PL-900 Practice Exam 58 — 20 Questions

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. You see a Power Automate flow definition in JSON. What does this flow do?

Accepted Answer

It creates a lead in Dataverse when a new email arrives in the inbox.. Option D is correct because the flow trigger is 'When a new email arrives' (inbox trigger), and the action is 'Create a new lead' in Dataverse. This means the flow automatically creates a lead record in Dataverse whenever a new email arrives in the specified inbox, without requiring any manual intervention.

Answer

It updates a lead record when an email is received.

Answer

It deletes emails after creating leads.

Answer

It sends an email when a new lead is created in Dataverse.

Question 2

Which TWO are benefits of using Microsoft Power Platform for business process automation? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

It reduces development time compared to traditional coding.. Option A is correct because Microsoft Power Platform provides pre-built connectors, templates, and low-code tools like Power Automate and Power Apps that drastically reduce the time required to build business process automation compared to writing code from scratch. This enables rapid development and iteration without the overhead of traditional software development lifecycles.

Answer

It can be used offline without any connectivity.

Answer

It requires no coding skills for any scenario.

Answer

It only works with Microsoft data sources.

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Platform environment uses Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy with this JSON snippet. What is the effect of this policy rule?

Accepted Answer

It blocks all connectors for accounts in Seattle.. The JSON snippet defines a DLP policy rule that applies to the 'Seattle' environment. It sets the connector classification to 'Blocked' for all connectors, meaning no connectors can be used in that environment. Therefore, the correct effect is that all connectors are blocked for accounts in Seattle, making option D correct.

Answer

It requires approval for connectors accessing Seattle accounts.

Answer

It allows all connectors for accounts outside Seattle.

Answer

It classifies connectors as Business for accounts in Seattle.

Question 4

A business analyst wants to create a real-time dashboard showing sales performance from Dynamics 365 Sales data. Which tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct tool for creating real-time dashboards because it is designed specifically for data visualization and business intelligence. It can connect directly to Dynamics 365 Sales data via the Dataverse connector or direct query mode, enabling live, interactive dashboards that refresh automatically as data changes.

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Pages

Answer

Power Automate

Question 5

A small business wants to create a custom app to track inventory without hiring developers. Which Microsoft Power Platform tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Apps. Power Apps is the correct choice because it enables users to build custom applications with low-code or no-code tools, allowing the small business to create an inventory tracking app without hiring professional developers. Power Apps provides pre-built templates and connectors to data sources like SharePoint or SQL Server, making it ideal for rapid app development tailored to specific business needs.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Automate

Question 6

Refer to the exhibit. A Power BI developer creates a DAX measure named 'SalesByRegion' as shown. The measure does not appear in the field list. What is the most likely issue?

Accepted Answer

The expression creates a table, not a scalar measure.. Option A is correct because DAX measures must return a single scalar value (e.g., a number, date, or string) to appear in the Fields list of a Power BI report. The SUMMARIZE function returns a table with rows and columns, not a scalar, so Power BI treats it as a table expression and does not display it as a measure. Measures that return tables can only be used in other DAX expressions or as calculated tables, not directly in visuals.

Answer

The 'Sales' table does not exist.

Answer

The SUMMARIZE function syntax is incorrect.

Answer

The measure name must be enclosed in single quotes.

Question 7

An administrator configures a Power Platform tenant-level policy with the JSON shown. What is the effect of this policy?

Accepted Answer

It restricts all users from accessing any Power Platform environment. The JSON policy sets the 'blocked' property to true for all environments, which effectively denies all users (including admins) access to any Power Platform environment. This is a tenant-level restriction that overrides individual environment permissions, making it impossible for anyone to interact with Power Apps, Power Automate, or Power Virtual Agents within the tenant.

Answer

It allows only admins to manage environments

Answer

It prevents data export from environments

Answer

It blocks all users from creating new environments

Question 8

Refer to the exhibit. You are troubleshooting a Power Automate flow that fails when trying to access an on-premises SQL Server database. The flow uses the SQL connector. Based on the exhibit, what is the most likely cause of the failure?

