Microsoft Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server - 70-466 Exam Practice Test
DRAG DROP
You are developing reports based on the SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube named ProcessedOrders.
A Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query must include a query-scoped calculated member, which computes average sales per order item. The query must also return the set of three states in a query-scoped named set named East Coast Customers.
You need to define the calculations in an MDX query to meet the requirements.
Which four MDX segments should you insert in sequence before a SELECT statement?
(To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

SELECT
[ChardonnayChablis] ON COLUMNS,
{Measures.[Unit Sales]} ON ROWS
FROM Sales
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.

You are designing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube that contains two measure groups named Sales History and Current Sales.
The Sales History measure group has the following characteristics:
* Data changes on a monthly basis.
* The measure group contains a very high data volume.
* Queries that use the measure group only reference aggregate data.
* The measure group includes SUM, MIN, MAX, and COUNT aggregate functions.
The Current Sales measure group has the following characteristics:
* Data changes frequently.
* The measure group contains a low data volume.
* Queries that use the measure group often reference non-aggregate data.
* The measure group includes SUM, MIN, MAX, and COUNT aggregate functions.
You need to select a storage mode for each measure group. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* For the Sales History measure group, query performance must be optimized over data latency.
* For the Current Sales measure group, data latency must be optimized over query performance.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate storage mode for each measure group in the answer area.

Note:
* In the model designer, in Data View, select the table to which you want to add a calculated column, then click the Column menu, and then click Add Column.
* To create a new calculated columnAdd Column is highlighted over the empty rightmost column, and the cursor moves to the formula bar.
To create a new column between two existing columns, right-click an existing column, and then click Insert Column.
* In the formula bar, do one of the following:
* Press ENTER to accept the formula.
* Calculated columns, in tabular models, allow you to add new data to your model. Instead of pasting or importing values into the column, you create a DAX formula that defines the column's row level values. The calculated column can then be used in a report, PivotTable, or PivotChart as would any other column.
* A calculated column is DAX expression that creates a new column in a table and the obtained values are stored in the table; the calculated column expression is evaluated every time the table is processed.
* In tabular object models the calculated column is a column in a table whose values are calculated upon definition of the column, from an expression.
