Topic 1, Litware. Inc. Case Study

Overview

Litware. Inc. is a manufacturing company that has offices throughout North America. The analytics
team at Litware contains data engineers, analytics engineers, data analysts, and data scientists.

Existing Environment

litware has been using a Microsoft Power Bl tenant for three years. Litware has NOT enabled any
Fabric capacities and features.

Fabric Environment

Litware has data that must be analyzed as shown in the following table.

The Product data contains a single table and the following columns.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 2/114

The customer satisfaction data contains the following tables:

• Survey

• Question

• Response

For each survey submitted, the following occurs:

• One row is added to the Survey table.

• One row is added to the Response table for each question in the survey.

The Question table contains the text of each survey question. The third question in each survey
response is an overall satisfaction score. Customers can submit a survey after each purchase.

User Problems

The analytics team has large volumes of data, some of which is semi-structured. The team wants to
use Fabric to create a new data store.

Product data is often classified into three pricing groups: high, medium, and low. This logic is
implemented in several databases and semantic models, but the logic does NOT always match across
implementations.

Planned Changes

Litware plans to enable Fabric features in the existing tenant. The analytics team will create a new
data store as a proof of concept (PoC). The remaining Litware users will only get access to the Fabric
features once the PoC is complete. The PoC will be completed by using a Fabric trial capacity.

The following three workspaces will be created:

• AnalyticsPOC: Will contain the data store, semantic models, reports, pipelines, dataflows, and
notebooks used to populate the data store

• DataEngPOC: Will contain all the pipelines, dataflows, and notebooks used to populate Onelake

• DataSciPOC: Will contain all the notebooks and reports created by the data scientists

The following will be created in the AnalyticsPOC workspace:

• A data store (type to be decided)

• A custom semantic model

• A default semantic model

• Interactive reports

[Link]
Exam Dumps 3/114

The data engineers will create data pipelines to load data to OneLake either hourly or daily
depending on the data source. The analytics engineers will create processes to ingest transform, and
load the data to the data store in the AnalyticsPOC workspace daily. Whenever possible, the data
engineers will use low-code tools for data ingestion. The choice of which data cleansing and
transformation tools to use will be at the data engineers' discretion.

All the semantic models and reports in the Analytics POC workspace will use the data store as the
sole data source.

Technical Requirements

The data store must support the following:

• Read access by using T-SQL or Python

• Semi-structured and unstructured data

• Row-level security (RLS) for users executing T-SQL queries

Files loaded by the data engineers to OneLake will be stored in the Parquet format and will meet
Delta Lake specifications.

Data will be loaded without transformation in one area of the AnalyticsPOC data store. The data will
then be cleansed, merged, and transformed into a dimensional model.

The data load process must ensure that the raw and cleansed data is updated completely before
populating the dimensional model.

The dimensional model must contain a date dimension. There is no existing data source for the date
dimension. The Litware fiscal year matches the calendar year. The date dimension must always
contain dates from 2010 through the end of the current year.

The product pricing group logic must be maintained by the analytics engineers in a single location.
The pricing group data must be made available in the data store for T-SQL queries and in the default
semantic model. The following logic must be used:

• List prices that are less than or equal to 50 are in the low pricing group.

• List prices that are greater than 50 and less than or equal to 1,000 are in the medium pricing
group.

• List pnces that are greater than 1,000 are in the high pricing group.

Security Requirements

Only Fabric administrators and the analytics team must be able to see the Fabric items created as
part of the PoC. Litware identifies the following security requirements for the Fabric items in the
AnalyticsPOC workspace:

[Link]
Exam Dumps 4/114

• Fabric administrators will be the workspace administrators.

• The data engineers must be able to read from and write to the data store. No access must be
granted to datasets or reports.

• The analytics engineers must be able to read from, write to, and create schemas in the data store.
They also must be able to create and share semantic models with the data analysts and view and
modify all reports in the workspace.

• The data scientists must be able to read from the data store, but not write to it. They will access
the data by using a Spark notebook.

