    Power BI
    Interview
    Questions
    Asked in Service Based Company

    @Azarshaik
    01

    Question 1

    Can we use User name and user principle


    name in static RLS?

    If it has to do with credentials, it has to do with


    dynamic row level security, so it's not used for
    static row level security. You should already
    know about static row level security and
    dynamic row level security. It's important to
    know that username and user principal name
    are both Dax functions that return the
    credentials of the logged-in user.
    01

    Question 2

    Does Power BI maintain /Store historical


    data and how?

    The answer is no, Power BI does not maintain


    or store historical data. However, we can use
    Power BI to do predictive analysis, which
    requires historical data.
    01

    Question 3

    Is it possible to create drill down and drill up


    on 3 fact tables?

    For this question, you need to know that fact


    tables usually aren't linked to each other. Fact
    tables are the tables where transactional data
    is stored. This means that in real-time projects,
    we usually have separate fact tables that aren't
    linked to each other. If they aren't linked, you
    can't make a drill down or drill up on those fact
    tables.
    01

    Question 4
    If there are constraint applied on table, does
    Primary key and Foreign key will affect in
    Power BI?

    In Power BI, when we load tables, we make a


    model on top of them. We find the primary
    keys, the foreign keys between two tables, and
    then we set up a one-to-many relationship. If a
    constant is applied to the primary key or the
    primary column of the table, it will definitely
    have an effect on the model. The primary key
    foreign key relationship may break, which will
    cause the one-to-many relationship to break
    as well, and the model will be useless.
    01

    Question 5
    If we are taking data from Data Base, table
    has 6k rows and table got truncated has only
    1k rows. Does Power BI will have the 6k rows
    from the table?

    If we connect Power BI to any table in a


    database, it will pick up the exact number of
    records that are in that table. For example, if
    the table has 1,000 rows, Power BI will pick up
    those rows. If it has 6,000 rows, Power BI will
    pick up those rows. It depends on the current
    number of rows in the table in the database.
    Whatever is there, it will be loaded in Power BI.
    01

    Question 6

    How will you identify type of license looking


    at workspace?

    Those who have worked with Power BI Service


    will know that by looking at the name of the
    workspace, you can tell what kind of license it
    has. For example, let me show you through a
    screenshot. This is an app workspace, and
    these are all the workspaces that are here. But
    if I talk about this MSX insights PRD, you can
    see that there is one icon over here that is
    called a Diamond icon.
    01

    Question 7

    What is the size of work space?

    Space for the workspace is again determined


    by the type of license it has. For example, a
    Premium license has 1GB of space, a Pro
    license has 400GB, and a Premium per user
    license has 100GB of space.
    01

    Question 8
    What is the unit testing in Power bi?

    Basically, unit testing means checking the


    report at the unit level, which is the lowest
    level you can test any report you've made. This
    means checking the report row by row to see if
    it has the right data and matches the data
    coming from the source. For example, if the
    data is coming from a SQL Server database,
    you have to check the row b of every table that
    is being pulled into Power BI.
    01

    Question 9
    Do you do the report validation, how do you
    do that ?

    While report validation is basically checking


    that the features you've added to Power BI are
    functioning properly, you can also check that
    the KPIs you've created, the calculations
    you've made, and the measures you've made
    or calculated are correct. To do this, you need
    to use a sample size of data to make sure. For
    example, if you have a running total measure,
    you can check each record individually.
    01

    Question 10
    How will you cross verify the data which is
    coming from data source to report?

    We create a model in Power BI using one-to-


    many relationships, and then we show the data
    in a table from multiple tables. To check if the
    data being shown is actually in the database,
    we have to go to the database, write a select
    statement using joints, and then take and
    fetch the query results. Once we have the
    query results, we export the data from the
    database in the same way we did in Power BI.
    01

    Question 11

    Did you done any automation?

    Basically, the PowerBI service has two


    features: subscriptions and alerts. You can tell
    the interviewer about these two features and
    whether you have used them or not. You can
    also talk about power automate for PowerBI.
    With this visual, you can also talk about some
    automations that people usually do, so you
    can also give an example of power automate in
    the automation part of this question.
    01

    Question 12

    What is dual mode?

    You know what import mode, direct query


    mode, and live connection are. But what is
    dual mode? Well, dual mode is when one table
    acts as an import mode for one table and as a
    direct query mode for another table at the
    same time. That table is in dual mode because
    it handles both modes at the same time.
