1. What are Power BI Limitations?

a. Costly on-premises storage and processing

b. Limitations to face when dealing with huge data sets

2. SSRS VS Power BI

3. Sync filters for one page with same visual applicable or not?
Not. Because Sync filter use to slicer selection on any page will affect visualizations on all selected
pages.

4. Why we need used a Direct Query?

a. Do you need “real-time” or near real-time data
b. If data model size big? And when I say big, I mean BIG! So big

5. What type of security implemented in power BI Report?

Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI can be used to restrict data access for given users. Filters
restrict data access at the row level, and you can define filters within roles.

6. Incremental Refresh? Use?

Incremental refresh on a dataset including faster refreshes, more reliable refreshes and, a reduction in
resource consumption. Moreover, since incremental refresh is usually much more useful in cases where we
have potentially large datasets with millions upon millions of rows and there is a potential for the datasets
to grow significantly overtime, then it is essential that the partition filters are pushed to the source system
when queries are submitted for refresh operations.

a. Create parameters
b. Filter Data
c. Define Policy
7. How to schedule refresh for Power BI Report?
The Scheduled refresh section is where you define the frequency and time slots to refresh the dataset. Some
data sources do not require a gateway to be configurable for refresh; other data sources require a gateway.
Set the Keep your data up to date slider to on to configure the settings.

8. Data sources In Power BI Reporting?

The list of data sources for Power BI is extensive, but it can be grouped into the following:
 • Files: Data can be imported from Excel (.xlsx, xlxm), Power BI Desktop files (.pbix) and Comma Separated
Value (.csv).
• Content Packs: It is a collection of related documents or files that are stored as a group. In Power BI, there
are two types of content packs, firstly those from services providers like Google Analytics, Marketo or
Salesforce and secondly those created and shared by other users in your organization.
• Database: Connectors to databases and other datasets such as Azure SQL, Database and SQL, Server
Analysis Services tabular data, etc.

9. What is Power BI Mobile Features and Purpose of it?

Power BI offers a set of mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 mobile devices. In the mobile apps,
you connect to and interact with your cloud and on-premises data.
Power BI mobile apps are applications for your mobile and tablet devices that enable you to quickly view
your Power BI reports and dashboards. They allow you to connect to your data, make insights, collaborate
on the go, and get notified whenever your data changes.

10. Data Gateways and its types?

Gateway acts a bridge between on-premises data sources and Azure cloud services.
Personal Gateway:
• Import Only, Power BI Service Only, no central monitoring/managing.
• Can only be used by one person (personal); can’t allow others to use this gateway.

On-Premises Gateway:
• Import and Direct Query supported.
• Multiple users of the gateway for developing content.
• Central monitoring and control.

11. How many types of Joins Used in Power BI?

12. Cross Filters Definition?
Each model relationship must be defined with a cross filter direction. Your selection determines the
direction(s) that filters will propagate. The possible cross filter options are dependent on the cardinality
type.

13. Index Uses?

Create an index column to show the number of a row in a query. This is especially useful when you are
filtering by row position or by a range or rows. The index column can help you confirm your results. An index
column is also added to an Excel worksheet when you load it.

14. What is Data Flow?

A dataflow is a collection of tables that are created and managed in workspaces in the Power BI service. A
table is a set of columns that are used to store data, much like a table within a database. You can add and
edit tables in your dataflow, as well as manage data refresh schedules, directly from the workspace in which
your dataflow was created.

15. What are Dimensions and Facts?

Fact Tables:
The central table in a star schema of a data warehouse is a fact table that stores quantitative information for
analysis, which is not normalized in most cases.

Dimension Tables:
It is a table in the star schema which helps you to store attributes and dimensions which describe objects
that are stored in a fact table.
16. What is Drill Through Filters and scenario?
A Power BI drillthrough filter is used to identify the columns that are to be used to drillthrough from one
report page to another report page. Once the columns are selected, using the drillthrough command, the
second report page only shows the selected (filtered) data.
(Give a scenario based on your experience.)