• The data analysts must have read access to only the dimensional model objects in the data store.
They also must have access to create Power Bl reports by using the semantic models created by the
analytics engineers.

• The date dimension must be available to all users of the data store.

• The principle of least privilege must be followed.

Both the default and custom semantic models must include only tables or views from the
dimensional model in the data store. Litware already has the following Microsoft Entra security
groups:

• FabricAdmins: Fabric administrators

• AnalyticsTeam: All the members of the analytics team

• DataAnalysts: The data analysts on the analytics team

• DataScientists: The data scientists on the analytics team

• Data Engineers: The data engineers on the analytics team

• Analytics Engineers: The analytics engineers on the analytics team

Report Requirements

The data analysis must create a customer satisfaction report that meets the following requirements:

• Enables a user to select a product to filter customer survey responses to only those who have
purchased that product

• Displays the average overall satisfaction score of all the surveys submitted during the last 12
months up to a selected date

• Shows data as soon as the data is updated in the data store

• Ensures that the report and the semantic model only contain data from the current and previous

[Link]
Exam Dumps 5/114

year

• Ensures that the report respects any table-level security specified in the source data store

• Minimizes the execution time of report queries

Question: 1

HOTSPOT

You to need assign permissions for the data store in the AnalyticsPOC workspace. The solution must
meet the security requirements.

Which additional permissions should you assign when you share the data store? To answer, select the
appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:

Data Engineers: Read All SQL analytics endpoint data

Data Analysts: Read All Apache Spark

Data Scientists: Read All SQL analytics endpoint data

[Link]
Exam Dumps 6/114

The permissions for the data store in the AnalyticsPOC workspace should align with the principle of
least privilege:

Data Engineers need read and write access but not to datasets or reports.

Data Analysts require read access specifically to the dimensional model objects and the ability to
create Power BI reports.

Data Scientists need read access via Spark notebooks. These settings ensure each role has the
necessary permissions to fulfill their responsibilities without exceeding their required access level.

Question: 2
HOTSPOT

You need to create a DAX measure to calculate the average overall satisfaction score.

How should you complete the DAX code? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer
area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 7/114

Answer:
Explanation:

The measure should use the AVERAGE function to calculate the average value.

It should reference the Response Value column from the 'Survey' table.

The 'Number of months' should be used to define the period for the average calculation.

To calculate the average overall satisfaction score using DAX, you would need to use the AVERAGE
function on the response values related to satisfaction questions. The DATESINPERIOD function will
help in calculating the rolling average over the last 12 months.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 8/114

Question: 3
HOTSPOT

You need to resolve the issue with the pricing group classification.

How should you complete the T-SQL statement? To answer, select the appropriate options in the
answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 9/114

[Link]
Exam Dumps 10/114

Answer:
Explanation:

You should use CREATE VIEW to make the pricing group logic available for T-SQL queries.

The CASE statement should be used to determine the pricing group based on the list price.

The T-SQL statement should create a view that classifies products into pricing groups based on the
list price. The CASE statement is the correct conditional logic to assign each product to the
appropriate pricing group. This view will standardize the pricing group logic across different
databases and semantic models.

Question: 4
What should you recommend using to ingest the customer data into the data store in the
AnatyticsPOC workspace?

A. a stored procedure

[Link]
Exam Dumps 11/114

B. a pipeline that contains a KQL activity

C. a Spark notebook

D. a dataflow

Answer: D
Explanation:

For ingesting customer data into the data store in the AnalyticsPOC workspace, a dataflow (D) should
be recommended. Dataflows are designed within the Power BI service to ingest, cleanse, transform,
and load data into the Power BI environment. They allow for the low-code ingestion and
transformation of data as needed by Litware's technical requirements. Reference = You can learn
more about dataflows and their use in Power BI environments in Microsoft's Power BI
documentation.

Question: 5

Which type of data store should you recommend in the AnalyticsPOC workspace?

