Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals PL-900 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the primary purpose of Power Automate Desktop?
- To create chatbots that run on Windows desktops
- To automate tasks on a local computer including legacy applications using robotic process automation (Correct answer)
- To build desktop versions of Power Apps
- To manage Power Platform environments from a desktop client
Correct answer: To automate tasks on a local computer including legacy applications using robotic process automation
Power Automate Desktop enables robotic process automation (RPA) to automate repetitive tasks on a local PC, including interactions with legacy apps that have no API.
Question 2: In Power BI, which visual type is best suited for showing the proportion of individual parts to a whole?
- Line chart
- Pie or donut chart (Correct answer)
- Scatter chart
- Waterfall chart
Correct answer: Pie or donut chart
Pie and donut charts display how individual categories contribute to a total, making them ideal for part-to-whole comparisons.
Question 3: Which Dataverse security concept grants a user access to records they own or that are shared with them, but not all records in the organization?
- Organization-level access
- Business unit-level access
- User-level access (Correct answer)
- Team-level access
Correct answer: User-level access
User-level access (depth) in a Dataverse security role grants rights only to records owned by or explicitly shared with that specific user.
Question 4: A business analyst wants to create a Power BI report but the data is in multiple Excel files with different schemas. Which Power BI feature helps combine and transform this data before analysis?
- Power BI Dataflows
- Power Query Editor (Correct answer)
- DAX Studio
- Power BI Report Server
Correct answer: Power Query Editor
Power Query Editor provides a visual, no-code interface to connect to, combine, and transform data from multiple sources before loading it into a dataset.
Question 5: What type of Power Automate flow is triggered by a set schedule rather than an event?
- Automated cloud flow
- Instant cloud flow
- Scheduled cloud flow (Correct answer)
- Desktop flow
Correct answer: Scheduled cloud flow
Scheduled cloud flows run automatically at a defined time interval (e.g., daily, hourly) rather than waiting for a user action or system event.
Question 6: Which Power Apps form factor is optimized for data-intensive business applications and is driven by a Dataverse data model?
- Canvas app
- Model-driven app (Correct answer)
- Portal app
- Custom page
Correct answer: Model-driven app
Model-driven apps are built around the Dataverse data model and automatically generate UI components like forms, views, and charts based on the data structure.
Question 7: What is 'AI Builder' in the context of Power Platform?
- A tool to design chatbot conversation flows using AI suggestions
- A service that lets makers add pre-built or custom AI models to Power Apps and Power Automate (Correct answer)
- Microsoft's tool for training large language models
- An Azure service for deploying machine learning pipelines
Correct answer: A service that lets makers add pre-built or custom AI models to Power Apps and Power Automate
AI Builder provides pre-built AI capabilities (like form processing, object detection, and sentiment analysis) that makers can add to apps and flows without data science expertise.
