Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst — Question 33
You have a PBIX file that imports data from a Microsoft Excel data source stored in a file share on a local network.
You are notified that the Excel data source was moved to a new location.
You need to update the PBIX file to use the new location.
What are three ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Answer options
- A. From the Datasets settings of the Power BI service, configure the data source credentials.
- B. From the Data source settings in Power BI Desktop, configure the file path.
- C. From Current File in Power BI Desktop, configure the Data Load settings.
- D. From Power Query Editor, use the formula bar to configure the file path for the applied step.
- E. From Advanced Editor in Power Query Editor, configure the file path in the M code.
Correct answer: B, D, E
Explanation
Option B is correct because it directly allows the user to update the file path in the Data source settings of Power BI Desktop. Options D and E are also correct as they provide methods to change the file path using the Power Query Editor, either via the formula bar or by modifying the M code in the Advanced Editor. Options A and C do not address changing the file path directly, making them incorrect solutions for this scenario.
