Question 300

A developer measures performance after filters change but compares uncached and cached runs without noting the difference. What is prudent?

  1. Focus on visual display overhead rather than rewriting an already-fast DAX measure.
  2. Benchmark comparable filter states and cache conditions before judging improvements.
  3. Use Performance Analyzer to inspect per-visual DAX query timings.
  4. Copy the visual query from Performance Analyzer into DAX query view for investigation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Benchmark comparable filter states and cache conditions before judging improvements. Different cache and visual states can distort timing comparisons.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The bottleneck is presentation time, not semantic-model query execution. This solves “a custom visual consumes most of its delay”; the stated issue is “uncached and cached runs without noting the difference”.

C:

Performance Analyzer separates query, display and other visual time costs. Its application is “visual spends most time running a DAX query”, not the need “uncached and cached runs without noting the difference”.

D:

Executing the extracted query helps isolate model evaluation behavior. That is a different operating condition from “uncached and cached runs without noting the difference”: “slow visual's DAX request outside the report canvas”.

Question 301

A fact table has millisecond timestamps with millions of unique values used only for daily grouping. What can help compression?

  1. Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail.
  2. Filter out unnecessary historical rows in the source or Power Query.
  3. Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model.
  4. Reduce unnecessary timestamp granularity while retaining required business detail.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Reduce unnecessary timestamp granularity while retaining required business detail. Lower cardinality can improve VertiPaq compression when fine detail is not required.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail. That is a different operating condition from “of unique values used only for daily grouping”: “deduplication and greatly increases model size”.

B:

Removing irrelevant rows reduces storage and refresh work. It serves “requirements cover only five years”, not “of unique values used only for daily grouping”.

C:

Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model. The present requirement is “of unique values used only for daily grouping”; “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports” is a distinct situation.

Question 302

A 200-million-row fact contains a long free-text Comment column unused by reports. What should be done?

  1. Add or retain a lower-grain date attribute suitable for required reports.
  2. Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail.
  3. Reduce unnecessary timestamp granularity while retaining required business detail.
  4. Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model. High-cardinality text can consume substantial model memory.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using only needed granularity reduces cardinality in analytical operations. That matters for “month grouping in dashboards but retains second-level precision” rather than the condition “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports”.

B:

Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail. The boundary it addresses is “deduplication and greatly increases model size”, while this case concerns “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports”.

C:

Lower cardinality can improve VertiPaq compression when fine detail is not required. This solves “of unique values used only for daily grouping”; the stated issue is “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports”.

Question 303

A surrogate TransactionID has no analytical purpose after deduplication and greatly increases model size. What should be considered?

  1. Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model.
  2. Filter out unnecessary historical rows in the source or Power Query.
  3. Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail.
  4. Reduce unnecessary timestamp granularity while retaining required business detail.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail. Removing unnecessary unique columns can improve compression.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model. The deciding difference is “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports” versus “deduplication and greatly increases model size”.

B:

Removing irrelevant rows reduces storage and refresh work. Its application is “requirements cover only five years”, not the need “deduplication and greatly increases model size”.

D:

Lower cardinality can improve VertiPaq compression when fine detail is not required. It serves “of unique values used only for daily grouping”, not “deduplication and greatly increases model size”.

Question 304

A DateTime fact column needs only month grouping in dashboards but retains second-level precision. What optimization is possible?

  1. Add or retain a lower-grain date attribute suitable for required reports.
  2. Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model.
  3. Filter out unnecessary historical rows in the source or Power Query.
  4. Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Add or retain a lower-grain date attribute suitable for required reports. Using only needed granularity reduces cardinality in analytical operations.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model. The present requirement is “month grouping in dashboards but retains second-level precision”; “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports” is a distinct situation.

C:

Removing irrelevant rows reduces storage and refresh work. That matters for “requirements cover only five years” rather than the condition “month grouping in dashboards but retains second-level precision”.

D:

Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail. The boundary it addresses is “deduplication and greatly increases model size”, while this case concerns “month grouping in dashboards but retains second-level precision”.

Question 305

A model loads 20 years of historical data when requirements cover only five years. Which step saves memory?

  1. Filter out unnecessary historical rows in the source or Power Query.
  2. Reduce unnecessary timestamp granularity while retaining required business detail.
  3. Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model.
  4. Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Filter out unnecessary historical rows in the source or Power Query. Removing irrelevant rows reduces storage and refresh work.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Lower cardinality can improve VertiPaq compression when fine detail is not required. This solves “of unique values used only for daily grouping”; the stated issue is “requirements cover only five years”.

C:

Remove the unused Comment column from the loaded semantic model. The deciding difference is “a long free-text Comment column unused by reports” versus “requirements cover only five years”.

