Analyzing Data with Microsoft Power BI
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?
A. In Power BI service, import the data from the Sales spreadsheet.
B. In Microsoft Excel, publish the Sales spreadsheet to the Power BI service.
C. In Microsoft Excel, convert the data in the Sales spreadsheet to a flat table.
D. 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
a flat table, each column contains the same data type; for example, text, date, number, or
currency. Your table should have a header row, but not any columns or rows that display totals.

Your company has a data model for its sales data. The sales data has a column named Date.
You want to view the data by week.
What action should you take to quickly view sales data by week?

A. Create a new aggregation that summarizes by date.
B. Create a new group on the Date column and set the Group type to List.
C. Create a new group on the Date column and set the Group type to Bin.
D. 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.
