Microsoft Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server Sample Questions:
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional project.
A fact table is related to a dimension table named DimScenario by a column named ScenarioKey.
The dimension table contains three rows for the following scenarios:
* Actual
* Budget Q1
* Budget Q3
You need to create a dimension to allow users to view and compare data by scenario.
What should you do?
- A. Create several dimensions. Add each dimension to the cube.
- B. Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy. Set the IsAggregatable property to False and then set the DefaultMember property. Use a many-to-many relationship to link the dimension to the measure group.
- C. Create a new named calculation in the data source view to calculate a rolling sum. Add a measure that uses the Max aggregate function based on the named calculation.
- D. Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy. Set the IsAggregatable property to False and then set the DefaultMember property. Use a regular relationship between the dimension and measure group.
- E. Add a hidden measure that uses the Sum aggregate function. Add a calculated measure aggregating the measure along the time dimension.
- F. Add a measure that uses the Count aggregate function to an existing measure group.
- G. Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy. Set the ValueColumn property, set the IsAggregatable property to False, and then set the DefaultMember property. Configure the cube dimension so that it does not have a relationship with the measure group. Add a calculated measure that uses the MemberValue attribute property.
- H. Add a measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function to an existing measure group.
- I. Add a measure group that has one measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function.
- J. Use the Business Intelligence Wizard to define dimension intelligence.
- K. Create a dimension. Then add a cube dimension and link it several times to the measure group.
- L. Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy. Set the IsAggregatable property to False and then set the DefaultMember property. Use a many-to-many relationship to link the dimension to the measure group.
- M. Add a calculated measure based on an expression that counts members filtered by the Exists and NonEmpty functions.
- N. Use role playing dimensions.
- O. Create a dimension. Create regular relationships between the cube dimension and the measure group. Configure the relationships to use different dimension attributes.

You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project.
You need to add a calculated column to a table in the model.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1:
Box 2:
Box 3:
Note:
* In the model designer, in Data View, select the table to which you want to add a calculated column, then click the Column menu, and then click Add Column.
* To create a new calculated columnAdd Column is highlighted over the empty rightmost column, and the cursor moves to the formula bar.
To create a new column between two existing columns, right-click an existing column, and then click Insert Column.
* In the formula bar, do one of the following:
* Press ENTER to accept the formula.
* Calculated columns, in tabular models, allow you to add new data to your model. Instead of pasting or importing values into the column, you create a DAX formula that defines the column's row level values. The calculated column can then be used in a report, PivotTable, or PivotChart as would any other column.
* A calculated column is DAX expression that creates a new column in a table and the obtained values are stored in the table; the calculated column expression is evaluated every time the table is processed.
* In tabular object models the calculated column is a column in a table whose values are calculated upon definition of the column, from an expression.
You need to ensure that all reports meet the reporting requirements.
What is the best way to achieve the goal? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.
- A. Create a report. Copy the report to source code control. Create each new report by using the report template in source code control.
- B. Create a report part. Publish the report part to a server that has SSRS installed. Add the report part to each new report that is created.
- C. Create a report. Copy the report to the PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject folder in the Visual Studio directory. Create each new report by using the locally stored report
- D. Create a report part. Publish the report part to a SharePoint site. Add the report part to each new report that is created.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️

You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project based on a Microsoft Azure SQL Database database. The ProcessingOption property for the project is set to Do Not Process.
Several calculated columns have been added to a table. The project has been deployed to the production server.
You need to ensure that newly added data is processed on the production server.

* In theProcess Tabledialog box, in theModelistbox, select one of the following process modes:
Etc-
You are managing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular database.
The database must meet the following requirements:
* The processing must load data into partitions or tables.
* The processing must not rebuild hierarchies or relationships.
* The processing must not recalculate calculated columns.
You need to implement a processing strategy for the database to meet the requirements.
Which processing mode should you use?
- A. Process Default
- B. Process Clear
- C. Process Data
- D. Process Full
- E. Process Add
