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 namedMovementQuantity contains quantities of stock. A positive quantity is used
for input and negative quantity is used for output. A column named Movement Date 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?

You are designing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
You need to create a measure to count unique customers.
What should you do?

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?

You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube for the sales department
at your company.
The sales department requires the following set of metrics:
Unique count of customers
Unique count of products sold
Sum of sales
You need to ensure that the cube meets the requirements while optimizing query response
time.
What should you do? (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)

DRAG DROP
You are developing reports based on the SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube
named ProcessedOrders.
A Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query must include a query-scoped calculated
member, which computes average sales per order item. The query must also return the set
of three states in a query-scoped named set named East Coast Customers.
You need to define the calculations in an MDX query to meet the requirements.
Which four MDX segments should you insert in sequence before a SELECT statement? (To
answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange
them in the correct order.)

You work in the Business Intelligence (BI) department of a multinational company.
The company has requested a new corporate BI solution that meets the following
requirements:
The solution must use SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS).
The model must incrementally add 10 million fact rows per month.
The model must be translated to English, French, or Spanish based on users’ locale.
The model must be able to contain the most recent 36 months of data.
You need to select the appropriate model type and partitioning strategy to meet the
requirements.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.)

You are developing a BI Semantic Model (BISM) that will be used to analyze complex
budgeting and forecast data sourced from a financial database. The model will be deployed
to a server with 28 GB of RAM.
The source data, located in a SQL Server data warehouse, is currently using 15 terabytes of
disk space and is doubling in size every month. The model will be queried by staff in the
accounting department by using Microsoft Excel 2010.
You need to ensure the highest query performance and scalability for the accounting
department queries.
Which project type should you choose?

HOTSPOT
You have a database named DB1. DB1 contains three tables named FactSales,
DimCustomer, and DimEmployee. A sample from DimEmployee is shown in the following table.

A sample from DimCustomer is shown in the following table.

A sample from FactSales is shown in the following table.

You create a cube named Sales that uses the three tables. FactSales is used as a fact table,
DimCustomer is used to create a dimension named Customer, and DimEmployee is used to
create a dimension named Employee.
Users report the following issues:

When browsing the Customer dimension, the users see a blank member in the state
hierarchy under United Kingdom.
When browsing the Employee dimension, the sales data for Sales Managers and Sales
Supervisors is NOT displayed.
You need to resolve the issues by configuring the properties of the dimension attributes.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate value for each property in the answer area.

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.
You need to use an appropriate project type.
Which project types should you use? (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose all
that apply.)

HOTSPOT
You are designing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube that contains two measure
groups named Sales History and Current Sales.
The Sales History measure group has the following characteristics:

Data changes on a monthly basis.
The measure group contains a very high data volume.
Queries that use the measure group only reference aggregate data.
The measure group includes SUM, MIN, MAX, and COUNT aggregate functions.
The Current Sales measure group has the following characteristics:
Data changes frequently.
The measure group contains a low data volume.
Queries that use the measure group often reference non-aggregate data.
The measure group includes SUM, MIN, MAX, and COUNT aggregate functions.
You need to select a storage mode for each measure group. The solution must meet the
following requirements:
For the Sales History measure group, query performance must be optimized over data
latency.
For the Current Sales measure group, data latency must be optimized over query
performance.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate storage mode for each measure
group in the answer area.