A. a data lake

B. a warehouse

C. a lakehouse

D. an external Hive metaStore

Answer: C
Explanation:

A lakehouse (C) should be recommended for the AnalyticsPOC workspace. It combines the
capabilities of a data warehouse with the flexibility of a data lake. A lakehouse supports semi-
structured and unstructured data and allows for T-SQL and Python read access, fulfilling the technical

[Link]
Exam Dumps 12/114

requirements outlined for Litware. Reference = For further understanding, Microsoft's

documentation on the lakehouse architecture provides insights into how it supports various data
types and analytical operations.

Question: 6

You need to recommend a solution to prepare the tenant for the PoC.

Which two actions should you recommend performing from the Fabric Admin portal? Each correct
answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.

A. Enable the Users can try Microsoft Fabric paid features option for specific security groups.

B. Enable the Allow Azure Active Directory guest users to access Microsoft Fabric option for specific
security groups.

C. Enable the Users can create Fabric items option and exclude specific security groups.

D. Enable the Users can try Microsoft Fabric paid features option for the entire organization.

E. Enable the Users can create Fabric items option for specific security groups.

Answer: A, E
Explanation:

The PoC is planned to be completed using a Fabric trial capacity, which implies that users involved in
the PoC should be able to try paid features. However, this should be limited to specific security
groups involved in the PoC to prevent the entire organization from accessing these features before
the trial is proven successful (A). The ability for users to create Fabric items should also be enabled
for specific security groups to ensure that only the relevant team members participating in the PoC
can create items in the Fabric environment (E).

Question: 7

[Link]
Exam Dumps 13/114

You need to ensure the data loading activities in the AnalyticsPOC workspace are executed in the
appropriate sequence. The solution must meet the technical requirements.

What should you do?

A. Create a pipeline that has dependencies between activities and schedule the pipeline.

B. Create and schedule a Spark job definition.

C. Create a dataflow that has multiple steps and schedule the dataflow.

D. Create and schedule a Spark notebook.

Answer: A
Explanation:

To meet the technical requirement that data loading activities must ensure the raw and cleansed
data is updated completely before populating the dimensional model, you would need a mechanism
that allows for ordered execution. A pipeline in Microsoft Fabric with dependencies set between
activities can ensure that activities are executed in a specific sequence. Once set up, the pipeline can
be scheduled to run at the required intervals (hourly or daily depending on the data source).

Question: 8

You need to implement the date dimension in the data store. The solution must meet the technical
requirements.

What are two ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Populate the date dimension table by using a dataflow.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 14/114

B. Populate the date dimension table by using a Stored procedure activity in a pipeline.

C. Populate the date dimension view by using T-SQL.

D. Populate the date dimension table by using a Copy activity in a pipeline.

Answer: A, B
Explanation:

Both a dataflow (A) and a Stored procedure activity in a pipeline (B) are capable of creating and
populating a date dimension table. A dataflow can perform the transformation needed to create the
date dimension, and it aligns with the preference for using low-code tools for data ingestion when
possible. A Stored procedure could be written to generate the necessary date dimension data and
executed within a pipeline, which also adheres to the technical requirements for the PoC.

Question: 9

HOTSPOT

You need to design a semantic model for the customer satisfaction report.

Which data source authentication method and mode should you use? To answer, select the
appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 15/114

Answer:
Explanation:

For the semantic model design required for the customer satisfaction report, the choices for data
source authentication method and mode should be made based on security and performance
considerations as per the case study provided.

Authentication method: The data should be accessed securely, and given that row-level security
(RLS) is required for users executing T-SQL queries, you should use an authentication method that
supports RLS. Service principal authentication is suitable for automated and secure access to the
data, especially when the access needs to be controlled programmatically and is not tied to a specific
user's credentials.

Mode: The report needs to show data as soon as it is updated in the data store, and it should only
contain data from the current and previous year. DirectQuery mode allows for real-time reporting
without importing data into the model, thus meeting the need for up-to-date dat

a. It also allows for RLS to be implemented and enforced at the data source level, providing the
necessary security measures.

