✅ Power BI Scenario-Based Questions 📊⚡
🧮 Scenario 1: Measure vs. Calculated Column
Question: You need to create a new column to categorize sales as “High” or “Low” based on a threshold. Would you use a calculated column or a measure? Why?
Answer: I would use a calculated column because the categorization is row-level logic and needs to be stored in the data model for filtering and visual grouping. Measures are better suited for aggregations and calculations on summarized data.
🔁 Scenario 2: Handling Data from Multiple Sources
Question: How would you combine data from Excel, SQL Server, and a web API into a single Power BI report?
Answer: I’d use Power Query to connect to each data source and perform necessary transformations. Then, I’d establish relationships in the data model using the Manage Relationships pane. I’d ensure consistent data types and structure before building visuals that integrate insights across all sources.
🔐 Scenario 3: Row-Level Security
Question: How would you ensure that different departments only see data relevant to them in a Power BI report?
×Answer:× I’d implement ×Row-Level Security (RLS)× by defining roles in Power BI Desktop using DAX filters (e.g., [Department] = USERNAME()), then publish the report to the Power BI Service and assign users to the appropriate roles.
📉 Scenario 4: Reducing Dataset Size
Question: Your Power BI model is too large and hitting performance limits. What would you do?
Answer: I’d remove unused columns, reduce granularity where possible, and switch to star schema modeling. I might also aggregate large tables, optimize DAX, and disable auto date/time features to save space.

✅ Data Analysts in Your 20s – Avoid This Career Trap 🚫📊
Don't fall for the passive learning illusion!
🎯 The Trap? → Passive Learning
It feels like you're making progress… but you’re not.
🔍 Example:
You spend hours:
👉 Watching SQL tutorials on YouTube
👉 Saving Excel shortcut threads
👉 Browsing dashboards on LinkedIn
👉 Enrolling in 3 new courses
At day’s end — you feel productive.
But 2 weeks later?
❌ No SQL written from scratch
❌ No real dashboard built
❌ No insights extracted from raw data
That’s passive learning — absorbing, but not applying.
It creates false confidence and delays actual growth.
🛠️ How to Fix It:
1️⃣ Learn by doing: Pick real datasets (Kaggle, public APIs)
2️⃣ Build projects: Sales dashboard, churn analysis, etc.
3️⃣ Write insights: Explain findings like you're presenting to a manager
4️⃣ Get feedback: Share work on GitHub or LinkedIn
5️⃣ Fail fast: Debug bad queries, wrong charts, messy data
📌 In your 20s, focus on building data instincts — not collecting certificates.
Stop binge-learning.
Start project-building.
Start explaining insights.
That’s how analysts grow fast in the real world. 📈

You’re not a failure as a data analyst if:
• It takes you more than two months to land a job (remove the time expectation!)
• Complex concepts don’t immediately sink in
• You use Google/YouTube daily on the job (this is a sign you’re successful, actually)
• You don’t make as much money as others in the field
• You don’t code in 12 different languages (SQL is all you need. Add Python later if you want.)

Interviewer: Show me top 3 highest-paid employees per department.
Me: Sure, let’s use ROW_NUMBER() for this!
✅ I used a window function to rank employees by salary within each department.
Then filtered the top 3 using a subquery.
🧠 Key Concepts:
- ROW_NUMBER()
- PARTITION BY → resets ranking per department
- ORDER BY → sorts by salary (highest first)
📝 Real-World Tip:
These kinds of queries help answer questions like:
– Who are the top earners by team?
– Which stores have the best sales staff?
– What are the top-performing products per category?
