model size and the number of queries against the data source.
Which data modeling design should you use?
A. Use the Auto Date/Time functionality in Microsoft Power Bl and do NOT import the Date table.
B. Duplicate the Date query in Power Query and create active relationships between Sales and both
Date tables in the modeling view.
C. On the Date table, use a reference query in Power Query and create active relationships between
Sales and both Date tables in the modeling view.
D. Import the Date table twice in Power Query and create active relationships between Sales and
both Date tables in the modeling view.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Microsoft recommends defining active relationships whenever possible. They widen the scope and
potential of how your model can be used by report authors, and users working with Q&A.
Refactoring methodology (example): Here's a methodology to refactor a model from a single role-
playing dimension-type table, to a design with one table per role.
Remove any inactive relationships.
Consider renaming the role-playing dimension-type table to better describe its role. In the example,
the Airport table is related to the ArrivalAirport column of the Flight table, so it's renamed as Arrival
Airport.
Create a copy of the role-playing table, providing it with a name that reflects its role. If it's an Import
table, we recommend defining a calculated table. If it's a DirectQuery table, you can duplicate the
Power Query query.
Only one relationship can be active.
Note: If you query two or more tables at the same time, when the data is loaded, Power BI Desktop
attempts to find and create relationships for you. The relationship options Cardinality, Cross filter
direction, and Make this relationship active are automatically set.

Answer: CD
Explanation:
After two months of inactivity, scheduled refresh on your dataset is paused. A dataset is considered
inactive when no user has visited any dashboard or report built on the dataset. At that time, the
dataset owner is sent an email indicating the scheduled refresh is paused. The refresh schedule for
the dataset is then displayed as disabled. To resume scheduled refresh, simply revisit any dashboard
or report built on the dataset. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-

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.
Answer: B
Explanation:
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

In Power BI Service the username and userprincipalname both return the email address, it's only in
Power BI Desktop that username is domain/username rather than the email address. So I agree that
userprincipalname is better generally as you always get the same value, the answer is correct and
you can use username as your RLS since the role will be applied in the Service. See https://communit
