacity.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Assigning workspaces to capacities

Workspaces can be assigned to a Premium capacity in the Power BI Admin portal or, for a workspace,
in the Workspace pane.
Note: Capacity limits

Workspace storage limits, whether for My Workspace or an app workspace, depend on whether the
workspace is in shared or Premium capacity.
* Shared capacity limits

For workspaces in shared capacity:
There is a per-workspace storage limit of 10 GB.

Premium Per User (PPU) tenants have a 100 TB storage limit.
When using a Pro license, the total usage can’t exceed the tenant storage limit of 10 GB multiplied by
the number of Pro licenses in the tenant.
* Premium capacity limits

For workspaces in Premium capacity:
There is a limit of 100 TB per Premium capacity.
There is no per-user storage limit.
Workspace storage usage is shown as 0 (as shown in this screenshot) if the workspace is assigned to
a Premium capacity.
Incorrect:
Not C: If your organization is using the original version of Power BI Premium, you're required to
migrate to the modern Premium Gen2 platform. Microsoft began migrating all Premium capacities to
Gen2.

Question: 19
You have a dataset that contains a table named UserPermissions. UserPermissions contains the
following data.
You plan to create a security role named User Security for the dataset. You need to filter the dataset
based on the current users. What should you include in the DAX expression?
A. [UserPermissions] - USERNAME()
B. [UserPermissions] - USERPRINCIPALNAME()
C. [User] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()
D. [User] = USERNAME()
E. [User] = USEROBJECTID()
Answer: D
Explanation:
USERNAME() returns the domain name and username from the credentials given to the system at
connection time.
It should be compared to column name of User, which in DAX is expressed through [User].
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/username-function-dax
Question: 20
You have a Power Bl dataset that uses DirectQuery against an Azure SQL database.
Multiple reports use the dataset.
A database administrator reports that too many queries are being sent from Power Bl to the
database.
You need to reduce the number of queries sent to the database. The solution must meet the
following requirements:
• DirectQuery must continue to be used.
• Visual interactions in all the reports must remain as they are configured currently.
• Consumers of the reports must only be allowed to apply filters from the Filter pane.
Which two settings should you select? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. Disabling cross highlighting/filtering by default

B. Add a single Apply button to the filter pane to apply changes at once
C. Add an Apply button to each slicer to apply changes when you're ready
D. Add Apply buttons to all basic filters to apply changes when you're ready
E. Ignore the Privacy Levels and potentially improve performance
Answer: BC
Explanation:
Reduce queries
Reduce the number of queries sent by Power BI using the Query reduction settings. For slicers, select
the “Add an Apply button to each slicer to apply changes when you’re ready” option. For filters,
select “Add a single Apply button to the filter pane to apply changes at once (preview).”

Question: 24
DRAG DROP
You have a Power Bl dataset. The dataset contains data that is updated frequently.
You need to improve the performance of the dataset by using incremental refreshes.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence to enable the incremental refreshes? To answer,
move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the
correct order.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Create RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters.

Create parameters
In this task, use Power Query Editor to create RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters with default
values. The default values apply only when filtering the data to be loaded into the model in Power BI
Desktop. The values you enter should include only a small amount of the most recent data from your
data source. When published to the service, these values are overridden by the incremental refresh
policy.
Step 2: Apply a custom Date/Time filter to the data.

Filter data
With RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters defined, apply a filter based on conditions in the
RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters.
Before continuing with this task, verify your source table has a date column of Date/Time data type.
Step 3: Define the incremental refresh policy for the table.

Define policy
After you've defined RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters, and filtered data based on those
parameters, you define an incremental refresh policy. The policy is applied only after the model is
published to the service and a manual or scheduled refresh operation is performed.
Step 4: Publish the model to the Power BI service.

Save and publish to the service
When your RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters, filtering, and refresh policy settings are complete,
be sure to save your model, and then publish to the service.