Based on these considerations, the selections should be:

Authentication method: Service principal authentication

Mode: DirectQuery

B)

C)

D)

[Link]
Exam Dumps 24/114

A. Option A

B. Option B

C. Option C

D. Option D

Answer: B
Explanation:

The correct query to use in order to return data for the year 2023 that displays ProductID,
ProductName, and has a summarized Amount greater than 10,000 is Option B. The reason is that it
uses the GROUP BY clause to organize the data by ProductID and ProductName and then filters the
result using the HAVING clause to only include groups where the sum of Amount is greater than
10,000. Additionally, the DATEPART(YEAR, SaleDate) = '2023' part of the HAVING clause ensures that
only records from the year 2023 are included. Reference = For more information, please visit the
official documentation on T-SQL queries and the GROUP BY clause at T-SQL GROUP BY.

HOTSPOT

You have a data warehouse that contains a table named Stage. Customers. Stage-Customers contains
all the customer record updates from a customer relationship management (CRM) system. There can
be multiple updates per customer

You need to write a T-SQL query that will return the customer ID, name, postal code, and the last
updated time of the most recent row for each customer ID.

How should you complete the code? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area,

NOTE Each correct selection is worth one point.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 25/114

Answer:
Explanation:

In the ROW_NUMBER() function, choose OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerID ORDER BY LastUpdated

DESC).

In the WHERE clause, choose WHERE X = 1.

To select the most recent row for each customer ID, you use the ROW_NUMBER() window function
partitioned by CustomerID and ordered by LastUpdated in descending order. This will assign a row
number of 1 to the most recent update for each customer. By selecting rows where the row number
(X) is 1, you get the latest update per customer.

You have a Fabric tenant.

You plan to create a Fabric notebook that will use Spark DataFrames to generate Microsoft Power Bl
visuals.

You run the following code.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE:
Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:

The code embeds an existing Power BI report. - No

The code creates a Power BI report. - Yes

The code displays a summary of the DataFrame. - Yes

The code provided seems to be a snippet from a SQL query or script which is neither creating nor
embedding a Power BI report directly. It appears to be setting up a DataFrame for use within a larger
context, potentially for visualization in Power BI, but the code itself does not perform the creation or
embedding of a report. Instead, it's likely part of a data processing step that summarizes data.

allow for all instances of data to be represented in the visual. Reference = For more on Power BI
Python visuals and how they handle data, please refer to the Power BI documentation.

Question: 26

DRAG DROP

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a semantic model. The model contains data about retail
stores.

You need to write a DAX query that will be executed by using the XMLA endpoint The query must
return a table of stores that have opened since December 1,2023.

How should you complete the DAX expression? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct
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.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 31/114

Answer:
Explanation:

The correct order for the DAX expression would be:

DEFINE VAR _SalesSince = DATE ( 2023, 12, 01 )

EVALUATE

FILTER (

SUMMARIZE ( Store, Store[Name], Store[OpenDate] ),

Store[OpenDate] >= _SalesSince )

In this DAX query, you're defining a variable _SalesSince to hold the date from which you want to
filter the stores. EVALUATE starts the definition of the query. The FILTER function is used to return a
table that filters another table or expression. SUMMARIZE creates a summary table for the stores,
including the Store[Name] and Store[OpenDate] columns, and the filter expression Store[OpenDate]
>= _SalesSince ensures only stores opened on or after December 1, 2023, are included in the results.

What can you identify about the pickupLongitude column?

A. The column has duplicate values.

B. All the table rows are profiled.

C. The column has missing values.

D. There are 935 values that occur only once.

Answer: A
Explanation:

The pickupLongitude column has duplicate values. This can be inferred because the 'Distinct count' is
935 while the 'Count' is 1000, indicating that there are repeated values within the column. Reference
= Microsoft Power BI documentation on data profiling could provide further insights into
understanding and interpreting column statistics like these.

