You have a Microsoft Power Bl report named Report1 that uses a Fabric semantic model.
Users discover that Report1 renders slowly.
You open Performance analyzer and identify that a visual named Orders By Date is the slowest to render. The duration breakdown for Orders By Date is shown in the following table.
What will provide the greatest reduction in the rendering duration of Report1?

You have a Microsoft Power Bl semantic model.
You plan to implement calculation groups.
You need to create a calculation item that will change the context from the selected date to month-to-date (MTD).
How should you complete the DAX expression? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

How should you complete the DAX expression? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
To create a calculation item that changes the context from the selected date to month-to-date (MTD), the appropriate DAX expression involves using the CALCULATE function to alter the filter context and the DATESMTD function to specify the month-to-date context.
The correct completion for the DAX expression would be:
In the first dropdown, select CALCULATE.
In the second dropdown, select SELECTEDMEASURE.
This would create a DAX expression in the form:
CALCULATE(
SELECTEDMEASURE(),
DATESMTD( ' Date ' [DateColumn])
)

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
In Azure DevOps workspace (project) security settings, role assignments determine access levels for groups:
Viewer (equivalent to the Readers security group): Grants read-only access to work items, code, pipelines, and other artifacts. Ideal for review-only scenarios where users need to view but not edit content.
Contributor (equivalent to the Contributors security group): Allows full edit and contribute privileges, such as updating work items, code reviews, and pipeline runs. Suitable for active participation in reviews that may involve feedback or changes.
Based on the group names implying review-focused access, Viewer fits Group1 for passive observation, while Contributor fits Group2 for interactive review tasks. These align with default Azure DevOps permissions for secure, least-privilege access.
You have a Fabric tenant that contains a semantic model named Model1.
Model1 contains the following tables.
Model1 contains the following tables.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
You have a Fabric tenant that contains a semantic model named model1. The two largest columns in model1 are shown in the following table.
You need to optimize model 1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* Reduce the model size.
* Increase refresh performance when using Import mode.
* Ensure that the datetime value for each sales transaction is available in the model.
What should you do on each column? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

* Ensure that the datetime value for each sales transaction is available in the model.
What should you do on each column? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
We are optimizing model1 in Fabric with two very large columns:
TransactionKey
Cardinality: 2.5 billion
Size: 160 GB
Description: surrogate key for SalesTransaction fact table.
SaleDateTime
Cardinality: 6.8 million
Size: 120 GB
Description: datetime (to the second) of when a sale occurred.
Goal:
Reduce model size.
Improve refresh performance (Import mode).
Ensure datetime values remain available.
Analysis per column
1. TransactionKey (very high cardinality)
Surrogate keys with extremely high cardinality do not add analytical value in a semantic model because they are not used in measures or grouping.
They take a lot of memory and reduce refresh performance.
Best practice: remove the column from the model.
2. SaleDateTime
Needed to analyze transactions by date and time.
However, storing the full datetime at second-level cardinality causes huge memory usage.
To optimize: split the column into Date and Time columns.
Reduces cardinality significantly.
Preserves full datetime information (can recombine if needed).
Improves compression and refresh speed.
Final Answer:
TransactionKey: Remove the column.
SaleDateTime: Split the column.

You have a Fabric tenant that contains a takehouse named lakehouse1. Lakehouse1 contains a Delta table named Customer.
When you query Customer, you discover that the query is slow to execute. You suspect that maintenance was NOT performed on the table.
You need to identify whether maintenance tasks were performed on Customer.
Solution: You run the following Spark SQL statement:
DESCRIBE HISTORY customer
Does this meet the goal?