You need to retrieve the value of a column named Unit Price from a DataFrame.
How should you reference the Unit Price column in the Python code?
A. pandas.DataFrame('Unit Price')
B. dataset['Unit Price']
C. data = [Unit Price]
D. ('Unit Price')
Answer: A
Explanation:
You can retrieve a column in a pandas DataFrame object by using the DataFrame object name,
followed by the label of the column name in brackets.
So if the DataFrame object name is dataframe1 and the column we are trying to retrieve the 'X'
column, then we retrieve the column using the statement, dataframe1['X'].
Here's a simple Python script that imports pandas and uses a data frame:
import pandas as pd
data = [['Alex',10],['Bob',12],['Clarke',13]]
df = pd.DataFrame(data,columns=['Name','Age'],dtype=float)
print (df)
When run, this script returns:

Name Age
0 Alex 10.0
1 Bob 12.0
2 Clarke 13.0

You have a Power Bl workspace that contains one dataset and four reports that connect to the
dataset. The dataset uses Import storage mode and contains the following data sources:
• A CSV file in an Azure Storage account

• An Azure Database for PostgreSQL database
You plan to use deployment pipelines to promote the content from development to test to
production. There will be different data source locations for each stage. What should you include in
the deployment pipeline to ensure that the appropriate data source locations are used during each
stage?
A. parameter rules
B. selective deployment
C. auto-binding across pipelines
D. data source rules
Answer: A
Explanation:
Note: Create deployment rules

When working in a deployment pipeline, different stages may have different configurations. For
example, each stage can have different databases or different query parameters. The development
stage might query sample data from the database, while the test and production stages query the
entire database.
When you deploy content between pipeline stages, configuring deployment rules enables you to
allow changes to content, while keeping some settings intact. For example, if you want a dataset in a
production stage to point to a production database, you can define a rule for this. The rule is defined
in the production stage, under the appropriate dataset. Once the rule is defined, content deployed
from test to production, will inherit the value as defined in the deployment rule, and will always
apply as long as the rule is unchanged and valid.

information presented in the graphic.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: 3
Power Query doesn't start at the first query and work down, it starts at the bottom (last) query and
works backwards, so 3 tables from 1 will cause it to process that first source table 3 times.
Box 2: Using Table.Buffer in the Orders query
Table.Buffer buffers a table in memory, isolating it from external changes during evaluation.
Buffering is shallow. It forces the evaluation of any scalar cell values, but leaves non-scalar values
(records, lists, tables, and so on) as-is.
Note that using this function might or might not make your queries run faster. In some cases, it can
make your queries run more slowly due to the added cost of reading all the data and storing it in
memory, as well as the fact that buffering prevents downstream folding.
Example 1
Load all the rows of a SQL table into memory, so that any downstream operations will no longer be
able to query the SQL server.

A. All the query steps are folding.

B. Elevated permissions are being used to query records.
C. The query is timing out.
D. Some query steps are folding.

Explanation:
Understanding folding with Query Diagnostics

One of the most common reasons to use Query Diagnostics is to have a better understanding of what
operations were 'pushed down' by Power Query to be performed by the back-end data source, which
is also known as 'folding'. If we want to see what folded, we can look at what is the 'most specific'
query, or queries, that get sent to the back-end data source. We can look at this for both ODATA and
SQL.

In which file format should you recommend storing the table data?
A. JSON
B. Apache Parquet
C. CSV
D. Delta
Answer: B
Explanation:
Prepare files for querying

If possible, you can prepare files for better performance:
* Convert large CSV and JSON files to Parquet. Parquet is a columnar format. Because it's
compressed, its file sizes are smaller than CSV or JSON files that contain the same data. Serverless
SQL pool skips the columns and rows that aren't needed in a query if you're reading Parquet files.
Serverless SQL pool needs less time and fewer storage requests to read it.

You need to recommend a solution to minimize how long it takes to execute the query. The solution
must maintain the current functionality. What should you include in the recommendation?
A. Create calculated columns in Dataset1.

B. Remove the relationships from Dataset1.
C. Normalize the tables in DB1.
D. Denormalize the tables in DB1.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Denormalize to improve query performance.
Note: Normalization prevents data duplications, preserves disk space, and improves the
performance of the disk I/O operations. The downside of the normalization is that the queries based
on these normalized tables require more table joins.
Schema denormalization (i.e. consolidation of some dimension tables) for such databases can
significantly reduce costs of the analytical queries and improve the performance.

