Topics of Microsoft 70-466: Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server Exam

Candidates must know the exam topics before they start of preparation. because it will really help them in hitting the core. Our Microsoft 70-466: Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server Exam exam dumps will include the following topics:

1. Build an analysis services multidimensional database (35-40%)

Design dimensions and measures

  • Given a requirement, identify the dimension/measure group relationship that should be selected; design patterns for representing business facts and dimensions (many-to-many relationships); design dimensions to support multiple related measure groups (many related fact tables); handle degenerate dimensions in a cube; identify the attributes for dimensions; identify the measures; aggregation behavior for the measures; build hierarchies; define granularity of dimension relationships

Implement and configure dimensions in a cube

  • Translations, define attribute relationships, implement hierarchies, implement SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) dimensions and cubes, create the Attribute Relationships that should be made for a given set of attributes in a dimension, develop new custom attributes on dimensions, detect possible design flaws in attribute relationships, implement time dimensions in cubes, manage SSAS parent-child dimensions, dimension type

Design a schema to support cube architecture

  • Multidimensional modeling starting from a star schema, relational modeling for a data source view, choose or create a topology, identify the appropriate data types with correct precision and size

Create and configure measures

  • Logically group measures and configure Measure Group Properties, select appropriate aggregation functions, format measures, design the measure group for the correct granularity

Implement a cube

  • Use SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence (SSDT-BI) to build the cube; use SSDT-BI to do non-additive or semi-additive measures in a cube, define measures, specify perspectives, define translations, define dimension usage, define cube-specific dimension properties, define measure groups, implement reference dimensions, implement many-to-many relationships, implement fact relationships, implement role-playing relationships, create and manage linked measure groups and linked dimensions, create actions

Create Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) queries

  • Identify the structures of MDX and the common functions (tuples, sets, TopCount, SCOPE, and more); identify which MDX statement would return the required result; implement a custom MDX or logical solution for a pre-prepared case task; identify the structure of DAX and common functions, including CALCULATE, EVALUATE, and FILTER; identify which DAX query would return the required result

Implement custom logic in a data model

  • Define key performance indicators (KPIs); define calculated members; create relative measures (growth, YoY, same period last year), percentage of total using MDX; named sets; add Time Intelligence; implement ranking and percentile; define MDX script to import partial PowerPivot model

Implement storage design in a multidimensional model

  • Create aggregations, create partitions, storage modes, define proactive caching, manage write-back partitions, implement linked cubes, implement distributed cubes

Select an appropriate model for data analysis

  • Select Tabular versus Multidimensional based on scalability needs, traditional hierarchical, data volume; select appropriate organizational BI, such as corporate BI, and team and personal BI needs and data status

2. Manage, maintain, and troubleshoot a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) database (15-20%)

Analyze data model performance

  • Identify performance consequences of data source view design, optimize performance by changing the design of the cube or dimension, analyze and optimize performances of an MDX/DAX query, optimize queries for huge data sets, optimize MDX in the calculations, performance monitor counters, select appropriate Dynamic Management Views for Analysis Services, analyze and define performance counters, monitor growth of the cache, define and view logging options

Process data models

  • Define processing of tables or partitions for tabular and multidimensional models; define processing of databases, cubes, and dimensions for multidimensional models; select full processing versus incremental processing; define remote processing; define lazy aggregations; automate with Analysis Management Objects (AMO) or XML for Analysis (XMLA); process and manage partitions by using PowerShell

Design a report

  • Select report components (crosstab report, Tablix, design chart, data visualization components), design report templates (Report Definition Language), identify the data source and parameters; design a grouping structure; drill-down reports, drill-through reports; determine if any expressions are required to display data that is not coming directly from the data source

Implement a report layout

  • Formatting; apply conditional formatting; page configuration; implement headers and footers; implement matrixes, table, chart, images, list, indicators, maps, and groupings in reports; use Report Builder to implement a report layout; create a range of reports using different data regions; define custom fields (implementing different parts of the report); implement collections (global collections); define expressions; implement data visualization components; identify report parts; implement group variables and report variables; design for multiple delivery extension formats

Configure authentication and authorization for a reporting solution
