HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. A dimension named Category is based on the DimCategory table.
A subset of the data source view is shown in the following graphic.

You need to relate the Category dimension to the Sales measure group.
Which relationship type should you choose?
To answer, select the appropriate option from the drop-down list in the dialog box.

You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project.
You need to grant the minimum permissions necessary to enable users to query data in a tabular model.
Which role permission should you use?

DRAG DROP
A company has a data warehouse that is rapidly increasing in size.
You plan to improve query performance by partitioning a very large fact table.
You need to identify the columns that are good partitioning candidates and the range that
each partition should include.
Which component should you add to the package?
To answer, drag the appropriate component from the list of items to the answer area.

You have two servers named Served and Server2. Both servers have SQL Server 2012 installed. Both servers have a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) catalog.
You are preparing a disaster recovery plan for a business intelligence (BI) solution.
You need to ensure that the SSIS catalog from Server1 can be restored to Server2.
Which two actions should you perform on Server1? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

HOTSPOT
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
You are writing the following Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) statement for use by a calculated measure. The measure computes the sales amount for the same time period of the previous year. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)

You need to complete the MDX statement.
Which MDX function should you use in line 03? To answer, select the appropriate MDX function in the functions list.

You need to design the dimCustomers table. Which design approach should you use?

You deploy a PowerPivot workbook to a document library in a Microsoft SharePoint site. Workbook data comes from two different sources: Source A and Source B.
The workbook contains three small lookup tables from Source A, and five tables with a total of 20 million rows from Source B.
Data from Source A is updated at 9:00 A.M. and data from Source B is updated throughout the day.
You have the following requirements:
- Refresh the PowerPivot workbook with updated lookup data as soon as possible.
- Minimize load on the source systems and the SharePoint environment during business hours.
- Minimize user involvement in the data refresh process.
You enable automatic data refresh for the workbook.
You need to configure a data refresh schedule for the workbook that meets the requirements.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are developing a new SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report in SQL Server
Data Tools (SSDT). This report has a table named Table1 and a textbox named Textbox1.
Table1 is initially visible but the user must be able to choose when to hide it.
You need to develop the report to meet the requirement.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

A SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube contains a large measure group. The fact table supporting the measure group is loaded with new data throughout the day.
You have the following requirements:
Ensure that the cube displays current data as quickly as possible.
Maximize availability of the cube.
Maximize query performance for all aggregation levels.
You need to choose a partitioning strategy that meets the requirements.
Which partitioning strategy should you choose? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

HOTSPOT
A company maintains separate environments for test, production, and quality assurance. The company uses the project deployment model for SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) deployments.
You create an SSIS project to perform a weekly refresh of the company's data warehouse and cubes. The project has three packages.
You need to configure the project to ensure so that the test and production teams can run each package without manually adding server-specific information.
Which program should you use?
To answer, select the appropriate program in the answer area.

You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube for the sales department at your company.
The sales department requires the following set of metrics:
Unique count of customers
Unique count of products sold
Sum of sales
You need to ensure that the cube meets the requirements while optimizing query response time.
What should you do? (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)

You need to fix the PowerPivot data refresh problem by using the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?

You are designing a reporting solution that uses SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) in SharePoint integrated mode.
The reporting solution must meet the following requirements:
---
Allow report writers to reuse content between different reports. Allow report writers to modify reusable content in SharePoint. Retain version history for report content.
You need to choose a reporting method that meets the requirements.
What should you use? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You are developing a BI Semantic Model (BISM) based on a simple and small dataset sourced from SQL Server. The data size and complexity of the data relationships will not change. The model will be used to produce reports in Power View. The reports will show the relationship between product sales and rainfall over time.
You need to use an appropriate project type.
Which project types should you use? (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)