Question: 53
You are building a Power Bl dataset that will use two data sources.
The dataset has a query that uses a web data source. The web data source uses anonymous
authentication.
You need to ensure that the query can be used by all the other queries in the dataset.
Which privacy level should you select for the data source?
A. Public
B. Organizational
C. Private
D. None
Answer: A
Explanation:
A Public data source gives everyone visibility to the data contained in the data source. Only files,
internet data sources, or workbook data can be marked Public. Data from a Public data source may
be freely folded to other sources.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/desktop-privacy-levels
Question: 54
You have a file named File1.txt that has the following characteristics:
• A header row
• Tab delimited values
• UNIX-style line endings
You need to read File1.txt by using an Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool.
Which query should you execute?
A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D
Answer: A
Explanation:
Use FIELDTERMINATOR ='\t' for tab.

Use ROWTERMINATOR ='\0x0A ' for UNIX-style line endings
Use FIRSTROW= 2 for a header row
Note: Using Row Terminators
The row terminator can be the same character as the terminator for the last field. Generally,
however, a distinct row terminator is useful. For example, to produce tabular output, terminate the
last field in each row with the newline character (\n) and all other fields with the tab character (\t).
If you want to output a line feed character only (LF) as the row terminator - as is typical on Unix and
Linux computers - use hexadecimal notation to specify the LF row terminator. For example:
bcp -r '0x0A'
FIRSTROW
FIRSTROW =first_row Specifies the number of the first row to load. The default is 1. This indicates the
first row in the specified data file. The row numbers are determined by counting the row terminators.
FIRSTROW is 1-based.

Question: 55
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these
questions will not appear in the review screen.
You are using an Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool to query a collection of Apache Parquet
files by using automatic schema inference. The files contain more than 40 million rows of UTF-8-
encoded business names, survey names, and participant counts. The database is configured to use
the default collation.
The queries use open row set and infer the schema shown in the following table.
You need to recommend changes to the queries to reduce I/O reads and tempdb usage.
Solution: You recommend using openrowset with to explicitly define the collation for businessName
and surveyName as Latim_Generai_100_BiN2_UTF8.
Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: A
Explanation:
Query Parquet files using serverless SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.
Important
Ensure you are using a UTF-8 database collation (for example Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8)
because string values in PARQUET files are encoded using UTF-8 encoding. A mismatch between the
text encoding in the PARQUET file and the collation may cause unexpected conversion errors. You can
easily change the default collation of the current database using the following T-SQL statement: alter
database current collate Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8'.
Note: If you use the Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8 collation you will get an additional
performance boost compared to the other collations. The Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8 collation
is compatible with parquet string sorting rules. The SQL pool is able to eliminate some parts of the
parquet files that will not contain data needed in the queries (file/column-segment pruning). If you
use other collations, all data from the parquet files will be loaded into Synapse SQL and the filtering
is happening within the SQL process. The Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8 collation has additional
performance optimization that works only for parquet and CosmosDB. The downside is that you lose
fine-grained comparison rules like case insensitivity.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql/query-parquet-files
Question: 56
Solution: You recommend using openrowset with to explicitly specify the maximum length for
businessName and surveyName.
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: B

Question: 57
Solution: You recommend defining a data source and view for the Parquet files. You recommend
updating the query to use the view.
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
Solution: You recommend using OPENROWSET WITH to explicitly specify the maximum length for
businessName and surveyName.
The size of the varchar(8000) columns are too big. Better reduce their size.
A SELECT...FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...) statement queries the data in a file directly, without

importing the data into a table. SELECT...FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...) statements can also list bulk-
column aliases by using a format file to specify column names, and also data types.

Explanation:
Question: 64
You open a Power Bl Desktop report that contains an imported data model and a single report page.
You open Performance analyzer, start recording, and refresh the visuals on the page. The recording
produces the results shown in the following exhibit
What can you identify from the results?
A. The Actual/Forecast Hours by Type visual takes a long time to render on the report page when the
data is cross-filtered.
B. The Actual/Forecast Billable Hrs YTD visual displays the most data.
C. Unoptimized DAX queries cause the page to load slowly.
D. When all the visuals refresh simultaneously, the visuals spend most of the time waiting on other
processes to finish.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Most time is spent in the category Other - time required by the visual for preparing queries, waiting
for other visuals to complete, or performing other background processing.
Note: Each visual's log information includes the time spent (duration) to complete the following
categories of tasks:
DAX query - if a DAX query was required, this is the time between the visual sending the query, and
for Analysis Services to return the results.
Visual display - time required for the visual to draw on the screen, including time required to retrieve
any web images or geocoding.
Other - time required by the visual for preparing queries, waiting for other visuals to complete, or
performing other background processing.

