Microsoft PL-300 Practice Test 2

Question 10

A shared folder holds equally structured monthly files that must be ingested together. Which starting connector fits?

  1. Use the Folder connector and Combine Files with an example transformation.
  2. Use the Excel workbook connector and select the required tables or sheets.
  3. Use the Web or JSON pathway and expand the returned records in Power Query.
  4. Use the Text/CSV connector with the correct delimiter and encoding.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Use the Folder connector and Combine Files with an example transformation. Folder ingestion applies a common transformation to matching files without manually importing each file.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The Excel connector understands workbook navigation items and table structures. That is a different operating condition from “must be ingested together”: “tables and should be imported into Power Query”.

C:

JSON-oriented ingestion preserves nested objects until they are expanded into tabular columns. It serves “the analyst must expand into fields”, not “must be ingested together”.

D:

Text/CSV import parses delimited records rather than treating each file as an Excel workbook. The present requirement is “must be ingested together”; “text with a header row and encoding requirements” is a distinct situation.

Question 11

A Power BI service refresh against Microsoft 365 data should use an organizational sign-in that respects account access. Which credential type fits?

  1. Configure supported Database or Basic credentials for the database account.
  2. Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth sign-in.
  3. Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL connection.
  4. Update the semantic model's data source credentials in Power BI service settings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth sign-in. Organizational OAuth uses the tenant identity rather than a local Windows password.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Database credentials authenticate with the source's native user and password. The present requirement is “Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth”; “a database-specific login not tied to Microsoft Entra” is a distinct situation.

C:

Windows authentication is distinct from Basic username-and-password credentials. The boundary it addresses is “Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL”, while this case concerns “Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth”.

D:

The service refresh identity is configured separately from the authoring machine's cached credentials. This solves “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene”; the stated issue is “Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth”.

Question 12

A local SQL Server uses integrated Windows authentication and the connector supports that protocol. Which login type is appropriate?

  1. Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL connection.
  2. Use a supported connector authentication mechanism instead of hard-coding secrets in M.
  3. Update the semantic model's data source credentials in Power BI service settings.
  4. Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth sign-in.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL connection. Windows authentication is distinct from Basic username-and-password credentials.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Connector-managed credentials can be rotated and governed independently of report code. The deciding difference is “token in every Power Query script is prohibited” versus “Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL”.

C:

The service refresh identity is configured separately from the authoring machine's cached credentials. Its application is “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene”, not the need “Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL”.

D:

Organizational OAuth uses the tenant identity rather than a local Windows password. That is a different operating condition from “Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL”: “Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth”.

Question 13

A database administrator supplies a database-specific login not tied to Microsoft Entra. Which credential should be selected?

  1. Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth sign-in.
  2. Configure supported Database or Basic credentials for the database account.
  3. Use a supported connector authentication mechanism instead of hard-coding secrets in M.
  4. Update the semantic model's data source credentials in Power BI service settings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Configure supported Database or Basic credentials for the database account. Database credentials authenticate with the source's native user and password.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Organizational OAuth uses the tenant identity rather than a local Windows password. That is a different operating condition from “a database-specific login not tied to Microsoft Entra”: “Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth”.

C:

Connector-managed credentials can be rotated and governed independently of report code. The present requirement is “a database-specific login not tied to Microsoft Entra”; “token in every Power Query script is prohibited” is a distinct situation.

D:

The service refresh identity is configured separately from the authoring machine's cached credentials. That matters for “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene” rather than the condition “a database-specific login not tied to Microsoft Entra”.

Question 14

An API requires a bearer access token, and embedding a static token in every Power Query script is prohibited. What is safer?

  1. Update the semantic model's data source credentials in Power BI service settings.
  2. Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL connection.
  3. Configure supported Database or Basic credentials for the database account.
  4. Use a supported connector authentication mechanism instead of hard-coding secrets in M.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Use a supported connector authentication mechanism instead of hard-coding secrets in M. Connector-managed credentials can be rotated and governed independently of report code.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The service refresh identity is configured separately from the authoring machine's cached credentials. That matters for “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene” rather than the condition “token in every Power Query script is prohibited”.

B:

Windows authentication is distinct from Basic username-and-password credentials. The boundary it addresses is “Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL”, while this case concerns “token in every Power Query script is prohibited”.

C:

Database credentials authenticate with the source's native user and password. This solves “a database-specific login not tied to Microsoft Entra”; the stated issue is “token in every Power Query script is prohibited”.

Question 15

A published model's service refresh breaks after a password change, but the local PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene?

  1. Use a supported connector authentication mechanism instead of hard-coding secrets in M.
  2. Update the semantic model's data source credentials in Power BI service settings.
  3. Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL connection.
  4. Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth sign-in.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Update the semantic model's data source credentials in Power BI service settings. The service refresh identity is configured separately from the authoring machine's cached credentials.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Connector-managed credentials can be rotated and governed independently of report code. The deciding difference is “token in every Power Query script is prohibited” versus “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene”.