Question: 28

You have a Fabric tenant named Tenant1 that contains a workspace named WS1. WS1 uses a capacity
named C1 and contains a dawset named DS1. You need to ensure read-write access to DS1 is
available by using the XMLA endpoint. What should be modified first?

[Link]
Exam Dumps 33/114

A. the DS1 settings

B. the WS1 settings

C. the C1 settings

D. the Tenant1 settings

Answer: C
Explanation:

To ensure read-write access to DS1 is available by using the XMLA endpoint, the C1 settings (which
refer to the capacity settings) should be modified first. XMLA endpoint configuration is a capacity
feature, not specific to individual datasets or workspaces. Reference = The configuration of XMLA
endpoints in Power BI capacities is detailed in the Power BI documentation on dataset management.

Question: 29

You need to reduce the query execution time for the visuals on all the pages.

What are two features that you can use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.

A. user-defined aggregations

B. automatic aggregation

C. query caching

D. OneLake integration

Answer: C, D
Explanation:

User-defined aggregations (A) and query caching (C) are two features that can help reduce query
execution time. User-defined aggregations allow precalculation of large datasets, and query caching
stores the results of queries temporarily to speed up future queries. Reference = Microsoft Power BI
documentation on performance optimization offers in-depth knowledge on these features.

Question: 34

You have a Fabric tenant that contains 30 CSV files in OneLake. The files are updated daily.

You create a Microsoft Power Bl semantic model named Modell that uses the CSV files as a data
source. You configure incremental refresh for Model 1 and publish the model to a Premium capacity
in the Fabric tenant.

When you initiate a refresh of Model1, the refresh fails after running out of resources.

What is a possible cause of the failure?

A. Query folding is occurring.

B. Only refresh complete days is selected.

C. XMLA Endpoint is set to Read Only.

D. Query folding is NOT occurring.

E. The data type of the column used to partition the data has changed.

Answer: D
Explanation:

A possible cause for the failure is that query folding is NOT occurring (D). Query folding helps
optimize refresh by pushing down the query logic to the source system, reducing the amount of data
processed and transferred, hence conserving resources. Reference = The Power BI documentation on
incremental refresh and query folding provides detailed information on this topic.

Question: 35

You have a Fabric tenant that uses a Microsoft tower Bl Premium capacity. You need to enable scale-

Question: 36

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a warehouse. The warehouse uses row-level security (RLS).
You create a Direct Lake semantic model that uses the Delta tables and RLS of the warehouse. When
users interact with a report built from the model, which mode will be used by the DAX queries?

A. DirectQuery

B. Dual

C. Direct Lake

D. Import

Answer: A
Explanation:

When users interact with a report built from a Direct Lake semantic model that uses row-level
security (RLS), the DAX queries will operate in DirectQuery mode (A). This is because the model
directly queries the underlying data source without importing data into Power BI. Reference = The
Power BI documentation on DirectQuery provides detailed explanations of how RLS and DAX queries
function in this mode.

Question: 37

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a complex semantic model. The model is based on a star

from Microsoft Power Bl Desktop?

A. data categories

[Link]
Exam Dumps 40/114

B. Data view

C. Model view

D. DAX query view

Answer: C
Explanation:

To create a diagram that contains only the Sales table and related tables, you should use the Model
view (C) in Microsoft Power BI Desktop. This view allows you to visualize and manage the
relationships between tables within your semantic model. Reference = Microsoft Power BI Desktop
documentation outlines the functionalities available in Model view for managing semantic models.

Question: 38

You have the source data model shown in the following exhibit.

The primary keys of the tables are indicated by a key symbol beside the columns involved in each
key.

You need to create a dimensional data model that will enable the analysis of order items by date,
product, and customer.

What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer

[Link]

area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:

The relationship between OrderItem and Product must be based on: Both the CompanyID and the
ProductID columns

The Company entity must be: Denormalized into the Customer and Product entities

In a dimensional model, the relationships are typically based on foreign key constraints between the
fact table (OrderItem) and dimension tables (Product, Customer, Date). Since CompanyID is present
in both the OrderItem and Product tables, it acts as a foreign key in the relationship. Similarly,
ProductID is a foreign key that relates these two tables. To enable analysis by date, product, and
customer, the Company entity would need to be denormalized into the Customer and Product
entities to ensure that the relevant company information is available within those dimensions for
querying and reporting purposes.

