QUESTION 41
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. The cube contains several dimensions, a local measure group, and a linked measure group. Both measure groups use MOLAP partitions. You need to write-enable one of the linked measure group partitions to support Microsoft Excel 2010 PivotTable What-If Analysis. What should you do before the partition can be write- enabled?

A.    Implement the cube as a local cube.
B.    Implement the linked measure group as a local measure group.
C.    Ensure that the measure group measures only use semiadditive aggregation functions.
D.    Ensure that the measure group measures only use nonadditive aggregation functions

Answer: B

QUESTION 31
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 In-Memory query mode
B.    a multidimensional project that uses the MOLAP storage mode and proactive cache
C.    a multidimensional project that uses the ROLAP storage mode and columnstore indexes
D.    a PowerPivot workbook that is deployed to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010
E.    a tabular project that uses the DirectQuery query mode

Answer: ABE
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.

QUESTION 21
Drag and Drop Questions
You have a single SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services (SSAS) instance. You are planning to upgrade the instance to SQL Server 2012. You need to import an existing PowerPivot workbook to create a tabular project. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

Answer:

Explanation:
* To create a new tabular model project from a PowerPivot for Excel file
* When creating a new tabular model project by importing from a PowerPivot workbook, the metadata that defines the structure of the workbook is used to create and define the structure of the tabular model project in SQL Server Data Tools. Objects such as tables, columns, measures, and relationships are retained and will appear in the tabular model project as they are in the PowerPivot workbook.
* Analysis Services provides three different approaches for creating a business intelligence semantic model: tabular, multidimensional, and PowerPivot. Tabular solutions use relational modeling constructs such as tables and relationships for modeling data, and the xVelocity inmemory analytics engine for storing and calculating data
Reference: Import from PowerPivot (SSAS Tabular)

QUESTION 11
You are creating a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. You need to create a time dimension. It must be linked to a measure group named Sales at the day granularity level. It must also be linked to a measure group named Salary at the month granularity level. What should you do?

A.    Use role playing dimensions.
B.    Use the Business Intelligence Wizard to define dimension intelligence.
C.    Add a measure that uses the Count aggregate function to an existing measure group.
D.    Add a measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function to an existing measure group.
E.     Add a measure that uses the LastNonEmpty aggregate function.
Use a regular relationship between the time dimension and the measure group.
F.    Add a measure group that has one measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function.
G.    Add a calculated measure based on an expression that counts members filtered by the Exists and
NonEmpty functions.
H.
    Add a hidden measure that uses the Sum aggregate function.
Add a calculated measure aggregating the measure along the time dimension.
I.    Create several dimensions.
Add each dimension to the cube.
G.    Create a dimension.
Then add a cube dimension and link it several times to the measure group.
K.    Create a dimension.
Create regular relationships between the cube dimension and the measure group.
Configure the relationships to use different dimension attributes.
L.    Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy.
Set the IsAggregatable property to False and then set the DefaultMember property.
Use a regular relationship between the dimension and measure group.
M.    Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy.
Set the IsAggregatable property to False and then set the DefaultMember property.
Use a many-to-many relationship to link the dimension to the measure group.
N.    Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy.
Set the ValueColumn property, set the IsAggregatable property to False, and then set the
DefaultMember property.
Configure the cube dimension so that it does not have a relationship with the measure group.
Add a calculated measure that uses the MemberValue attribute property.
O.    Create a new named calculation in the data source view to calculate a rolling sum.
Add a measure that uses the Max aggregate function based on the named calculation.

QUESTION 1
You are designing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report to display product names and their year-to-date (YTD) sales quantity YTD sales quantity values are classified in three bands: High Sales, Medium Sales, and Low Sales. You add a table to the report. Then you define two columns based on the fields named ProductName and YTDSalesQuantity. You need to set the color of the product text to red, yellow, or blue, depending on the value of the YTD sales quantity values. What should you do?

A.    Use an expression for the TextDecoration property of the text box.
B.    Use an expression for the Style property of the text box.
C.    Add an indicator to the table.
D.    Use an expression for the Font property of the text box.
E.    Use an expression for the Color property of the text box.

Answer: E