Question: 66
You are implementing a reporting solution that has the following requirements:
• Reports for external customers must support 500 concurrent requests. The data for these reports is
approximately 7 GB and is stored in Azure Synapse Analytics.
• Reports for the security team use data that must have local security rules applied at the database
level to restrict access. The data being reviewed is 2 GB.
Which storage mode provides the best response time for each group of users?
A. DirectQuery for the external customers and import for the security team.
B. DirectQuery for the external customers and DirectQuery for the security team.
C. Import for the external customers and DirectQuery for the security team.
D. Import for the external customers and import for the security team.
Answer: A
Explanation:
With DirectQuery, queries are sent back to your Azure Synapse Analytics in real time as you explore
the data. Real-time queries, combined with the scale of Synapse Analytics enables users to create
dynamic reports in minutes against terabytes of data.
Need import for the security team for local security rules.

Question: 67
You are optimizing a Power Bl data model by using DAX Studio.

You need to capture the query events generated by a Power Bl Desktop report.
A. the DMV list

B. a Query Plan trace
C. an All Queries trace
D. a Server Timings trace
Answer: C
Explanation:
The All Queries trace in Dax Studio supports capturing the query events from all client tools (not just
queries sent from DAX Studio like the Query Plan and Server Timings features do). The ‘All Queries”
trace is really useful when you wish to see the queries that are generated by a client tool like Power
BI Desktop.

Question: 68
You discover a poorly performing measure in a Power Bl data model.

You need to review the query plan to analyze the amount of time spent in the storage engine and the
formula engine.
A. Tabular Editor
B. Performance analyzer in Power Bl Desktop
C. Vertipaq Analyzer
D. DAX Studio
Answer: B
Explanation:
Monitor report performance in Power BI Desktop using the Performance Analyzer. Monitoring will
help you learn where the bottlenecks are, and how you can improve report performance.
Monitoring performance is relevant in the following situations:
Your Import data model refresh is slow.

Your DirectQuery or Live Connection reports are slow.
Your model calculations are slow.
Slow queries or report visuals should be a focal point of continued optimization.
Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/monitor-report-performance
Question: 69
You are using DAX Studio to analyze a slow-running report query. You need to identify inefficient join
operations in the query. What should you review?
A. the query statistics

B. the query plan
C. the query history
D. the server timings
Answer: B
Explanation:
Open DAX Studio.
Paste the query there, enable Query Plan display and Server Timings, run your query (with clear
cache), and then study the query plan for large row counts. Once the culprit is identified you can
decide how to rewrite your DAX to make that part faster.

Question: 70
HOTSPOT
You are building a Power Bl dataset that contains a table named Calendar. Calendar contains the
following calculated column.
pfflag = IF('Calendar'[Date] < TOOAYQ, "Past", "Future")
You need to create a measure that will perform a fiscal prior year-to-date calculation that meets the
following requirements:
• Returns the fiscal prior year-to-date value for [sales Amount]
• Uses a fiscal year end of June 30
• Produces no result for dates in the future
How should you complete the DAX expression? To answer, select the appropriate options in the
answer area.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: CALCULATETABLE
CALCULATETABLE evaluates a table expression in a modified filter context.
Syntax: CALCULATETABLE(<expression>[, <filter1> [, <filter2> [, …]]])
Incorrect:
* SUMMARIZECOLUMNS
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS returns a summary table over a set of groups.
Syntax: SUMMARIZECOLUMNS( <groupBy_columnName> [, < groupBy_columnName >]…,
[<filterTable>]…[, <name>, <expression>]…)
* CROSSJOIN returns a table that contains the Cartesian product of all rows from all tables in the
arguments. The columns in the new table are all the columns in all the argument tables.
Syntax: CROSSJOIN(<table>, <table>[, <table>]…)
* UNION creates a union (join) table from a pair of tables.