You need to reduce the memory used by Model! and the time it takes to refresh the model. Which
two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each
correct answer is worth one point.

A. Split OrderDateTime into separate date and time columns.

B. Replace TotalQuantity with a calculated column.

C. Convert Quantity into the Text data type.

D. Replace TotalSalesAmount with a measure.

Answer: B, D
Explanation:

To reduce memory usage and refresh time, splitting the OrderDateTime into separate date and time
columns (A) can help optimize the model because date/time data types can be more memory-
intensive than separate date and time columns. Moreover, replacing TotalSalesAmount with a
measure (D) instead of a calculated column ensures that the calculation is performed at query time,
which can reduce the size of the model as the value is not stored but calculated on the fly. Reference
= The best practices for optimizing Power BI models are detailed in the Power BI documentation,
which recommends using measures for calculations that don't need to be stored and adjusting data
types to improve performance.

organization can improve the performance of read operations, as queries that filter by the
partitioned columns can scan only the relevant directories. Moreover, partitioning facilitates
parallelism because each partition can be processed independently across different nodes in a
distributed system like Spark. However, the code snippet provided does not explicitly specify that file
compression should be used, so we cannot assume that the output will be compressed without

Si Desktop, you open Performance analyzer as shown in the following exhibit.

Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the
information presented in the graphic. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:

The Direct Lake fallback behavior is set to: DirectQueryOnly

The query for the table visual is executed by using: DirectQuery

In the context of Microsoft Power BI, when using DirectQuery in Direct Lake mode, there is no
caching of data and all queries are sent directly to the underlying data source. The Performance
Analyzer tool shows the time taken for different operations, and from the options provided, it

[Link]
Exam Dumps 63/114

indicates that DirectQuery mode is being used for the visuals, which is consistent with the Direct
Lake setting. DirectQueryOnly as the fallback behavior ensures that only DirectQuery will be used
without reverting to import mode.

Question: 61
HOTSPOT

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a lakehouse named Lakehouse1. Lakehouse1 contains a table
named Nyctaxi_raw. Nyctaxi_raw contains the following columns.

You create a Fabric notebook and attach it to lakehouse1.

You need to use PySpark code to transform the dat

a. The solution must meet the following requirements:

• Add a column named pickupDate that will contain only the date portion of pickupDateTime.

• Filter the DataFrame to include only rows where fareAmount is a positive number that is less than
100.

How should you complete the code? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer:
Explanation:

[Link]
Exam Dumps 64/114

Add the pickupDate column: .withColumn("pickupDate", df["pickupDateTime"].cast("date"))

Filter the DataFrame: .filter("fareAmount > 0 AND fareAmount < 100")

In PySpark, you can add a new column to a DataFrame using the .withColumn method, where the
first argument is the new column name and the second argument is the expression to generate the
content of the new column. Here, we use the .cast("date") function to extract only the date part from
a timestamp. To filter the DataFrame, you use the .filter method with a condition that selects rows
where fareAmount is greater than 0 and less than 100, thus ensuring only positive values less than
100 are included.

A. DAX Formatter in DAX Studio

B. Model view in Microsoft Power Bl Desktop

C. Model explorer in Microsoft Power Bl Desktop

D. Best Practice Analyzer in Tabular Editor

Answer: D
Explanation:

To identify surrogate key columns with the "Summarize By" property set to a value other than
"None," the Best Practice Analyzer in Tabular Editor is the most efficient tool. The Best Practice
Analyzer can analyze the entire model and provide a report on all columns that do not meet a
specified best practice, such as having the "Summarize By" property set correctly for surrogate key
columns. Here's how you would proceed:

Open your Power BI model in Tabular Editor.

