You use Microsoft Power BI Desktop to review the data 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.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: auto date/time
the MonthEndDate date hierarchy from the Data table
Explanation: The presence of built-in Year/Quarter/Month/Day hierarchies indicates the Auto Date/Time feature was used. When the table is marked as a Date table, Power BI disables Auto Date/Time for that table, which removes the automatically generated date hierarchies such as the MonthEndDate date hierarchy, but does not remove the table or its columns.
Question 53
You have a Power BI tenant that contains a workspace named WS1. WS1 contains the following items:
• A semantic model named SM1.
• A report named RPT1 that is connected to SM1.
• A report named RPT2 that is connected to SM1.
• A report named RPT3 that is connected to SM1.
• A dashboard named DB1 that contains content from RPT1 and RPT2.
You need to grant workspace access to a group named Group1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Group1 must be able to view RPT1, RPT2, and DB1.
• Group1 must be prevented from viewing RPT3.
• Group1 must be prevented from creating new reports and dashboards by using SM1.
• Group1 must be prevented from sharing the reports and dashboards to other users.
• Administrative effort must be minimized.
What should you do?
A. Publish an app.
B. Assign Group1 the Viewer role for WS1.
C. Store PBIX files in a shared folder in Microsoft OneDrive.
D. Share each item individually.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Publishing a Power BI app lets you include only RPT1, RPT2, and DB1 while excluding RPT3, so Group1 cannot see unwanted content. App consumers have read-only access: they cannot create new reports or dashboards from SM1 and cannot share the content with others. Access is managed once at the app level, which minimizes administrative effort compared to item-by-item sharing or workspace roles.
Question 54

You use Power Query Editor to review the query shown in the following exhibit.
Each Region value appears only on the row where it first occurred. Each subsequent occurrence of the Region value is blank.
You need to ensure that every row contains the correct non-blank value. The solution must minimize development effort.
Which column should you select, and which action should you perform on the column? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Column: Region
Action: Fill down
Explanation: The Region column contains blank values after the first occurrence in each group. Using Fill Down propagates the last non-blank Region value to subsequent rows, ensuring every row has the correct Region with minimal effort.
Question 55
You are creating a new semantic model in Microsoft Power BI Desktop.
You connect to a recently used data source and receive an error message indicating that the password is expired.
You need to update the credentials for the data source.
What should you do?
A. From Data Source settings, select the data source, and then select Edit Permissions.
B. From Options, select Data Load, and then select Clear Cache.
C. From Power Query Editor, select Refresh Preview.
D. From the Modeling tab, select Manage Roles, and then add a role.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: An expired password means the stored credentials for the data source are no longer valid. In Power BI Desktop, credentials are managed through Data Source Settings. Selecting the data source and choosing Edit Permissions allows you to edit and re-enter the correct credentials. The other options do not manage authentication details.
Question 56
You have a Microsoft Power BI Desktop report named Report1 that uses an Azure SQL database as a data source.
A user named User1 plans to create a report by using the same data source as Report1.
You need to simplify the connection to the data source for User1.
Which type of file should you create?
A. PBIDS
B. XLSX
C. PBIT
D. PBIX
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A PBIDS (Power BI Data Source) file is designed to simplify sharing and reusing a data source connection. Opening the PBIDS file in Power BI Desktop pre-fills the Azure SQL Database connection details so User1 can easily connect using the same source as Report1, without sharing the full report or template.
Question 57
You have a Power BI semantic model named Model1 that contains sales data.
You need to ensure that Model1 is refreshed on the first day of each month to include last month’s sales data.
What should you configure?
A. a scheduled refresh
B. an incremental refresh
C. a Microsoft Power Automate flow
D. an on-premises data gateway
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Power BI scheduled refresh supports only daily or weekly intervals, not a true monthly schedule. Incremental refresh optimizes what data is refreshed but does not control when it runs. To guarantee a refresh specifically on the first day of each month, you must use a Power Automate flow to trigger the semantic model refresh on a monthly schedule.
Question 58
You have a Power BI report that contains a bar chart. The bar chart displays sales by country.
You need to ensure that a summary of the data shown on the bar chart is accessible by using a screen reader.
What should you configure on the bar chart?
A. conditional formatting
B. alt text
C. the tab order
D. the layer order
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: To make the bar chart accessible to screen readers in Power BI, you configure alt text. Alt text allows you to provide a textual summary or description of what the visual shows, which screen readers can read aloud to users with visual impairments. The other options affect formatting or navigation order, not descriptive accessibility.
Question 61
DRAG DROP
-
You have a Power BI semantic model that contains a table.
You need to create a Power BI report page that contains two visuals that meet the following requirements:
• Visual 1: Displays the distribution of hierarchical data
• Visual 2: Search and then filter by values
Which type should you choose for each visual? To answer, drag the appropriate visual types to the correct visuals. Each visual type 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.
Explanation: A Treemap visualizes the distribution of hierarchical data using nested rectangles. A Slicer allows users to search and interactively filter report data by values.
Question 62
HOTSPOT -
You use Power Query Editor to review a query that contains a column named Country.
You need to view the following information in the Data preview view for the Country column:
• The percentage of values that contain errors.
• The count of empty values.
What should you enable? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Column quality
Column profile
Explanation: In Power Query Editor, Column quality displays percentages of valid, error, and empty values, which is required to see the percentage of errors. Column profile shows detailed statistics for the column, including the count of empty (null) values.
Question 63
You have a Power BI semantic model named Model1 that runs in Import storage mode.
You need to reduce the size of Model1.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Summarize the detail data.
B. Upgrade to Power BI premium.
C. Implement row-level security (RLS).
D. Optimize the column data types.
E. Change the active relationships between tables to inactive relationships.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, D
Explanation: To reduce the size of an Import mode Power BI semantic model, you should reduce the amount of data stored and improve compression. Summarizing detail data lowers row counts, which directly reduces memory usage. Optimizing column data types (for example, using numeric or date types instead of text) improves VertiPaq compression and further reduces model size. The other options do not directly reduce the in-memory size of the model.
