Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst — Question 73

You use Power BI Desktop to create a report named RPT1 that loads data from a Microsoft Excel file named File1. File1 is located in a network share.

File1 is moved to a different folder.

When you open RPT1 in Power BI Desktop, you discover that the report displays outdated data.

You need to ensure that the data in File1 refreshes properly.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Change the data source.
• B. Clear the permissions of File1.
• C. Export a PBIDS file.
• D. Modify the permissions for File1.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because changing the data source in Power BI Desktop will allow you to point to the new location of File1, ensuring that the report reflects the most current data. The other options do not address the issue of updating the data source, as clearing or modifying permissions would not change the location from which the report retrieves data, and exporting a PBIDS file is unrelated to refreshing the data in this context.
