Q1. DRAG DROP - (Topic 9)
You are the database administrator of a SQL Server 2012 data warehouse implemented as a single database on a production server. The database is constantly updated by using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube writeback operations.
The database uses the full recovery model. A backup strategy has been implemented to minimize data loss in the event of hardware failure.
SQL Server Agent jobs have been configured to implement the following backup operations:
A full database backup every day at 12:00 A.M.
Differential database backups every day at 6:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., and 6:00 P.M.
Transaction log backups every hour on the hour.
...
At 2:38 P.M. a SSIS package corrupts the data in a fact table. The corruption cannot be undone. You are notified at 3:15 P.M. You immediately take the database offline to prevent further data access and modification.
You need to restore the data warehouse and minimize downtime and data loss.

... .
You work in the Business Intelligence (BI) department of a multinational company.
The company has requested a new corporate BI solution that meets the following requirements:
The solution must use SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS).
The model must incrementally add 10 million fact rows per month.
The model must be translated to English, French, or Spanish based on users'
locale.
The model must be able to contain the most recent 36 months of data.
You need to select the appropriate model type and partitioning strategy to meet the requirements.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Create a multidimensional model with one partition for all of the data.
B. Create a multidimensional model with one partition for each month.
C. Create a tabular model with one partition for all of the data.
D. Create a tabular model with one partition for each month.
Answer: C
Q7. - (Topic 9)
A company has a relational data warehouse, a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) database, and a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance. The SSAS database contains a cube named Sales. Shared data sources exist in SSRS for the relational and SSAS databases. Each company department has its own report writers.
Report writers in the Marketing department want to create new reports by using Report Builder. Many reports will include data generated by a custom formula that references data stored either in a data warehouse table or in the Sales cube. The custom formula will compare time periods across multiple products, categories, and regions.
You have the following requirements:
. Ensure that only Marketing department report writers can access the custom formula.
..
Implement only one dataset.
Ensure that the dataset references the data source that will provide the fastest
data retrieval.
You need to meet the requirements to support the Marketing department report writers.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Create, deploy, and secure a shared dataset that references the SSAS database shared data source and includes a calculated member for the custom formula.
B. Create a calculated member in the Sales cube. Create, deploy, and secure a shared dataset that references the SSAS database shared data source and includes the calculated member from the cube.
C. Create and secure in the data warehouse a stored procedure that implements the custom formula. Create and deploy a shared dataset that references the data warehouse shared data source.
D. Create, deploy, and secure a shared dataset that references the data warehouse shared data source and includes custom Transact-SQL (T-SQL) code for the custom formula.
Answer: B
Q8. - (Topic 10)
You are developing a BI Semantic Model (BISM) based on a simple and small dataset sourced from SQL Server. The data size and complexity of the data relationships will not change. The model will be used to produce reports in Power View. The reports will show the relationship between product sales and rainfall over time.
You need to use an appropriate project type.
Which project types should you use? (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)
A. a tabular project that uses the DirectQuery query mode
B. a tabular project that uses the In-Memory query mode
C. a multidimensional project that uses the ROLAP storage mode and columnstore indexes
D. a multidimensional project that uses the MOLAP storage mode and proactive cache
E. a PowerPivot workbook that is deployed to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation: Power View is a thin web client that launches right in the browser from a data model in SharePoint Server 2010. The model can be a PowerPivot model workbook or a tabular model running on a SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS) server.
Q9. - (Topic 10)
You are developing a SQL Server PowerPivot workbook that sources data from a SQL Azure database. The PowerPivot model includes a single table named FactSales that consists of four columns named Year, Country, Product, and Revenue. The model includes the following two measures.
. Sales:=SUM(FactSales[Revenue;)
. Sales %:=;Sales] / CALCULATE([Sales], ALL(FactSales))
In Microsoft Excel 2010 you create the following PivotTable report.
Users report that the Sales % measure computes an incorrect ratio. The measure should meet a requirement to compute a ratio over all visible sales values defined by the query filters. The Grand Total value for the Sales % measure should equal 100%.
You need to fix the Sales % measure to meet the requirement.
Which Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) expression should you use?
A. = [Sales] / CALCULATE([Sales])
B. = [sales] / [Sales](ALLSELECTED(FactSales))
C. = [sales] / CALCULATE([Sales], VALUES(FactSales[Year]), VALUES(FactSales[Country]))
D. = [sales] / [Sales](ALLEXCEPT(FactSales, FactSales[Year]))
Answer: B
Q10. DRAG DROP - (Topic 10)
You manage a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance in native mode. You are building a shared dataset for your weekly performance reports. The shared dataset uses a data source that is configured to use credentials that are stored in the Report Server.
You have a predefined shared schedule to perform cleanup and maintenance tasks for SSRS.
You need to enable caching on the shared dataset. You also need to use an existing shared schedule to discard the cache.