C:

Windows authentication is distinct from Basic username-and-password credentials. That is a different operating condition from “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene”: “Select Windows credentials for the supported integrated SQL”.

D:

Organizational OAuth uses the tenant identity rather than a local Windows password. It serves “Authenticate with an Organizational account using supported OAuth”, not “PBIX still opens. Where should the owner intervene”.

Question 16

An on-premises SQL Server is inaccessible from Power BI's cloud service. What connectivity component is required?

  1. Match the gateway data source connection details and credentials to the semantic model.
  2. Treat personal gateway mode as individual-use rather than enterprise shared connectivity.
  3. Use a standard on-premises data gateway managed by the team.
  4. Install and configure an on-premises data gateway with access to that SQL Server.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Install and configure an on-premises data gateway with access to that SQL Server. The gateway securely relays cloud requests to private network data sources.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Gateway mapping depends on consistent connection configuration, not merely installation. It serves “data source name differs from the published model”, not “Server is inaccessible from Power BI's cloud service”.

B:

Personal mode does not provide the same shared administration features as standard mode. The present requirement is “Server is inaccessible from Power BI's cloud service”; “personal-mode gateway only for an individual refresh setup” is a distinct situation.

C:

Standard mode supports shared data sources and centralized gateway management. That matters for “centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models” rather than the condition “Server is inaccessible from Power BI's cloud service”.

Question 17

A team needs centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models. Which gateway configuration best fits?

  1. Use a standard on-premises data gateway managed by the team.
  2. Match the gateway data source connection details and credentials to the semantic model.
  3. Install and configure an on-premises data gateway with access to that SQL Server.
  4. Treat personal gateway mode as individual-use rather than enterprise shared connectivity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Use a standard on-premises data gateway managed by the team. Standard mode supports shared data sources and centralized gateway management.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Gateway mapping depends on consistent connection configuration, not merely installation. This solves “data source name differs from the published model”; the stated issue is “centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models”.

C:

The gateway securely relays cloud requests to private network data sources. The deciding difference is “Server is inaccessible from Power BI's cloud service” versus “centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models”.

D:

Personal mode does not provide the same shared administration features as standard mode. Its application is “personal-mode gateway only for an individual refresh setup”, not the need “centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models”.

Question 18

A developer uses a personal-mode gateway only for an individual refresh setup. What is the important limitation?

  1. Use a standard on-premises data gateway managed by the team.
  2. Treat personal gateway mode as individual-use rather than enterprise shared connectivity.
  3. Connect directly from Power BI service without adding an on-premises gateway.
  4. Match the gateway data source connection details and credentials to the semantic model.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Treat personal gateway mode as individual-use rather than enterprise shared connectivity. Personal mode does not provide the same shared administration features as standard mode.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Standard mode supports shared data sources and centralized gateway management. Its application is “centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models”, not the need “personal-mode gateway only for an individual refresh setup”.

C:

A gateway is not automatically necessary for supported reachable cloud data sources. It serves “with cloud credentials and no private network restriction”, not “personal-mode gateway only for an individual refresh setup”.

D:

Gateway mapping depends on consistent connection configuration, not merely installation. The present requirement is “personal-mode gateway only for an individual refresh setup”; “data source name differs from the published model” is a distinct situation.

Question 19

A supported Azure cloud source is reachable directly from the service with cloud credentials and no private network restriction. What is appropriate?

  1. Match the gateway data source connection details and credentials to the semantic model.
  2. Use a standard on-premises data gateway managed by the team.
  3. Install and configure an on-premises data gateway with access to that SQL Server.
  4. Connect directly from Power BI service without adding an on-premises gateway.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Connect directly from Power BI service without adding an on-premises gateway. A gateway is not automatically necessary for supported reachable cloud data sources.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Gateway mapping depends on consistent connection configuration, not merely installation. The present requirement is “with cloud credentials and no private network restriction”; “data source name differs from the published model” is a distinct situation.

B:

Standard mode supports shared data sources and centralized gateway management. That matters for “centralized, shared connectivity for multiple scheduled-refresh semantic models” rather than the condition “with cloud credentials and no private network restriction”.

C:

The gateway securely relays cloud requests to private network data sources. The boundary it addresses is “Server is inaccessible from Power BI's cloud service”, while this case concerns “with cloud credentials and no private network restriction”.

Question 20

A gateway is installed but refresh fails because the mapped SQL data source name differs from the published model. What should be checked?

  1. Connect directly from Power BI service without adding an on-premises gateway.
  2. Match the gateway data source connection details and credentials to the semantic model.
  3. Install and configure an on-premises data gateway with access to that SQL Server.
  4. Use a standard on-premises data gateway managed by the team.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Match the gateway data source connection details and credentials to the semantic model. Gateway mapping depends on consistent connection configuration, not merely installation.
