NumPy Interview Questions with Real-time Scenarios for Power BI and SQL

1. Scenario: Pre-aggregating data before Power BI

Q: You have a large numeric dataset stored in a .npy NumPy array format. How would you calculate the average

revenue per region?

A:

import numpy as np

data = np.load('revenue_data.npy') # Shape: (10000, 2) -> [RegionID, Revenue]

region_ids = np.unique(data[:, 0])

avg_revenue = {region: data[data[:, 0] == region][:, 1].mean() for region in region_ids}

2. Scenario: Replacing Excel calculations with NumPy

Q: How can you calculate standard deviation for sales in NumPy?

A:

sales = np.array([100, 200, 150, 175])

std_dev = np.std(sales)

3. Scenario: Detecting Outliers Before Power BI Import

Q: How would you detect outliers in a SalesAmount array using NumPy?

A:

sales = np.array([100, 110, 105, 120, 1300])

mean = np.mean(sales)

std = np.std(sales)

outliers = sales[np.abs(sales - mean) > 2 * std]

4. Scenario: Optimizing Memory Usage


Q: How can NumPy help preprocess large CSV files faster than Pandas?

A:

data = np.genfromtxt('sales.csv', delimiter=',', skip_header=1)

filtered_data = data[data[:, 2] > 1000]

5. Scenario: Vectorized Calculations for BI Dashboards

Q: Calculate profit margin using NumPy.

A:

revenue = np.array([1000, 1200, 1100])

cost = np.array([600, 700, 800])

profit_margin = (revenue - cost) / revenue

6. Scenario: SQL Aggregate Function in NumPy

Q: Translate SQL aggregate functions to NumPy:

SELECT COUNT(*), SUM(Sales), AVG(Sales) FROM Sales WHERE Region = 'West'

A:

region = np.array(['West', 'East', 'West', 'North'])

sales = np.array([200, 150, 300, 100])

west_sales = sales[region == 'West']

count = west_sales.size

total = west_sales.sum()

average = west_sales.mean()

7. Scenario: Interfacing NumPy with Power BI via Python script

Q: Use NumPy inside Power BI's Python script editor to calculate Z-score.

A:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = dataset # 'dataset' is input from Power BI

sales = df['Sales'].to_numpy()

df['Z_Score'] = (sales - np.mean(sales)) / np.std(sales)

8. Scenario: Use NumPy for Time Series Transformation

Q: How would you implement a 1-step lag in NumPy like DAX PREVIOUSMONTH?

A:

sales = np.array([100, 120, 140, 160])

lagged_sales = np.roll(sales, 1)

lagged_sales[0] = np.nan
