What is a Power BI deployment pipeline used for?
Answer: Managing the lifecycle of content across development, test, and production stages
Deployment pipelines provide a structured ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) workflow to promote Power BI content through Dev, Test, and Production stages.
What does the Power BI service 'Lineage view' show?
Answer: A visual map of data sources, dataflows, datasets, reports, and dashboards and their dependencies
Lineage view displays the end-to-end data flow from source to report, showing how content items depend on each other in a workspace.
What is the purpose of 'Sensitivity Labels' in Power BI?
Answer: To classify and protect data by applying Microsoft Information Protection labels to datasets and reports
Sensitivity labels from Microsoft Information Protection can be applied to Power BI content to classify data and enforce protection policies like encryption.
How can Power BI reports be embedded in external websites for non-Power BI users?
Answer: By publishing to the web using 'Publish to web' to generate a public embed code
The 'Publish to web' feature generates a public embed code (iframe/URL) that allows anyone to view the report without a Power BI account.
What is a 'shared dataset' in the Power BI service?
Answer: A dataset published to the service that multiple reports across different workspaces can connect to and reuse
Shared datasets allow multiple reports to connect to a single published dataset, ensuring consistent metrics and reducing duplication across teams.
What does 'incremental refresh' do for a Power BI dataset?
Answer: Refreshes only a portion of data based on date ranges, rather than reloading the entire dataset
Incremental refresh loads only new and updated data for defined date ranges, dramatically reducing refresh times and resource usage for large datasets.
