Data View

Report Canvas
Power Query

How is the Power Query Editor used within Power BI?

Power Query

Which two ways can we use the built-in functions in Power Query?

Select multiple options from below

B. Visualize data
C. Add new columns of data
D. Transform existing data
Power Query - Blanks & nulls

Missing, blank or null values can cause a lot of problems in Power BI, and in other

business intelligence tools.

Match the names to the definitions:

Nulls

Blanks

Represents a text string with zero characters. This zero length text string is

considered a value

B Represents the absence of all data. No data has been collected or entered
Data Modeling - Fact & Dimension Tables

What is the correct definition of Fact and Dimension Tables in a data model?

A. Fact Tables contain only Primary Keys.

B. Fact Tables add descriptions to the attributes in Dimension Tables; dimension tablesrecord an
event or measurement.
C. Dimension Tables contain Primary Keys, Foreign Keys, and Measures.
D. Fact Tables record an event or measurement, and Dimension Tables add adescription to the
attributes in Fact Tables
Data Modeling - Star Schema

When relating a Fact Table with a Dimension Table, which of the following results in a Many-to-Many
Relationship warning?

A. There are duplicate values in the Foreign Key of the Fact Table.
B. The Primary Key and Foreign Key columns contain the same values.
C. There are no matching values between the Primary Key and Foreign Key.
D. There are duplicate values in the Primary Key of the Dimension Table.
Data Modeling - Database Normalization
Database normalization is a method of storing and structuring data, which is efficient for storage and
analysis. In our report data model, we had a Fact Table that contained information about Sales and a
Dimension Table that contained information about Products.

Which of the following are Database Normalization concepts that should be applied to a Fact Table?

A. Product attributes should be merged on the Fact Table in a single column.

B. Rows in the Fact Table should be able to be uniquely identified.
C. Similar data should be in the same column - not spread out across multiple columns.
D. The attributes in the Fact Table should describe a sale. They should NOT describe the product.
Model Data - Best Practices

Which of the following are best practices to follow when finalizing a star schema data model?
(Select all that apply)

A. Hide numeric columns that drive DAX measures.

B. Set the data categories of columns where applicable.
C. Set the sort order of columns where applicable.
D. Hide the foreign key on the many sides of a relationship.
DAX - Date Intelligence
In order to use Date Intelligence functions in DAX, there needs to be a properly formatted Date imension
table in our data model. What is an action we can take to make sure that our Date Dimension is set up
Correctly?

A. Ensure the Date Dimension is not related to another table.

B. Create a Month and Month Name column.
C. Explicitly define DAX measures to populate the Date Dimension.
D. Ensure that the Date Dimension contains a column of consecutive dates that span the time
period of the report
DAX - Measures vs. Calculated Columns

What is the correct definition of Measures and Calculated Columns in DAX?

A Measure adds additional information to a table, a Calculated Column aggregates

the rows in a column.

A Measure summarizes multiple rows in a column, a Calculated Column returns a

result for each row in a column.

A Calculated Column adds additional information to a table. A Measure always

returns a unique result for each row in a table.

A Calculated Column summarizes multiple rows in a column, a Measure returns a

result for each row in a column.

DAX - Iterator Functions

What is the correct description of the following DAX Iterator Function?

SUMX( Sales, Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Price] )

In the Sales table, sum the Quantity and Price columns, then multiply the results.

In the data model, multiply the sum of Quantity by the sum of Price, and return the

results for each row.

In the Sales table, multiply the Quantity and Price columns for each row, then sum

the results.

In the Sales, multiply the sum of Quantity by the sum of Price, and return the results

for each row

Visuals - Formatting

What are some of the common formatting options that can be found in the Format icon menu?

Select multiple

 Data View
 Zoom Sliders
 Legend
 Title
User Experience - Conditional Formatting

Why can Conditional Formatting help with the User Experience of a Power BI report when applied to the
Table Visual?

Conditional Formatting can edit interactivity between visuals.

Conditional Formatting can create a table with alternating row colors.

Conditional Formatting can highlight key messages.

Conditional Formatting can filter out unwanted values.

User Experience - Conditional Formatting

Which of the following are types of Conditional Formatting that we explored in the course?

Select Multiple

A. Icons
B. Conditional Normalization
