The ability to link data tables together to create pivot tables that allow data to be drawn from any and all of the source tables The ability to clean and manipulate large volumes of external data efficiently and to load the result into Microsoft Excel The removal of Microsoft Excel’s restrictions on file sizes and the number of rows of data allowed The ability to visualise data in dashboards and management reports     What is the main feature of Power Pivot? The ability to link data tables together to create pivot tables that allow data to be drawn from any and all of the source tables The ability to clean and manipulate large volumes of external data efficiently and to load the result into Microsoft Excel The removal of Microsoft Excel’s restrictions on file sizes and the number of rows of data allowed The ability to visualise data in dashboards and management reports     Which of the following actions cannot be performed within Power Query? Split text into multiple columns Trimming text and removing spaces Creating calculated columns using DAX functions Make date based calculations   Which of the following statements is true? You can use Power Query to combine files that have the same format and open them all in the same spreadsheet You can use Power Query to link data tables and create pivot tables that pull data items from all the linked tables You can use Power Query to create interactive dashboard reports You can use Power Query to export data files to Microsoft Access and other databases     Which of the following provides a compelling case to use Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel? The data visualisation and presentation features of Power Pivot are much more powerful than those in Excel Power Pivot offers the ability to clean large files of data imported from other systems quickly Existing reports and tables can be “reverse engineered” (unpivoted) to create data tables for more advanced analysis Files sizes in Power Pivot are smaller than in Excel and there is no limit on the number of rows of data that can be stored. This makes it much faster and more efficient to use Power Pivot for large data sets     Power Pivot uses analysis functions from the DAX formula language. What does “DAX” stand for? Digital Architecture Extraction Data Arbitrage Extrapolation Display Analytics Extension Data Analysis Expressions Deeply Annoying Exercise   The DAX CALCULATE function is one of the most powerful and useful functions available in Power Pivot. Which statement best describes it? It performs row by row calculations defined by the user and adds the total of them all together for a specified table It performs row by row calculations defined by the user and displays the maximum result for a specified table It performs a defined calculation and then applies filters specified by the user It filters the data in a specified table according to criteria set by the user   As well as in Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel, in what application are DAX functions also available? Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Forms Microsoft Teams Microsoft Power BI   How do DAX functions differ from Microsoft Excel functions? DAX functions are designed specifically for use with SQL based data sources DAX functions are completely new and provide additional functionality within Microsoft Excel DAX functions never take a cell reference or a range as reference, but instead take a column or table as reference DAX date and time functions return a date as a serial number, whereas Excel date and time functions return a datetime data type