Syntax: UNION(<table_expression1>, <table_expression2> [,<table_expression>]…)
Box 2: SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR returns a table that contains a column of dates shifted one year back in time
from the dates in the specified dates column, in the current context.
Syntax: SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(<dates>)
The dates returned are the same as the dates returned by this equivalent formula: DATEADD(dates, -
1, year)
Example:
The following sample formula creates a measure that calculates the previous year sales of Reseller
sales.
= CALCULATE(SUM(ResellerSales_USD[SalesAmount_USD]),
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateTime[DateKey))
Box 3: TODAY()
TODAY() returns the current date.
The TODAY function is useful when you need to have the current date displayed on a worksheet,
regardless of when you open the workbook. It is also useful for calculating intervals.
Example:
The following sample formula creates a measure that calculates the 'Running Total' for Internet sales.
= CALCULATE(SUM(InternetSales_USD[SalesAmount_USD]), DATESYTD(DateTime[DateKey]))

Question: 71
DRAG DROP
You have a shared dataset in Power Bl named Dataset1.
You have an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database named DB1.
You need to ensure that Dataset1 refreshes data from DB1.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Install the on-premises data gateway (standard mode)

The personal mode is only for a single user, not to be used for a shared dataset.
Step 2: From powerbi.com, add a data source to the gateway clusters

After you install the on-premises data gateway, you can add data sources that can be used with the
gateway.
Add a data source
Under Data Source Type, select SQL Server.
After you fill in everything, select Create. You can now use this data source for scheduled refresh or
DirectQuery against a SQL Server that's on-premises. You see Created New data source if it
succeeded.
Step 3: From powerbi.com, configure Dataset1 to use a data gateway.
Connect a dataset to a SQL Server database

In Power BI Desktop, you connected directly to your on-premises SQL Server database, but the Power
BI service requires a data gateway to act as a bridge between the cloud and your on-premises
network. Follow these steps to add your on-premises SQL Server database as a data source to a
gateway and then connect your dataset to this data source.
Sign in to Power BI. In the upper-right corner, select the settings gear icon and then select Settings.
On the Datasets tab, select the dataset AdventureWorksProducts, so you can connect to your on-
premises SQL Server database through a data gateway.
Expand Gateway connection and verify that at least one gateway is listed.
Under Actions, expand the toggle button to view the data sources and select the Add to gateway link.
On the Gateways management page, on the Data Source Settings tab, enter and verify the following
information, and select Add.
On the Datasets tab, expand the Gateway connection section again. Select the data gateway you
configured, which shows a Status of running on the machine where you installed it, and select Apply.

Question: 73
You have a Power Bl tenant that contains 10 workspaces.

You need to create dataflows in three of the workspaces. The solution must ensure that data
engineers can access the resulting data by using Azure Data Factory.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. Associate the Power Bl tenant to an Azure Data Lake Storage account.

B. Add the managed identity for Data Factory as a member of the workspaces.
C. Create and save the dataflows to an Azure Data Lake Storage account.
D. Create and save the dataflows to the internal storage of Power BI
Answer: AC
Explanation:
Data used with Power BI is stored in internal storage provided by Power BI by default. With the
integration of dataflows and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 (ADLS Gen2), you can store your
dataflows in your organization's Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account. This essentially allows you to
"bring your own storage" to Power BI dataflows, and establish a connection at the tenant or
workspace level.
Question: 74
HOTSPOT
You have the Power BI workspaces shown in the following exhibit.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Infrastrucrue Svcs

Infrastrucrue Svcs is a Premium workspace.
If users have a free license and the workspace is stored in Premium (dedicated) capacity, they will be
able to view and interact with the content in that workspace.
If users have a free license and the workspace is stored in shared capacity (not premium), they will
not be able to see the content in shared workspace, only "My workspace".
If users have pro license, they will be able to view and interact with the content in that workspace.

first?
A. Disconnect from the GitHub repository.