Go to the Advanced Scripting window.

Write or use an existing script that checks the "Summarize By" property of each column.

Execute the script to get a report on the surrogate key columns that do not have their "Summarize
By" property set to "None".

You can then review and adjust the properties of the columns directly within the Tabular Editor.

Reference: The functionality of the Best Practice Analyzer in Tabular Editor is documented in the
community and learning resources for Power BI.

Question: 70
You have a Microsoft Power Bl semantic model that contains measures. The measures use multiple
calculate functions and a filter function.

You are evaluating the performance of the measures.

In which use case will replacing the filter function with the keepfilters function reduce execution
time?

A. when the filter function uses a nested calculate function

B. when the filter function references a column from a single table that uses Import mode

C. when the filter function references columns from multiple tables

D. when the filter function references a measure

Answer: A
Explanation:

The KEEPFILTERS function modifies the way filters are applied in calculations done through the
CALCULATE function. It can be particularly beneficial to replace the FILTER function with KEEPFILTERS
when the filter context is being overridden by nested CALCULATE functions, which may remove
filters that are being applied on a column. This can potentially reduce execution time because
KEEPFILTERS maintains the existing filter context and allows the nested CALCULATE functions to be
evaluated more efficiently.

Reference: This information is based on the DAX reference and performance optimization guidelines

in the Microsoft Power BI documentation.

Question: 71

You have a Microsoft Power Bl report named Report1 that uses a Fabric semantic model.

Users discover that Report1 renders slowly.

You open Performance analyzer and identify that a visual named Orders By Date is the slowest to
render. The duration breakdown for Orders By Date is shown in the following table.

What will provide the greatest reduction in the rendering duration of Report1?

A. Change the visual type of Orders By Dale.

B. Enable automatic page refresh.

C. Optimize the DAX query of Orders By Date by using DAX Studio.

D. Reduce the number of visuals in Report1.

Answer: D
Explanation:

Based on the duration breakdown provided, the major contributor to the rendering duration is
categorized as "Other," which is significantly higher than DAX Query and Visual display times. This
suggests that the issue is less likely with the DAX calculation or visual rendering times and more
likely related to model performance or the complexity of the visual. However, of the options
provided, optimizing the DAX query can be a crucial step, even if "Other" factors are dominant. Using
DAX Studio, you can analyze and optimize the DAX queries that power your visuals for performance
improvements. Here’s how you might proceed:

Open DAX Studio and connect it to your Power BI report.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 73/114

Capture the DAX query generated by the Orders By Date visual.

Use the Performance Analyzer feature within DAX Studio to analyze the query.

Look for inefficiencies or long-running operations.

Optimize the DAX query by simplifying measures, removing unnecessary calculations, or improving
iterator functions.

Test the optimized query to ensure it reduces the overall duration.

Reference: The use of DAX Studio for query optimization is a common best practice for improving
Power BI report performance as outlined in the Power BI documentation.

Question: 72

You have a semantic model named Model 1. Model 1 contains five tables that all use Import mode.
Model1 contains a dynamic row-level security (RLS) role named HR. The HR role filters employee
data so that HR managers only see the data of the department to which they are assigned.

You publish Model1 to a Fabric tenant and configure RLS role membership. You share the model and
related reports to users.

An HR manager reports that the data they see in a report is incomplete.

What should you do to validate the data seen by the HR Manager?

A. Ask the HR manager to open the report in Microsoft Power Bl Desktop.

B. Select Test as role to view the data as the HR role.

C. Select Test as role to view the report as the HR manager,

D. Filter the data in the report to match the intended logic of the filter for the HR department.

Answer: B
Explanation:

To validate the data seen by the HR manager, you should use the 'Test as role' feature in Power BI
service. This allows you to see the data exactly as it would appear for the HR role, considering the

[Link]
Exam Dumps 74/114

dynamic RLS setup. Here is how you would proceed:

Navigate to the Power BI service and locate Model1.

Access the dataset settings for Model1.

Find the security/RLS settings where you configured the roles.

