Read the first 6 Power BI Integration and Data Visualization flashcards as text
What type of Power BI visual would you use to show how a value changes over time?
Answer: Line chart
Line charts plot data points along a continuous time axis, making them ideal for visualizing trends, growth rates, and temporal patterns.
In Power BI, what does the 'Analyze in Excel' feature do?
Answer: Allows users to connect a Power BI dataset to Excel as a live PivotTable data source for ad-hoc analysis
'Analyze in Excel' opens a live connection to the Power BI dataset in Excel, enabling users to create PivotTables and PivotCharts against the Power BI data model.
What is the purpose of 'bookmarks' in Power BI reports?
Answer: To capture the current state of a report page (filters, visuals, slicers) and navigate to it later or use it for storytelling
Bookmarks save the visual state of a page — including applied filters, slicer values, and visual visibility — enabling guided navigation stories or one-click view resets.
In Power BI, what is 'incremental refresh'?
Answer: A policy that refreshes only new or changed data rows rather than the entire dataset, reducing refresh time and resource usage
Incremental refresh policies define a rolling window of data to update, archiving historical data while only re-querying recent changes, significantly improving refresh performance.
What does a Power BI 'KPI visual' display?
Answer: A metric value compared to a target goal with a trend indicator showing progress over time
KPI visuals show an actual value, a target value, and a trend sparkline, making it easy to assess whether a metric is on track at a glance.
In Power BI service, what is a 'dataflow'?
Answer: A reusable Power Query ETL process stored in the service that extracts and transforms data into Common Data Model entities for multiple datasets to consume
Dataflows allow makers to centralize data preparation logic in Power BI service so multiple reports and datasets can reuse the same transformed tables without duplicating Power Query steps.
