Study Notes
Power BI Query Editor
- Importing from Excel requires the data to be loaded to Power BI initially.
- To combine products from two tables into one table with no duplicate values, perform the following actions in sequence:
- Import From Excel
- Append Table 2 to Table 1
- Remove Duplicates from the appended table
Date and Time Analysis
- To analyze complaints by logged date and use a built-in date hierarchy, split the Logged column by using "at" as the delimiter.
- This allows separation of the date and time into separate columns.
Combining Queries
- There are two primary ways of combining queries: merging and appending.
- Merging is used when you have one or more columns that you'd like to add to another query.
- Appending is used when you have additional rows of data that you'd like to add to an existing query.
- To create a Power BI dataset that contains a single table named Product, merge the queries and disable the query load.
Data Refresh
- To ensure that the Power BI service can connect to an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database and refresh the dataset, perform the following actions in sequence:
- Configure an on-premises data gateway.
- Add a data source.
- Add the dataset owner to the data source.
- Configure a scheduled refresh.
Data Connectors
- If there is no specific connector for a Cassandra database, use an ODBC connector.
- ODBC allows you to connect to data sources that aren't identified in the Get Data lists.
- You can specify a Data Source Name (DSN) or a connection string to connect to the ODBC driver.
Table Relationships
- To combine tables into a single query that contains the unique columns of each table, select Merge queries in Power Query Editor.
- Merge combines columns, while Append combines rows.
Organizational Data Types
- To make a table available as an organizational data type in Microsoft Excel, configure the properties of the table as follows:
- Set the row label to Name.
- Set the key column to ID.
- Set the organizational data type to Yes.
Row-Level Security (RLS)
- To meet the requirements of row-level security (RLS), perform the following actions:
- Create a single role that filters Country[Manager_Email] by using the USERNAME DAX function.
- (Additional action not specified)