B. Create a new pull request.
C. Change the workspace to live mode.
D. Change the active branch.
Answer: A
Explanation:
By default, Synapse Studio authors directly against the Synapse service. If you have a need for
collaboration using Git for source control, Synapse Studio allows you to associate your workspace

You have a Power BI workspace named Workspace1 that contains five dataflows.
You need to configure Workspace1 to store the dataflows in an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
account.
A. Delete the dataflow queries.

B. From the Power Bl Admin portal, enable tenant-level storage.
C. Disable load for all dataflow queries.
D. Change the Data source settings in the dataflow queries.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Configuring Azure connections is an optional setting with additional properties that can optionally be
set:
* Tenant Level storage, which lets you set a default, and/or

* Workspace-level storage, which lets you specify the connection per workspace
You can optionally configure tenant-level storage if you want to use a centralized data lake only, or
want this to be the default option.
Question: 78
You are creating a Power 81 single-page report.

Some users will navigate the report by using a keyboard, and some users will navigate the report by
using a screen reader.
You need to ensure that the users can consume content on a report page in a logical order.
What should you configure on the report page?
A. the bookmark order

B. the X position
C. the layer order
D. the tab order
Answer: D
Explanation:
Tab order is the order in which users interact with the items on a page using the keyboard. Generally,
we want tab order to be predictable and to closely match the visual order on the page (unless there
is a good reason to deviate).
Note: If you are using the keyboard to navigate in a Power BI report, the order in which you arrive at
visuals will not follow your vision unless you set the new tab order property. If you have low or no
vision, this becomes an even bigger issue because you may not be able to see that you are navigating
visuals out of visual order because the screen reader just reads whatever comes next.

You are optimizing a dataflow in a Power Bl Premium capacity. The dataflow performs multiple joins.
You need to reduce the load time of the dataflow.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE:
Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Reduce the memory assigned to the dataflows.

B. Execute non-foldable operations before foldable operations.
C. Execute foldable operations before non-foldable operations.

D. Place the ingestion operations and transformation operations in a single dataflow.
E. Place the ingestion operations and transformation operations in separate dataflows.
Answer: CE
Explanation:
Using the compute engine to improve performance

Take the following steps to enable workloads trigger the compute engine, and always improve
performance:
For computed and linked entities in the same workspace:
Ensure you perform the operations that fold, such as merges, joins, conversion, and others.
For ingestion focus on getting the data into the storage as fast as possible, using filters only if they
reduce the overall dataset size. It's best practice to keep your transformation logic separate from this
step, and allow the engine to focus on the initial gathering of ingredients. Next, separate your
transformation and business logic into a separate dataflow in the same workspace, using linked or
computed entities; doing so allows for the engine to activate and accelerate your computations. In
our analogy, it's like food preparation in the kitchen: food preparation is typically a separate and
distinct step from gathering your raw ingredients, and a pre-requisite for putting the food in the
oven. Similarly, your logic needs to be prepared separately before it can take advantage of the
compute engine.

HOTSPOT
You have an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 container that stores more than 300,000 files
representing hourly telemetry dat
a. The data is organized in folders by the year, month, and day according to when the telemetry was
captured.
You have the following query in Power Query Editor.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
A key mechanism that allows Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to provide file system performance at
object storage scale and prices is the addition of a hierarchical namespace. This allows the collection
of objects/files within an account to be organized into a hierarchy of directories and nested
subdirectories in the same way that the file system on your computer is organized. With a
hierarchical namespace enabled, a storage account becomes capable of providing the scalability and
cost-effectiveness of object storage, with file system semantics that are familiar to analytics engines
and frameworks.
Box 2: No
Table.SelectRows returns a table of rows from the table, that matches the selection condition.
Box 3: Yes
Azure Data Lake Storage has higher throughput and IOPS.
Note: Azure Blob Storage is a general purpose, scalable object store that is designed for a wide
variety of storage scenarios. Azure Data Lake Storage is a hyper-scale repository that is optimized for

