DP-900 - Describe an Analytics Workload on Azure - Section 4.3

Describe data visualization in Microsoft Power BI including reports, dashboards, and paginated reports.

Describe how Power BI Desktop authors interactive reports published to the Power BI service, and how dashboards pin visuals from multiple reports for at-a-glance monitoring. Distinguish those interactive reports from paginated reports built for pixel-perfect printable output, and recognise dataflows as reusable self-service data preparation.

Power BI Desktop is a Microsoft Windows application in which you import data from a wide range of sources, build an analytics data model, and create reports with interactive visualizations. Is this statement correct?

  • AYes Correct
  • BNo
Power BI Desktop is the Windows authoring tool for importing data, building the model, and creating interactive reports. The grounding describes Power BI Desktop as a Windows application where you import data from many sources, combine and organize it in an analytics data model, and create reports containing interactive visualizations.

Why A is correct: Correct. The grounding describes Power BI Desktop as a Windows application where you import data from many sources, combine and organize it in an analytics data model, and create reports containing interactive visualizations.

Why B is wrong: Answering No would wrongly assign Desktop's authoring role to the cloud service; the service offers only limited modeling and editing, while full authoring happens in Power BI Desktop.
