Microsoft Developing SQL Data Models Sample Questions:
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project that will be used by the finance, sales, and marketing teams.
The sales team reports that the model is too complex and difficult to use. The sales team does not need any information other than sales-related resources in the tabular model. The finance and marketing teams need to see all the resources in the tabular model.
You need to implement a solution that meets the needs of the sales team while minimizing development and administrative effort.
What should you do?
- A. Create a separate partition for each team.
- B. Enable client side security to filter non-sales data.
- C. Create a separate data source for each team.
- D. Create a perspective for the sales team.
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
A company has an e-commerce website. When a customer places an order, information about the transaction is inserted into tables in a Microsoft SQL Server relational database named OLTP1. The company has a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance that is configured to use Tabular mode. SSAS uses data from OLTP1 to populate a data model.
Sales analysts build reports based on the SSAS model. Reports must be able to access data as soon as it is available in the relational database.
You need to configure and deploy an Analysis Services project to the Analysis Services instance that allows near real-time data source access.
Solution: In the Deployment Option property for the report, you set the Query Mode to DirectQuery with InMemory.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No

You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
The data warehouse has a table named FactStock that is used to track movements of stock.
A column named MovementQuantity contains quantities of stock.
A positive quantity is used for input and negative quantity is used for output.
A column named MovementDate is related to the time dimension.
The quantity in stock, at a given point in time, can be evaluated as the sum of all MovementQuantity values at that point in time.
You need to create a measure that calculates the quantity in stock value.
What should you do?
- A. Add a measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function to an existing measure group.
- B. Create several dimensions. Add each dimension to the cube.
- C. Add a measure that uses the Count aggregate function to an existing measure group.
- D. Create a dimension. Create regular relationships between the cube dimension and the measure group. Configure the relationships to use different dimension attributes.
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You deploy a tabular data model to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). The model uses an in-memory cache to store and query data. The data set is already the same size as the available RAM on the server. Data volumes are likely to continue to increase rapidly.
Your data model contains multiple calculated tables.
The data model must begin processing each day at 2:00 and processing should be complete by
4:00 the same day. You observe that the data processing operation often does not complete before 7:00. This is adversely affecting team members.
You need to improve the performance.
Solution: Change the storage mode for the data model to DirectQuery.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No
