Question 1
Total = a*b/c*d how do you optimize this in

dax ?
To optimize this we ca write dax measure by

using “VAR” fucntion.
Total =
VAR a = 10
VAR b = 20
VAR c = 30
VAR d = 40
VAR e = DIVIDE(a * b, c * d, 0)
RETURN e

Question 2
Difference between Star Schema and Snowflake
Schema?
Star Schema:
Dimensions in a star schema are REM is represented

as a one-dimensional table that includes a collection
of properties.
The fact table is in the middle, containing the keys to

each Dimension table, and the overall organization
resembles a star schema.
If the fact table includes more than 80% of the data,

we should use a star schema, which will provide
excellent speed.

Question 2
Difference between Star Schema and

Snowflake Schema?
Snowflake Schema:
The snowflake schema's dimension tables are

normalized, which means they are split into
many dimensions to reduce duplicate data.
Snowflake schema is utilized when dimension

tables are large in size and contain a lot of
redundant data.

Question 3
What is Data Folws in Power BI?
Data flows are not produced in Power BI desktop,

but rather in Power BI service, therefore data flows
are effectively live queries that execute
independently within the Power BI as a service.
Okay, it's basically power queries online.
If you know that there is one particular table that

has to be utilized in multiple reports, you can create
a data flow, load that particular table, do all of the
transformations, then create your final table, and
then use that final table with all of the
transformations in all of the reports where it is
required, so in this way we are reusing the data flow.
Okay, that's the key aspect of a data blow: we reuse
the query across numerous reports.

Question 4
Different refreshes in Power BI?
1. Manual Refresh:
To manually refresh data in Power BI, click

the "Refresh" button in the Power BI Service
or Desktop App. This approach is appropriate
for tiny datasets that do not require regular
updates.
02
Question 4
Different refreshes in Power
BI?
2. Scheduled Refresh:
In Power BI, we can also plan

data refreshes to occur
automatically at regular or
specified periods. This
approach is appropriate for
bigger datasets with frequent
changes.
To schedule a refresh of the

program, you must have a
Power BI Pro or Power BI
Premium subscription.
02
Question 4
Different refreshes in Power BI?
3. Incremental Refresh:
Incremental refresh goes beyond planned refresh

procedures by automating partition generation and
administration for semantic model tables that often
load new and updated data. Most models have one
or more tables with transaction data that changes
often and can expand exponentially, similar to a fact
table in a relational or star database structure.
03
Question 5
Challenges you have faced during the
development of reports?
There are a lot of challenges that come with a day-

to-day task right you have to like there is no
particular thing that you can describe over here so
you can mentally prepare about this question
before only right if something related to data
incompleteness from the source, you can talk about
any particular Dax-related challenge you can talk
about any particular security-related challenge if
support

Question 6
What are the field parameters?
Field Parameters are a feature that allows users to

choose between several dimensions or values in a
data model, affecting what is presented on a
visualization. The concept is similar to Numeric Range
Parameters, however instead of only toggling a value,
you may also toggle between fields.
For example, you may define a field option to choose

between displaying Total Profit by Product Category
and Profit by Country, or any other dimension. You
could also construct a field parameter that transforms
the value from Profit to Revenue and use it instead or
in conjunction with the other Field Parameter to
provide even more customization.

Question 7
How to keep the default total sales values even if the
external users apply filters?
From this question, he wants to know whether you have

a specific card graphic having total sales and if you have
other slices in your report. whether you don't want to
modify your total sales amount if you apply any sort of
filter or slice on that particular page, how will you do it?
We may restrict the total sales to not change, thus what

you can do is move to this format. Tab and here you will
have edit interactions so edit interaction gives you the
facility of blocking or filtering okay so currently it is by
default filtering so that's why you see the respective sale
of category a but if you make it off so the total sales that
is value will not change so with the help of edit
interactions we can achieve this thing
03
Question 8
RLS?
Row-level security (RLS) in Power BI may be used to

restrict data access for certain users. Filters limit data
access at the row level, and you may create filters inside
roles. Users who have access to a workspace in the
Power BI service can access its semantic models. RLS
restricts data access exclusively to people having
Viewer rights. It does not apply to administrators,
members, or contributors.
Power BI allows you to setup RLS for data models that

are loaded into it. You may also enable RLS for semantic
models that use DirectQuery, such as SQL Server. Row-
level security for Analysis Services or Azure Analysis
Services connections is configured in the model rather
than in Power BI. The security option does not shown
for active connection semantic models.

Question 9
I have a category column with a,b,c,d I want to show
visual with x axis c,d,a,b how to handle this scenario?
Example Data
To achieve this we
need to create a
custom column
using “Total
Sales” column
03
Question 9
I have a category column with a,b,c,d I want to show
visual with x axis c,d,a,b how to handle this scenario?
Data
To get the output

like this you need
to sort the
“Category”
column based on
“Test” Column.
