Question 90
A multilingual source changes column headers based on localization. What pipeline design is prudent?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Normalize source header names to stable canonical names before later transforms. Canonical names reduce failures from localized source schemas.
Incorrect Answers
Identify schema drift and update the dependent transformation step. Its application is “source removes a field referenced by Power Query”, not the need “multilingual source changes column headers based on localization”.
Schema contracts catch incompatible types before they silently alter results. That is a different operating condition from “multilingual source changes column headers based on localization”: “a decimal one month and string the next”.
Explicit schemas insulate models from irrelevant source columns. It serves “source field should not change report measure definitions”, not “multilingual source changes column headers based on localization”.
