01 · THE PREPARATION METHOD

Study with the discipline of a university seminar.

This guide is organised around the way strong candidates prepare: understand the concept, explain the reasoning, connect it to a practical situation, and communicate the answer clearly.

“The goal is not to memorise more. The goal is to answer with structure, accuracy, and confidence.”

02 · CURRICULUM

A complete preparation syllabus.

Core concepts, practical scenarios, and interview communication—arranged for focused revision rather than random browsing.

I

Power BI foundations

Desktop, Service, semantic models, reports, dashboards, workspaces, and the end-to-end BI workflow.

II

Data modelling

Star schema, relationships, cardinality, filter direction, dimensions, facts, and model design decisions.

III

DAX reasoning

Measures, calculated columns, row context, filter context, CALCULATE, iterators, and time intelligence.

IV

Power Query

Data types, transformations, query folding, parameters, error handling, and repeatable ETL preparation.

V

Performance & security

Model size, Performance Analyzer, DAX optimisation, incremental refresh, RLS, and deployment controls.

VI

Project discussion

Requirements, KPI definitions, stakeholder decisions, validation, publishing, refresh, and production support.

03 · SAMPLE TUTORIAL

See how one strong answer is built.

Select a question to move from interviewer intent to a concise, defensible response.

01

Measure vs calculated column?

HIGH-VALUE QUESTION
WHAT THE INTERVIEWER EVALUATES

Whether you understand storage, evaluation time, and the difference between row and filter context.

ANSWER STRUCTURE

Define when each is calculated → compare storage → give a business use case.

MODEL ANSWER

A calculated column is evaluated row by row during data refresh and stored in the model. A measure is calculated at query time according to the current filter context. I use columns for stable row-level attributes such as a category, and measures for dynamic results such as total sales, margin, or year-to-date values.