Accepted Answer

The flow is using the cloud SQL connector without an on-premises data gateway.. The exhibit shows a Power Automate flow using the SQL connector to access an on-premises SQL Server database. The SQL connector in Power Automate is a cloud-based connector that, by default, cannot directly reach on-premises resources. To bridge this gap, an on-premises data gateway must be installed and configured on a machine within the same network as the SQL Server, and the connector must be associated with that gateway. Without this gateway, the flow will fail with a connection error, making option B the correct answer.

Answer

The Office 365 connector is conflicting with the SQL connector.

Answer

The environment type is Production, which restricts access to on-premises data.

Answer

The region 'eastus' does not support on-premises connectivity.

Question 9

A company has multiple Power Platform environments: Development, Test, and Production. They want to ensure that changes to a Power Automate cloud flow are validated before reaching production. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Use solution-aware flows and managed properties in Dev, then import to Test, and finally to Production after testing.. Option A is correct because solution-aware flows support managed properties and allow for structured application lifecycle management (ALM). By exporting the solution from Dev as a managed solution and importing it into Test for validation, then into Production, the company ensures that changes are validated at each stage. This approach prevents direct edits in production and maintains version control.

Answer

Edit the flow directly in the Production environment.

Answer

Create a new flow in Production based on a copy of the Dev flow.

Answer

Export the flow as a ZIP file from Dev and import to Production.

Question 10

Refer to the exhibit. You are analyzing a Power Automate flow definition. The flow is intended to create a new user record in Dataverse and send an email notification when manually triggered or daily at 8 AM. However, when the flow runs on its schedule, it fails because the trigger output 'name' is empty. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The schedule trigger does not provide a 'name' field in its outputs, causing the expression to fail.. Option B is correct because a scheduled trigger in Power Automate does not include a 'name' field in its outputs, whereas a manual trigger (e.g., Power Apps or button) typically does. When the flow runs on its daily 8 AM schedule, the expression referencing trigger outputs 'name' evaluates to empty, causing the subsequent actions to fail. This is a common mismatch between trigger types and expected output schemas.

Answer

The action 'CreateRecord' has an invalid entity name 'Users'.

Answer

The flow is configured to run only on manual trigger, ignoring the schedule.

Answer

The flow does not have permission to create records in Dataverse.

Question 11

You are a Power Platform administrator. A user reports that they cannot create a new environment in the Power Platform admin center. The user has a Power Apps per user plan license. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The user does not have a license that includes environment creation rights, such as Power Apps Plan 2 or Power Automate Plan 2.. Option D is correct because creating environments in the Power Platform admin center requires a license that includes environment creation rights, such as Power Apps Plan 2 or Power Automate Plan 2. The user's Power Apps per user plan license only allows them to use apps and flows, not to create or manage environments. Without the appropriate license, the environment creation option is disabled in the admin center.

Answer

The user does not have access to the Power Platform admin center.

Answer

The user is not a global administrator in Microsoft Entra ID.

Answer

The user has not assigned the license to themselves.

Question 12

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate flow uses the 'Microsoft Forms' connector with this output. Which AI Builder model should be used to categorize this feedback as 'AppFeedback'?

Accepted Answer

Category classification. The 'Category classification' AI Builder model is designed to assign predefined categories to text, such as classifying feedback as 'AppFeedback'. This model uses a custom trained classifier to map input text to specific labels, making it the correct choice for categorizing form responses into distinct categories like 'AppFeedback'.

Answer

Language detection

Answer

Sentiment analysis

Answer

Entity extraction

Question 13

Which THREE of the following are capabilities of AI Builder within Power Platform? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Text recognition (OCR) from images and PDFs.. Option A is correct because AI Builder includes a prebuilt model for text recognition (OCR) that can extract printed and handwritten text from images and PDFs. This capability is part of the AI Builder category of prebuilt models, which are ready to use without requiring custom training.

Answer

Custom machine learning model training from scratch.

Answer

Building custom user interfaces for mobile apps.

Question 14

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Automate flow runs hourly to retrieve new accounts from Dataverse. However, it sometimes misses records created at the exact hour boundary. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The flow runs on a schedule, not triggered by record creation, so it may miss records created between runs.. Option A is correct because the flow is configured to run on a recurring schedule (e.g., every hour), not as an instant trigger on record creation. When a record is created at the exact boundary between two scheduled runs, it may not be captured by the previous run (which already completed) and may not yet exist when the next run begins, especially if the flow uses a filter query based on a timestamp. This is a classic limitation of scheduled polling compared to event-driven triggers like 'When a row is added, modified, or deleted' in Dataverse.