Question: 92
You have a deployment pipeline for a Power BI workspace. The workspace contains two datasets that
use import storage mode.
A database administrator reports a drastic increase in the number of queries sent from the Power BI
service to an Azure SQL database since the creation of the deployment pipeline.
An investigation into the issue identifies the following:
One of the datasets is larger than 1 GB and has a fact table that contains more than 500 million rows.
When publishing dataset changes to development, test, or production pipelines, a refresh is
triggered against the entire dataset.
You need to recommend a solution to reduce the size of the queries sent to the database when the
dataset changes are published to development, test, or production.
A. Turn off auto refresh when publishing the dataset changes to the Power Bl service.
B. In the dataset. change the fact table from an import table to a hybrid table.
C. Enable the large dataset storage format for workspace.
D. Create a dataset parameter to reduce the fact table row count in the development and test
pipelines.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Hybrid tables
Hybrid tables are tables with incremental refresh that can have both import and direct query
partitions. During a clean deployment, both the refresh policy and the hybrid table partitions are
copied. When deploying to a pipeline stage that already has hybrid table partitions, only the refresh
policy is copied. To update the partitions, refresh the table.
Refreshes are faster - Only the most recent data that has changed needs to be refreshed.

DRAG DROP
You manage a Power BI dataset that queries a fact table named SalesDetails. SalesDetails contains
three date columns named OrderDate, CreatedOnDate, and ModifiedDate.
You need to implement an incremental refresh of SalesDetails. The solution must ensure that
OrderDate starts on or after the beginning of the prior year.
NOTE: More than one order of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the correct
orders you select.
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Create RangeStart and RangeEndDateTime parameters.

When configuring incremental refresh in Power BI Desktop, you first create two Power Query
date/time parameters with the reserved, case-sensitive names RangeStart and RangeEnd. These
parameters, defined in the Manage Parameters dialog in Power Query Editor are initially used to
filter the data loaded into the Power BI Desktop model table to include only those rows with a
date/time within that period.
Step 2: Add an applied step that adds a custom date filter OrderDate is Between RangeStart and
RangeEnd.
With RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters defined, you then apply custom Date filters on your
table's date column. The filters you apply select a subset of data that will be loaded into the model
when you click Apply.
Step 3: Configure an incremental refresh to archive data that starts two years before the refresh date.
After filters have been applied and a subset of data has been loaded into the model, you then define
an incremental refresh policy for the table. After the model is published to the service, the policy is
used by the service to create and manage table partitions and perform refresh operations. To define
the policy, you will use the Incremental refresh and real-time data dialog box to specify both required
settings and optional settings.
Step 4: Add an applied step that filters OrderDate to the start of the prior year.

targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split
bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT
The APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT function returns the approximate number of unique non-null values
in a group.
Box 2: OPENROWSET
OPENROWSET function in Synapse SQL reads the content of the file(s) from a data source. The data
source is an Azure storage account and it can be explicitly referenced in the OPENROWSET function
or can be dynamically inferred from URL of the files that you want to read. The OPENROWSET
function can optionally contain a DATA_SOURCE parameter to specify the data source that contains
files.
The OPENROWSET function can be referenced in the FROM clause of a query as if it were a table
name OPENROWSET. It supports bulk operations through a built-in BULK provider that enables data
from a file to be read and returned as a rowset.

B. Configure the dataset to use a composite model that has a DirectQuery connection to the fact
table.
C. Enable the large dataset storage format for workspace.
D. From Capacity settings in the Power Bl Admin portal, increase the Max Intermediate Row Set

Answer: B
Explanation:
A composite model in Power BI means part of your model can be a DirectQuery connection to a data
source (for example, SQL Server database), and another part as Import Data (for example, an Excel
file). Previously, when you used DirectQuery, you couldn’t even add another data source into the
model.
DirectQuery and Import Data have different advantages.
Now the Composite Model combines the good things of both Import and DirectQuery into one
model. Using the Composite Model, you can work with big data tables using DirectQuery, and still
import smaller tables using Import Data.

Answer: C
Explanation:
Previously in Power BI Desktop, when you used a DirectQuery in a report, no other data connections,
whether DirectQuery or import, were allowed for that report. With composite models, that
restriction is removed. A report can seamlessly include data connections from more than one
DirectQuery or import data connection, in any combination you choose.
The composite models capability in Power BI Desktop consists of three related features:
* Composite models: Allows a report to have two or more data connections from different source
groups, such as one or more DirectQuery connections and an import connection, two or more
DirectQuery connections, or any combination thereof.
