Which data access strategy should you use?
You are planning to develop a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project. The project will be deployed to a SSAS server that has 16 GB of RAM.
The project will source data from a SQL Server database that contains a fact table named Sales. The fact table has more than 60 billion rows of data.
You need to select an appropriate design to maximize query performance.

You need to hide the tables and columns
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular project.
A model contains tables and columns that must not be visible to the user. The columns and tables cannot be removed because they are used in calculations.

You are working with multiple tabular models deployed on a single SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance.
You need to ascertain the memory consumed by each object in the SSAS instance.

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?
You need to implement a time dimension
You are developing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional database. The underlying data source does not have a time dimension table.

You are developing a multidimensional project that includes a dimension named Organization. The dimension is based on the DimOrganization table in the data
warehouse. The following diagram illustrates the table design.
The Organization dimension includes a parent-child hierarchy named Organizations. The dimension includes the following dimension attributes:
– Organization, which is a key attribute
– Organizations, which defines the parent-child hierarchy
– Currency Code, which is a regular attribute
– PercentageOfOwnership, which is a regular attribute
When users browse the dimension, four hierarchies are visible to them.
You need to ensure that the Organization and PercentageOfOwnership hierarchies are not visible to users.

You are modifying a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
Users of the cube report that the precision for the SalesAmount measure is four digits. You need to ensure that the SalesAmount measure stores values to two
digits of precision.

Which project types should you use?
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 type should you choose?
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.

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.
