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)
