5. In the Power BI service, how do you add a visual from a report to a dashboard?

Download the visual as an image and upload it to the dashboard.
Copy and paste the visual into the dashboard.
Pin the visual using the ‘Pin’ icon on the top right of the visual. (CORRECT)
Use the “Embed” option on the visual.

That’s correct! You can pin a visual to a dashboard in Power BI service by clicking on the ‘Pin’ icon located at the top right corner of the visual.

6. Which Power BI role allows users to only view content but not modify or delete items from the workspace?

Contributor
Member
Viewer (CORRECT)
Admin

That’s correct! Viewers can only view content and can’t modify or delete it.

7. What is the primary function of Power BI Workspace Apps?

To bundle related Power BI dashboards and reports into a single collection for easier sharing. (CORRECT)

To upgrade the Power BI software version.
To connect with third-party applications only.

That’s correct! Workspace Apps allow users to consolidate and manage related Power BI content, streamlining the distribution process to specific audiences.

SELF-REVIEW: WHAT DID YOU LEARN? 2

1. As described in the activity, what is the recommended authentication method and privacy level setting for a data source when configuring a personal data gateway in Power BI?

Authentication Method: “OAuth 2.0” and Privacy Level Setting: “Private”
Authentication Method: “Anonymous” and Privacy Level Setting: “None”
Authentication Method: “Windows without Impersonation” and Privacy Level Setting: “Organization” (CORRECT)
Authentication Method: “Basic” and Privacy Level Setting: “Public”

That’s correct! When configuring a personal data gateway in Power BI, it is recommended to use “Windows without Impersonation” as the authentication method and set the privacy level to “Organization.” This ensures secure and efficient data access.

2. Question: What is the primary purpose of installing a personal data gateway in Power BI?

To design custom visualizations in Power BI reports.
To create new datasets in Power BI.
To automate the process of refreshing datasets with the latest data. (CORRECT)
To share reports with colleagues within the organization.

That’s correct! One of the primary purposes of installing a personal data gateway in Power BI is to automate the process of refreshing datasets with the latest data, ensuring that reports and dashboards stay up-to-date.

3. Question: What is the key benefit of configuring a scheduled refresh for a dataset in Power BI using a personal data gateway?

To create a backup of the dataset.
To reduce the dataset’s size in Power BI.
To manually refresh the dataset whenever needed.
To ensure that reports and dashboards always display the most up-to-date data. (CORRECT)

That’s correct! Configuring scheduled refresh with a personal data gateway ensures that reports and dashboards always display the most up-to-date data, improving data accuracy and decision-making.

4. Can you set a specific time for scheduled updates every day when configuring a personal data gateway in Power BI?

Yes, you can set a specific time for scheduled updates every day. (CORRECT)
No, scheduled updates can only occur once a week.
Yes, but you can only set a specific time for scheduled updates on weekdays.
No, scheduled updates can only occur once a month.

That’s correct! In the activity, you can set a specific time for scheduled updates every day when configuring a personal data gateway in Power BI, ensuring that your data is refreshed at the desired time.

5. Which of the following statements are true about schedule refresh in Power BI? Select all that apply.

Schedule refresh requires the dataset to be published in Power BI service. (CORRECT)
Schedule refresh is independent of data source location. (CORRECT)
Schedule refresh can only occur once a week.
Schedule refresh requires a cloud data source only

That’s correct! Schedule refresh does require the dataset to be published in Power BI service.

That’s correct. Schedule refresh can be used for both on-premises and cloud-based data sources, depending on the configuration.

6. What is the primary purpose of Power BI’s alert feature?

To receive real-time notifications when data meets certain thresholds. (CORRECT)