D:

Drop unused transaction identifiers after confirming they are not needed for detail. Its application is “deduplication and greatly increases model size”, not the need “requirements cover only five years”.

Question 306

Executives repeatedly inspect daily Sales by Region while the base fact has billions of order lines. What helps?

  1. Evaluate Power BI aggregation tables over the DirectQuery detail.
  2. Validate aggregation mappings and dimension relationships for query compatibility.
  3. Keep detailed facts and add summaries as separate acceleration structures.
  4. Build an appropriate daily Region aggregation table or supported aggregation model.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Build an appropriate daily Region aggregation table or supported aggregation model. Preaggregated data can answer common grouping queries without scanning all detail rows.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Aggregations can cache common results while detailed queries remain at the source. Its application is “and sum queries without importing every detailed record”, not the need “the base fact has billions of order lines”.

B:

Aggregation optimization requires usable definitions, not just a smaller table. That is a different operating condition from “the base fact has billions of order lines”: “be used regardless of incorrect relationships and mappings”.

C:

Aggregates can supplement rather than destroy event-grain analysis. It serves “entirely with monthly totals, then loses customer drillthrough”, not “the base fact has billions of order lines”.

Question 307

A summary table is aggregated to Region but reports also filter by Product and needs that breakdown. Why might it fail to accelerate?

  1. Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping keys used by the query.
  2. Keep detailed facts and add summaries as separate acceleration structures.
  3. Build an appropriate daily Region aggregation table or supported aggregation model.
  4. Validate aggregation mappings and dimension relationships for query compatibility.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping keys used by the query. Missing Product grain can prevent a summary from answering Product-filtered requests.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Aggregates can supplement rather than destroy event-grain analysis. That matters for “entirely with monthly totals, then loses customer drillthrough” rather than the condition “Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping”.

C:

Preaggregated data can answer common grouping queries without scanning all detail rows. The boundary it addresses is “the base fact has billions of order lines”, while this case concerns “Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping”.

D:

Aggregation optimization requires usable definitions, not just a smaller table. This solves “be used regardless of incorrect relationships and mappings”; the stated issue is “Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping”.

Question 308

A developer replaces the detailed Sales table entirely with monthly totals, then loses customer drillthrough. What should change?

  1. Keep detailed facts and add summaries as separate acceleration structures.
  2. Validate aggregation mappings and dimension relationships for query compatibility.
  3. Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping keys used by the query.
  4. Build an appropriate daily Region aggregation table or supported aggregation model.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Keep detailed facts and add summaries as separate acceleration structures. Aggregates can supplement rather than destroy event-grain analysis.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Aggregation optimization requires usable definitions, not just a smaller table. The deciding difference is “be used regardless of incorrect relationships and mappings” versus “entirely with monthly totals, then loses customer drillthrough”.

C:

D:

Preaggregated data can answer common grouping queries without scanning all detail rows. That is a different operating condition from “entirely with monthly totals, then loses customer drillthrough”: “the base fact has billions of order lines”.

Question 309

A DirectQuery model needs to accelerate common count and sum queries without importing every detailed record. What feature may help?

  1. Build an appropriate daily Region aggregation table or supported aggregation model.
  2. Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping keys used by the query.
  3. Evaluate Power BI aggregation tables over the DirectQuery detail.
  4. Keep detailed facts and add summaries as separate acceleration structures.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Evaluate Power BI aggregation tables over the DirectQuery detail. Aggregations can cache common results while detailed queries remain at the source.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Preaggregated data can answer common grouping queries without scanning all detail rows. That is a different operating condition from “and sum queries without importing every detailed record”: “the base fact has billions of order lines”.

B:

Missing Product grain can prevent a summary from answering Product-filtered requests. It serves “Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping”, not “and sum queries without importing every detailed record”.

D:

Aggregates can supplement rather than destroy event-grain analysis. That matters for “entirely with monthly totals, then loses customer drillthrough” rather than the condition “and sum queries without importing every detailed record”.

Question 310

An analyst expects an aggregation table to be used regardless of incorrect relationships and mappings. What should be checked?

  1. Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping keys used by the query.
  2. Evaluate Power BI aggregation tables over the DirectQuery detail.
  3. Build an appropriate daily Region aggregation table or supported aggregation model.
  4. Validate aggregation mappings and dimension relationships for query compatibility.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Validate aggregation mappings and dimension relationships for query compatibility. Aggregation optimization requires usable definitions, not just a smaller table.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Missing Product grain can prevent a summary from answering Product-filtered requests. That matters for “Ensure aggregation grain supports all filters and grouping” rather than the condition “be used regardless of incorrect relationships and mappings”.

B:
