Designing and Implementing Enterprise-Scale Analytics Using Microsoft Azure and Power BI — Question 67

You have a Power BI data model.
You need to refresh the data from the source every 15 minutes.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Configure a scheduled refresh.
• B. Change the storage mode of the dataset.
• C. Enable the XMLA endpoint.
• D. Define an incremental refresh policy.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because enabling the XMLA endpoint allows for programmatic access to the model, which is necessary for frequent data refreshes. The other options do not directly facilitate the capability to refresh the data every 15 minutes; scheduled refreshes and incremental policies are contingent upon the XMLA endpoint being enabled first.