Answer

The accounts table has a security filter that hides records from the flow owner.

Answer

The API connection to Dataverse is not authenticated properly.

Answer

The filter query uses utcNow() which may not be precise across time zones.

Question 15

A marketing department wants to create a dashboard that shows real-time social media sentiment analysis. Which Power Platform tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct tool because it is designed for data visualization and real-time analytics, including the ability to connect to social media APIs (e.g., Twitter, Facebook) via built-in connectors or custom streaming datasets to display sentiment analysis dashboards. It supports real-time data refresh through DirectQuery or streaming datasets, making it ideal for monitoring live social media sentiment.

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Copilot Studio

Question 16

Refer to the exhibit. You are building a Power BI report to analyze sales performance. You create a measure named 'Total Sales' using the DAX expression shown. However, the measure returns a value that is much higher than expected. What is the most likely issue?

Accepted Answer

The measure is using SUMX without an appropriate filter context, leading to incorrect row iteration.. Option B is correct because the DAX expression shown uses SUMX, which iterates over each row of the Sales table and sums the product of Quantity and Price. Without an appropriate filter context (e.g., from a Date table or slicer), SUMX may aggregate over the entire table, including rows that should be excluded, leading to a much higher total than expected. The issue is not a missing relationship but rather the lack of a proper filter context to restrict the rows being iterated.

Answer

The Sales table lacks a relationship to the Date table, causing incorrect time-based calculations.

Answer

The measure is being filtered by a disconnected slicer, causing overfiltering.

Answer

The measure should use DISTINCTCOUNT instead of SUMX to count sales.

Question 17

Refer to the exhibit. You are reviewing an ARM template that creates a Power Platform environment. The deployment fails with an error stating that the 'Microsoft.PowerApps/environments' resource type is not supported in the current subscription. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The Microsoft.PowerApps resource provider is not registered in the subscription.. The error 'resource type is not supported in the current subscription' indicates that the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) deployment cannot find the Microsoft.PowerApps resource provider. This provider must be explicitly registered at the subscription level before any Power Platform environment resources can be created via ARM templates. Without registration, ARM rejects the resource type as unsupported, regardless of other template parameters.

Answer

The environment name parameter contains invalid characters.

Answer

The environmentSku 'Production' is not a valid SKU.

Answer

The location parameter is set to an unsupported region.

Question 18

Your organization wants to create a public-facing website where customers can submit support requests. The website should be built with minimal custom code and integrate with Dataverse. Which Power Platform component should you use?

Accepted Answer

Power Pages. Power Pages is the correct choice because it is a low-code, secure, enterprise-grade platform for creating public-facing websites that integrate directly with Dataverse. It enables external customers to submit support requests without custom code, leveraging built-in authentication, form components, and Dataverse data binding.

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Automate

Question 19

A retail company uses Power BI to monitor sales performance. They notice that the report data refreshes only once daily, but business users need near-real-time insights. What should they recommend?

Accepted Answer

Configure a streaming dataset in Power BI.. Option B is correct because streaming datasets in Power BI are designed for real-time or near-real-time data ingestion, allowing dashboards to update continuously as new data arrives. This directly addresses the requirement for near-real-time insights without relying on scheduled refreshes.

Answer

Export the data to Excel for manual updates.

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow to refresh the dataset every minute.

Answer

Increase the scheduled refresh frequency to every 15 minutes.

Question 20

A Power BI report uses the KQL query shown. What is the purpose of this query?

Accepted Answer

To show total sales per product category for North America in descending order. The KQL query uses the `summarize` operator to group sales data by `ProductCategory` and calculate the total sales amount using `sum(SalesAmount)`. The `where` clause filters for `Region == 'North America'`, and `order by` sorts the aggregated results in descending order. This produces a list of product categories with their total sales for North America, sorted from highest to lowest.

Answer

To list all sales transactions for North America

Answer

To calculate average sales amount by region

Answer

To filter sales data by product category
