PL-900 Practice Test 38 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Which TWO of the following are advantages of using Power BI dashboards over Power BI reports?

Accepted Answer

Dashboards can show data from multiple reports on one page.. Power BI dashboards are designed to consolidate tiles from multiple reports and datasets onto a single page, providing a unified view of key metrics without requiring users to navigate between separate report pages. This cross-report aggregation is a core advantage of dashboards over reports, which are limited to a single dataset per report.

Answer

Dashboards allow users to drill down into details.

Answer

Dashboards can be exported to PDF.

Question 2

A user wants to create an app that allows employees to submit expense reports from their mobile devices. The app should capture photos of receipts and store them. Which type of app is most suitable?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app. Anvas app (D). Canvas apps provide a flexible, mobile-friendly interface with drag-and-drop controls and built-in support for camera integration, making them ideal for capturing receipt photos. Model-driven apps are form-centric and less customizable for unique layouts. Power Apps portals are designed for external users, not internal employees. Power Automate is a workflow automation tool, not an app type.

Answer

Model-driven app

Answer

Power Apps portal

Answer

Power Automate flow

Question 3

Which THREE of the following are capabilities of Power Virtual Agents? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Use prebuilt templates for common scenarios. Power Virtual Agents provides a library of prebuilt templates for common chatbot scenarios, such as customer support or FAQ handling, which accelerates development by offering starter content and dialog structures. These templates are designed to be customized, allowing creators to quickly build functional bots without starting from scratch.

Answer

Generate interactive reports from conversation data

Answer

Automate complex workflows with conditions

Question 4

Which TWO actions can be used to add conditional logic in a Power Automate flow?

Accepted Answer

Switch. A is correct because the Switch action in Power Automate evaluates a single value (e.g., a variable or output from a previous step) against multiple possible cases, executing different sets of actions based on which case matches. This is a direct form of conditional logic, similar to a switch/case statement in programming, allowing branching without nested conditions.

Answer

Do until

Answer

Parallel branch

Answer

Apply to each

Question 5

A non-profit organization needs to collect feedback from event attendees via a form that automatically populates a SharePoint list. Which Power Platform component should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Apps (canvas app). The requirement is to collect feedback via a form that automatically populates a SharePoint list. Power Apps (canvas app) is the correct component because it allows building custom forms that can directly write data to a SharePoint list. Power Virtual Agents is a chatbot platform, not a form builder, so it is not suitable. Power Automate can automate workflows but does not provide a user-facing form interface, and Power BI is for analytics.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power BI

Question 6

The exhibit shows a PowerShell command and its output. What does the EnvironmentState value indicate?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Which TWO benefits does Power Platform offer to organizations? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Provides seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure. Power Platform is designed to integrate deeply with Microsoft 365 and Azure, allowing organizations to extend their existing investments. For example, Power Apps can use Microsoft 365 data (like SharePoint lists or Outlook contacts) and Azure services (such as Azure Functions or Logic Apps) as connectors, enabling seamless workflows and data sharing without custom middleware.

Answer

Question 8

Which TWO are benefits of using Power BI for business analytics? (Select two.)

Accepted Answer

Visualize data through interactive dashboards. Power BI's core value is transforming raw data into interactive, visual dashboards that allow users to explore trends, drill down into details, and share insights across the organization. This capability directly supports business analytics by making data accessible and actionable without requiring technical expertise.

Answer

Automate code deployment

Answer

Connect to a single data source only

Answer

Create chatbots for customer service

Question 9

Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Power Apps that help organizations build custom business applications without writing traditional code?

Accepted Answer

Integration with Common Data Service (Microsoft Dataverse). Power Apps integrates directly with Microsoft Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service), which provides a secure, scalable data platform for storing and managing business data. This integration allows users to build apps that leverage Dataverse’s built-in business logic, security roles, and relationships without writing custom code. Option B is correct because Power Apps offers a library of pre-built templates (e.g., for expense reports, asset management) that can be customized to fit specific business needs, enabling rapid application development with minimal technical effort.