Use the 'Test as role' feature to simulate the report viewing experience as the HR role.

Review the data and the filters applied to ensure that the RLS is functioning correctly.

If discrepancies are found, adjust the RLS expressions or the role membership as needed.

Reference: The 'Test as role' feature and its use for validating RLS in Power BI is covered in the Power
BI documentation available on Microsoft's official documentation.

What should you use?

A. Microsoft Power Bl Desktop

B. Tabular Editor

C. ALM Toolkit

D. DAX Studio

[Link]
Exam Dumps 75/114

Answer: B
Explanation:

Tabular Editor is an advanced tool for editing Tabular models outside of Power BI Desktop that allows
you to script out changes and apply them across multiple columns or tables. To accomplish the task
programmatically, you would:

Open the model in Tabular Editor.

Create an Advanced Script using C# to iterate over all tables and their respective columns.

Within the script, check if the column name ends with 'Key'.

For columns that meet the condition, set the properties accordingly: IsHidden = true, IsNullable =
false, SummarizeBy = None, IsAvailableInMDX = false.

Additionally, mark the column as a key column.

Save the changes and deploy them back to the Fabric tenant.

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a lakehouse. You plan to use a visual query to merge two
tables.

You need to ensure that the query returns all the rows that are present in both tables. Which type of
join should you use?

A. left outer

B. right anti

C. full outer

D. left anti

E. right outer

F. inner

Answer: C
Explanation:

When you need to return all rows that are present in both tables, you use a full outer join. This type
of join combines the results of both left and right outer joins and returns all rows from both tables,
with matching rows from both sides where available. If there is no match, the result is NULL on the
side of the join where there is no match.

Explanation:

[Link]
Exam Dumps 83/114

For a Type 2 slowly changing dimension (SCD), you typically need to add the following types of
columns that do not exist in the source system:

An effective start date and time (E): This column records the date and time from which the data in
the row is effective.

An effective end date and time (A): This column indicates until when the data in the row was
effective. It allows you to keep historical records for changes over time.

A surrogate key (C): A surrogate key is a unique identifier for each row in a table, which is necessary
for Type 2 SCDs to differentiate between historical and current records.

You have a Fabric warehouse that contains a table named [Link]. [Link] contains the
following columns.

You need to write a T-SQL query that will return the following columns.

How should you complete the code? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

[Link]
Exam Dumps 90/114

Answer:
Explanation:

For the HighestSellingPrice, you should use the GREATEST function to find the highest value from the
given price columns. However, T-SQL does not have a GREATEST function as found in some other SQL
dialects, so you would typically use a CASE statement or an IIF statement with nested MAX functions.
Since neither of those are provided in the options, you should select MAX as a placeholder to
indicate the function that would be used to find the highest value if combining multiple MAX
functions or a similar logic was available.

For the TradePrice, you should use the COALESCE function, which returns the first non-null value in a
list. The COALESCE function is the correct choice as it will return AgentPrice if it's not null; if
AgentPrice is null, it will check WholesalePrice, and if that is also null, it will return ListPrice.

The complete code with the correct SQL functions would look like this:

SELECT ProductID,

MAX(ListPrice, WholesalePrice, AgentPrice) AS HighestSellingPrice, -- MAX is used as a

placeholder

COALESCE(AgentPrice, WholesalePrice, ListPrice) AS TradePrice

Answer:
Explanation:

For the PeriodDate that returns the first day of the month for OrderDate, you should use
DATEFROMPARTS as it allows you to construct a date from its individual components (year, month,
day).

For the DayName that returns the name of the day for OrderDate, you should use DATENAME with
the weekday date part to get the full name of the weekday.

The complete SQL query should look like this:

SELECT OrderID, CustomerID,

DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(OrderDate), MONTH(OrderDate), 1) AS PeriodDate,

DATENAME(weekday, OrderDate) AS DayName

FROM [Link]

Select DATEFROMPARTS for the PeriodDate and weekday for the DayName in the answer area.
