You have a Power BI tenant that contains a workspace. The workspace contains a dataset named datasetA.
You need to build a pivot table report in Microsoft Excel. The report must use datasetA as the data source. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Ensure that the report can be refreshed to get the latest available data from the Power BI service.
• Ensure that all the visible data in datasetA is available for use in Excel.
What should you do to connect Excel to datasetA, and which element in datasetA will be incompatible with the Excel connection? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: To connect Excel to datasetA:
Select Analyze in Excel.
Incompatible with the Excel connection:
Field parameters.
Explanation: Analyze in Excel creates a live connection from Excel to the Power BI semantic model, allowing PivotTables to refresh with the latest data from the Power BI service. Field parameters are a Power BI reporting feature and aren't supported in Analyze in Excel, whereas object-level security is enforced and model measures remain available.
Question 123
HOTSPOT -
You use Power Query Editor to pull data from a Microsoft SharePoint Online list.
You plan to use Advanced Editor to build a Power Query M formula language query.
You need to create a query that loads the data, expands a column named location, and hides a column named CountryOrRegion from the dataset.
How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.
Explanation: The M function signature shown matches expanding a record field (Location) into DisplayName using Table.ExpandRecordColumn. To exclude the CountryOrRegion column from the resulting table, use Table.RemoveColumns.
Question 124
DRAG DROP

You plan to use Power BI to create a quarterly profit report that meets the following requirements:
• Emphasizes the percentage of total profits contributed by each product category in dollars and as a percentage
• Compares profit margins across sales regions
Which type of visual should you use for each requirement? To answer, drag the appropriate visuals to the correct requirements. Each visual 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.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Pie chart
Stacked bar chart
Explanation: A pie chart emphasizes each category's contribution to the total and displays values/percentages. A stacked bar chart is suitable for comparing profit margins across different sales regions.
Question 125
You use Power Query Editor to preview a query that contains sales order data in the following columns:
• Tax Amount
• Sales Order ID
• Freight Amount
• Subtotal Amount
• Total Item Quantity
The Sales Order ID column uniquely identifies each sales order. The Subtotal Amount and Total Item Quantity columns are always populated, but the Tax Amount and Freight Amount columns are sometimes null when an order has no associated amount.
You need to query the data to identify the following metrics by month:
• The average item quantity per order
• The average freight amount per order
• The maximum item quantity per order
How should you modify the query?
A. In the Total Item Quantity column, replace the null values with 0.
B. In the Tax Amount column, remove rows that contain null values.
C. In the Freight Amount column, remove rows that contain null values.
D. In the Freight Amount column, replace the null values with 0.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The required metrics are average item quantity per order, average freight amount per order, and maximum item quantity per order. Total Item Quantity is already always populated, so no change is needed there. Tax Amount is irrelevant to the requested metrics. Removing rows with null Freight Amount would exclude valid sales orders and distort per-order item quantity metrics. Since null freight indicates no associated freight amount for that order, replacing nulls with 0 ensures those orders are included correctly when calculating average freight per order.
Question 126
You have a PBIX file that imports data from a Microsoft Excel data source stored in a file share on a local network.
You are notified that the Excel data source was moved to a new location.
You need to update the PBIX file to use the new location.
What are three ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. From the Datasets settings of the Power BI service, configure the data source credentials.
B. From the Data source settings in Power BI Desktop, configure the file path.
C. From Current File in Power BI Desktop, configure the Data Load settings.
D. From Power Query Editor, use the formula bar to configure the file path for the applied step.
E. From Advanced Editor in Power Query Editor, configure the file path in the M code.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B, D, E
Explanation: Updating the Excel file location in a PBIX is done by changing the source path in Power BI Desktop. You can use Data source settings (Change Source), edit the Source step in the Power Query formula bar, or modify the path directly in the M code via Advanced Editor. Configuring credentials in the Power BI service does not change the file path, and Data Load settings control loading behavior rather than the data source location.
Question 127
HOTSPOT

You have a folder that contains 50 JSON files.
You need to use Power BI Desktop to make the metadata of the files available as a single dataset. The solution must NOT store the data of the JSON files.
Which type of data source should you use, and which transformation should you perform? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Data source type: Folder
Transformation: Delete the Content column.
Explanation: Use the Folder connector to return one row per file with file metadata. Removing the Content (Binary) column ensures the JSON file contents are not stored while retaining metadata such as name, path, dates, and other file properties.
Question 128
You have the CSV file shown in the following table.
You use Power Query Editor to preview the data in the file.
You need to transform the data to meet the following requirements:
• The first column must contain the month.
• The second column must contain the year.
• The third column must contain the order amount for the month and year.
Which transformation should you use first?
A. remove
B. unpivot
C. transpose
D. pivot
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The required final shape is a normalized table with Month, Year, and Order Amount. Starting from a cross-tab where months/years are spread across columns, the first transformation is to unpivot the value columns so the column headers become row values. You can then split or rename the resulting columns as needed to produce Month, Year, and Order Amount.
Question 129
You have a Power BI report. The report contains a line chart that displays sales data for several regions.
You need to add an element to the report that will enable users to filter the sales data to include only a selected region.
Which two elements achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. a slicer visual
B. a drillthrough filter
C. a table visual
D. a card visual
E. a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) visual
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, C
Explanation: A slicer visual is the standard report element for filtering all connected visuals by a selected region. A table visual can also act as a filter through cross-filtering/cross-highlighting: selecting a region row filters or highlights the line chart when visual interactions are enabled. A drillthrough filter is intended for navigating to a detail page rather than filtering the existing line chart on the current report page. Card and KPI visuals display summary values and do not provide region filtering.

Question 130
You have a Power BI dataset that contains quarterly sales performance data.
You need to enable managers to review the data in a format that meets the following requirements:
• Is optimized for printing.
• Renders data in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF formats.
What should you create?
A. a template app
B. a dashboard
C. a paginated report
D. an interactive report
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Paginated reports are designed for pixel-perfect, print-optimized output and support exporting/rendering to formats such as PDF, Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Dashboards and interactive reports are intended for on-screen exploration rather than print-optimized document generation, and template apps are for distributing packaged Power BI content.
Question 131
You have a Power BI model that contains a table named Employees. The table contains the following columns:
• Employee ID
• First Name
• Last Name
• Department
• Salary
Each employee is uniquely identified by using Employee ID.
You need to create a DAX measure that will calculate the average salary of all the employees in the sales department.
Which DAX expression should you use?
A. DISTINCTCOUNT(‘Employees’[Salary])
B. CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(‘Employees’[Salary]), ‘Employees’[Department] = “Sales”)
C. CALCULATE(AVERAGE(‘Employees’[Salary]), ‘Employees’[Department] = “Sales”)
D. AVERAGE(‘Employees’[Salary])
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The required measure must compute the average of the Salary column while filtering the Employees table to only rows where Department = "Sales". CALCULATE modifies the filter context and AVERAGE returns the mean salary. DISTINCTCOUNT counts unique salary values rather than averaging them, and AVERAGE alone does not restrict the calculation to the Sales department.
