Sample Questions

Choose an answer and explore the explanation to see how practice works.

Maintain a data analytics solution

A report owner wants to know whether a warehouse column can be renamed. The warehouse feeds a dataflow, two semantic models, and one Excel connected table. Which evidence is most relevant before approving the rename?

Prepare data

A dataflow loads supplier records from three regions. Region A sends TaxId with hyphens, Region B sends spaces, and Region C omits the country prefix. Duplicate suppliers are slipping into DimSupplier even though the natural identifier is legally the same after normalization. What should you do before the dimension load?

Implement and manage semantic models

A model has 70 base measures. Report authors ask for Current Month, Previous Month, Month-over-Month Change, and Year-to-Date versions of nearly every measure. You need a maintainable design that avoids creating hundreds of duplicate measures. What should you use?

Prepare data

A lakehouse bronze table includes malformed JSON rows in 0.5 percent of messages. The business wants valid rows loaded, invalid rows retained for triage, and pipeline runs not to fail for known parse defects. What should you implement?

Implement and manage semantic models

A semantic model over a warehouse uses Import mode and contains a 900 million row Sales fact table. Only the most recent two years are queried daily, but seven years must remain available for annual audit reports. Refresh now exceeds the service window. What should you implement?
