click on the record to expand it and to see the record and list.
Step 2: Add columns that use data type conversions.
Step 3: Convert the list to a table

8.

You import two Microsoft Excel tables named Customer and Address into Power Query. Customer
contains the following columns:
✑ Customer ID
✑ Customer Name
✑ Phone
✑ Email Address
✑ Address ID
Address contains the following columns:
✑ Address ID
✑ Address Line 1
✑ Address Line 2
✑ City
✑ State/Region
✑ Country
✑ Postal Code
The Customer ID and Address ID columns represent unique rows.
You need to create a query that has one row per customer. Each row must contain City,
State/Region, and Country for each customer.
What should you do?

 A. Merge the Customer and Address tables.

 B. Transpose the Customer and Address tables.
 C. Group the Customer and Address tables by the Address ID column.
 D. Append the Customer and Address tables.

Correct Answer: A
There are two primary ways of combining queries: merging and appending.
✑ When you have one or more columns that you‫ג‬€™d like to add to another query, you merge the
queries.
✑ When you have additional rows of data that you‫ג‬€™d like to add to an existing query, you
append the query.

9. You have the following three versions of an Azure SQL database:

✑ Test
✑ Production
✑ Development
You have a dataset that uses the development database as a data source.
You need to configure the dataset so that you can easily change the data source between the
development, test, and production database servers from powerbi.com.
Which should you do?
  A. Create a JSON file that contains the database server names. Import the JSON file to the
dataset.
 B. Create a parameter and update the queries to use the parameter.
 C. Create a query for each database server and hide the development tables.
 D. Set the data source privacy level to Organizational and use the ReplaceValue Power
Query M function.

Correct Answer: B
As you can't edit datasets data sources in Power BI service, we recommend using parameters to
store connection details such as instance names and database names, instead of using a static
connection string. This allows you to manage the connections through the Power BI service web
portal, or using APIs, at a later stage.
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/deployment-pipelines-best-practices
10. You have a CSV file that contains user complaints. The file contains a column named Logged.
Logged contains the date and time each complaint occurred. The data in Logged is in the following
format: 2018-12-31 at 08:59.
You need to be able to analyze the complaints by the logged date and use a built-in date hierarchy.
What should you do?

 A. Change the data type of the Logged column to Date.

 B. Apply a transformation to extract the last 11 characters of the Logged column and set
the data type of the new column to Date.
 C. Create a column by example that starts with 2018-12-31 and set the data type of the new
column to Date.
 D. Add a conditional column that outputs 2018 if the Logged column starts with 2018 and
set the data type of the new column to Whole Number.

Correct Answer: C
To use a built-in-date hierarchy, you need to set the data type of the new column to Date.

11. You have an Azure SQL database that contains sales transactions. The database is updated
frequently.
You need to generate reports from the data to detect fraudulent transactions. The data must be
visible within five minutes of an update.
How should you configure the data connection?

 A. Add a SQL statement.

 B. Set Data Connectivity mode to DirectQuery.
 C. Set the Command timeout in minutes setting.
 D. Set Data Connectivity mode to Import.

Correct Answer: B
With Power BI Desktop, when you connect to your data source, it's always possible to import a
copy of the data into the Power BI Desktop. For some data sources, an alternative approach is
available: connect directly to the data source using DirectQuery.
DirectQuery: No data is imported or copied into Power BI Desktop. For relational sources, the
selected tables and columns appear in the Fields list. For multi- dimensional sources like SAP
Business Warehouse, the dimensions and measures of the selected cube appear in the Fields list.
As you create or interact with a visualization, Power BI Desktop queries the underlying data source,
so you‫ג‬€™re always viewing current data.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Import: The selected tables and columns are imported into Power BI Desktop. As you create or
interact with a visualization, Power BI Desktop uses the imported data. To see underlying data
changes since the initial import or the most recent refresh, you must refresh the data, which
imports the full dataset again.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-use-directquery

12.
You have a data model that contains many complex DAX expressions. The expressions contain
frequent references to the RELATED and RELATEDTABLE functions.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the use of the RELATED and RELATEDTABLE
functions.
What should you recommend?

 A. Split the model into multiple models.

 B. Hide unused columns in the model.
 C. Merge tables by using Power Query.
 D. Transpose.

Correct Answer: C
Combining data means connecting to two or more data sources, shaping them as needed, then
consolidating them into a useful query.
When you have one or more columns that you‫ג‬€™d like to add to another query, you merge the
queries.
Note: The RELATEDTABLE function is a shortcut for CALCULATETABLE function with no logical
expression.
CALCULATETABLE evaluates a table expression in a modified filter context and returns A table of
values.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-shape-and-combine-data

13. You have a large dataset that contains more than 1 million rows. The table has a datetime
column named Date.
You need to reduce the size of the data model without losing access to any data.
What should you do?

 A. Round the hour of the Date column to startOfHour.

 B. Change the data type of the Date column to Text.

 C. Trim the Date column.

 D. Split the Date column into two columns, one that contains only the time and another that
contains only the date.

Correct Answer: D
We have to separate date & time tables. Also, we don‫ג‬€™t need to put the time into the date table,
because the time is repeated every day.
Split your DateTime column into a separate date & time columns in fact table, so that you can join
the date to the date table & the time to the time table. The time need to be converted to the nearest
round minute or second so that every time in your data corresponds to a row in your time table.

You are modeling data in a table named SalesDetail by using Microsoft Power BI.
You need to provide end users with access to the summary statistics about the SalesDetail data.
The users require insights on the completeness of the data and the value distributions.
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,
Select and Place:

Correct Answer: 

Explanation:
Step 1: Create a blank query as a data source
Start with a New Source in Power Query Editor, and then Blank Query.
Create a parameter that use a query for suggested values.
Step 2: Specify the following query, then close and apply. -Table.Profile(#ֲ¨SalesDetail")
In the new blank query, in the formula bar (if you don’t see the formula bar, check the formula bar
option in the View tab of the Power Query Editor), type below expression:
=Table.Profile()
Note that this code is not complete yet, we need to provide a table as the input of this function.
Note: The Table.Profile() function takes a value of type table and returns a table that displays, for
each column in the original table, the minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation, count of
values, count of null values and count of distinct values.
Step 3: Create a visual for the query table.
The profiling data that you get from Table.Profile function is like below;

After loading the data into Power BI, you will have the table with all columns, and it can be used in
any visuals.
