Overview

Litware, Inc. is an online retailer that uses Microsoft Power Bl dashboards and reports.

The company plans to leverage data from Microsoft SQL Server databases, Microsoft Excel files, text files, and several other data sources.

Litware uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to authenticate users.

Existing Environment

Sales Data

Litware has online sales data that has the SQL schema shown in the following table.

In the Date table, the dateid column has a format of yyyymmdd and the month column has a format of yyyymm.

The week column in the Date table and the weekid column in the Weekly_Returns table have a format of yyyyww.

The regionid column can be managed by only one sales manager.

Data Concerns

You are concerned with the quality and completeness of the sales data. You plan to verify the sales data for negative sales amounts.

Reporting Requirements

Litware identifies the following technical requirements:

• Executives require a visual that shows sales by region.

• Regional managers require a visual to analyze weekly sales and returns.

• Sales managers must be able to see the sales data of their respective region only.

• The sales managers require a visual to analyze sales performance versus sales targets.

• The sale department requires reports that contain the number of sales transactions.

• Users must be able to see the month in reports as shown in the following example: Feb 2020.

• The customer service department requires a visual that can be filtered by both sales month and ship month independently.

You need to address the data concerns before creating the data model.

What should you do in Power Query Editor?

3. You have a report that contains four pages. Each page contains slicers for the same four fields. Users report that when they select values on a slicer on one page, the visuals are not updated on all the pages. You need to recommend a solution to ensure that users can select a value once to filter the results on all the pages.

What are two possible recommendations to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

4. You need to minimize me size of the dataset. The solution must meet the report requirements What should you do?

5. DRAG DROP

To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

6. HOTSPOT

You have two Azure SQL databases that contain the same tables and columns.

For each database, you create a query that retrieves data from a table named Customers.

You need to combine the Customer tables into a single table. The solution must minimize the size of the data model and support scheduled refresh in powerbi.com.

What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

The calculation must respect any slicers on ProductCategoryName and must show the percentage of visible total sales. For example, if there are four ProductCategoryName values, and a user filters one out, a table showing ProductCategoryName and the calculation must sum up to 100 percent.

How should you complete the calculation? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• Analysts must be able to access all balance sheet and product catalog data.

• Analysts must be able to access only the profit and loss data of their respective business unit

• Analysts must be able to create new reports from the dataset that contains the profit and loss data, but the reports built by the analysts must NOT be included in the quarterly reports for the board.

You plan to relate the balance sheet table to a date table in Power Bl in a many-to-one relationship based on the last day of the month. At least one of the balance sheet reports in the quarterly reporting package must show the ending balances for the quarter, as well as for the previous quarter.

The date table will contain the columns shown in the following table.

The definitions and attributes for the products departments, and business units must be consistent across all the reports.

The board must be able to get the following information from the quarterly reports:

• Revenue trends over time

• The ending balances of each account

• Changes m long-term liabilities from the previous quarter

• The percent of total revenue contributed by each product category

• A comparison of quarterly revenue versus the same quarter from the previous year

Existing Environment

Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that produces outdoor equipment Contoso has quarterly board meetings for which financial analysts manually prepare Microsoft Excel reports, including profit and loss statements for each of the company's four business units, a company balance sheet, and net income projections for the next quarter.

Data and Sources

Data for the reports comes from three sources. Detailed revenue, cost and expense data comes from an Azure SQL database. Summary balance sheet data comes from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The balance sheet data is not related to the profit and loss results; other than they both relate to dates.

Monthly revenue and expense projections for the next quarter come from a Microsoft SharePoint Online list. Quarterly projections relate to the profit and loss results by using the following shared dimensions: date, business unit, department, and product category.

Net Income Projection Data

Net income projection data is stored in a SharePoint Online list named Projections in the format shown in the following table.

Revenue projections are set at the monthly level and summed to show projections for the quarter.

Balance Sheet Data

The balance sheet data is imported with final balances for each account per month in the format shown in the following table.

There is always a row for each account for each month in the balance sheet data.

Dynamics 365 Business Central Data

Business Central contains a product catalog that shows how products roll up to product categories, which roll up to business units. Revenue data is provided at the date and product level. Expense data is provided at the date and department level.

Business Issues

Historically, it has taken two analysts a week to prepare the reports for the quarterly board meetings. Also, there is usually at least one issue each quarter where a value in a report is wrong because of a bad cell reference in an Excel formula. On occasion, there are conflicting results in the reports because the products and departments that roll up to each business unit are not defined consistently.

Planned Changes

Contoso plans to automate and standardize the quarterly reporting process by using Microsoft Power Bl. The company wants to how long it takes to populate reports to less than two days. The company wants to create common logic for business units, products, and departments to be used across all reports, including, but not limited, to the quarterly reporting for the board.

Technical Requirements

Contoso wants the reports and datasets refreshed with minimal manual effort

The company wants to provide a single package of reports to the board that contains custom navigation and links to supplementary information.

Maintenance, including manually updating data and access, must be minimized as much as possible.

Security Requirements

The reports must be made available to the board from powerbi.com. A mail-enabled security group will be used to share information with the board.

The analysts responsible for each business unit must see all the data the board sees, except the profit and loss data, which must be restricted to only their business unit's data. The analysts must be able to build new reports from the dataset that contains the profit and loss data, but any reports that the analysts build must not be included in the quarterly reports for the board. The analysts must not be able to share the quarterly reports with anyone.

Report Requirements

You plan to relate the balance sheet to a standard date table in Power Bl in a many-to-one relationship based on the last day of the month. At least one of the balance sheet reports in the quarterly reporting package must show the ending balances for the quarter, as well as for the previous quarter.

Projections must contain a column named RevenueProjection that contains the revenue projection amounts. A relationship must be created from Projections to a table named Date that contains the columns shown in the following table.

• Revenue trends over time

• Ending balances for each account

• A comparison of expenses versus projections by quarter

• Changes in long-term liabilities from the previous quarter
