Version 1.0
Topic 1, Prepare the Data

• QUESTION NO 1
• You have a Microsoft Excel workbook with a
  spreadsheet named Sales.
• You want to use the Sales spreadsheet in a Power
  BI dashboard report. How should you prepare the
  data on Sales spreadsheet?
• In Power BI service, import the data from the
  Sales spreadsheet.
• In Microsoft Excel, publish the Sales spreadsheet
  to the Power BI service.
• In Microsoft Excel, convert the data in the Sales
  spreadsheet to a flat table.
• In the Power BI service, upload the Excel
  workbook.
• Answer C Explanation
• Before you can load your Excel file into Power
  BI, you must organize your data in a flat table.
  In

Date. You want to view the data by week. What
action should you take to quickly view sales data
by week?

• Create a new aggregation that summarizes by date.
• Create a new group on the Date column and set the
  Group type to List.
• Create a new group on the Date column and set the
  Group type to Bin.
• Create a new hierarchy that summarizes by date.
• Answer C Explanation
• You can set the bin size for numerical and time
  fields in Power BI Desktop.
• Incorrect Answers
• D To add week hierarchy you would need to create
  a separate date table using CALENDARAUTO and
  then add a column using WEEKNUM to that table.
  You would also need to add columns using YEAR,
  FORMAT(Date,"mmmm" and a quarter function using
  SWITCH. Then you could build a hierarchy
  manually using these columns. Binning would be
  easier and quicker.