Answer

Natural language processing to create conversational bots

Answer

Automated workflows triggered by business events

Answer

Real-time data dashboards with drill-down analytics

Question 10

A Power Platform administrator notices that a production environment has exceeded its storage quota. The administrator needs to free up storage without impacting active solutions. Which action should the administrator take first?

Accepted Answer

Analyze storage by entity and delete unused custom tables. Analyzing storage by entity allows the administrator to identify which custom tables consume the most space, and deleting unused custom tables directly frees up storage without affecting active solutions. This is the recommended first step in the Power Platform admin center, as it targets the root cause of storage overage while preserving production functionality.

Answer

Increase the storage quota

Answer

Remove the environment and create a new one

Answer

Delete all audit logs older than 30 days

Question 11

A user wants to create a flow that automatically sends a thank-you email when a customer fills out a Microsoft Forms survey. Which trigger should the user select?

Accepted Answer

When a new response is submitted. The correct trigger is 'When a new response is submitted' because it is the standard Microsoft Forms connector trigger that fires immediately when a survey response is submitted. This trigger is specifically designed for Microsoft Forms (not Forms Pro) and provides the response data needed to send a personalized thank-you email via Power Automate.

Answer

When a response is submitted (Forms Pro)

Answer

When an item is created or modified

Answer

When a new email arrives

Question 12

A company is deploying Power Virtual Agents (now Copilot Studio) chatbots across multiple departments. Each department needs its own environment to manage chatbots independently. However, the company wants to share a common set of entities and workflows across all environments. Which approach should the administrator take?

Accepted Answer

Create a separate environment per department and deploy managed solutions containing the common components. Managed solutions allow you to package common components (entities, workflows) and deploy them to multiple environments, ensuring consistency while maintaining departmental isolation. Each department gets its own environment for independent chatbot management, and the shared components are installed via managed solutions that cannot be modified, preserving the common baseline.

Answer

Create a single environment for all departments and use security roles to isolate chatbots

Answer

Use Power Apps component library to share components across environments

Answer

Create a shared environment for common components and link each department environment to it

Question 13

A company wants to create a dashboard that shows real-time sales data from their ERP system and allows managers to drill down into individual transactions. Which Power Platform component should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct choice because it is designed for data visualization and business intelligence, enabling real-time dashboards with drill-through capabilities. It can connect directly to an ERP system via connectors or DirectQuery to display live sales data, and managers can use the drill-down feature to navigate from summary metrics to individual transaction details.

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

AI Builder

Question 14

A Power Pages site needs to display a map showing the locations of company offices stored in Dataverse. Which component should be used to embed the map?

Accepted Answer

A custom JavaScript component using a mapping API. Power Pages supports embedding custom code like JavaScript map APIs. Option B is wrong because Power Automate can trigger actions but not display a map. Option C is wrong because Power Virtual Agents is for chatbots. Option D is wrong because Power BI can embed reports but not directly a map from Dataverse coordinates.

Answer

A Power Automate flow that generates an image

Answer

A Power Virtual Agents chatbot

Answer

A Power BI report embedded in the page

Question 15

A Power BI report uses a calculated column that shows [Sales Amount] * 1.1. Users notice the column shows incorrect values after a data refresh. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The DAX formula was edited to multiply by 1.2 instead of 1.1. If the DAX formula was edited to multiply by 1.2 instead of 1.1, the calculated column would produce values 9.09% higher than expected after the refresh. This directly explains the discrepancy users observe, as calculated columns are recomputed during data refresh based on the current formula definition.

Answer

The dataset was refreshed in Import mode instead of DirectQuery

Answer

The data type of 'Sales Amount' changed from decimal to integer

Answer

The source column name changed from 'Sales Amount' to 'SalesAmt'
