DP-500 Question #35: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You need to store Power BI dataflows in an Azure Storage account. Which two prerequisites are required to support the configuration? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Options

• AThe storage account must be protected by using an Azure Firewall.
• BThe connection must be created by a user that is assigned the Storage Blob Data Owner role.
• CThe storage account must have hierarchical namespace enabled.
• DDataflows must exist already for any directly connected Power BI workspaces.
• EThe storage account must be created in a separate Azure region from the Power BI tenant and workspaces.

Explanation

To store Power BI dataflows in an Azure Storage account, the storage account must have hierarchical namespace enabled, and the user establishing the connection needs the Storage Blob Data Owner role.

Common mistakes.

• A. While Azure Firewall can protect storage accounts, it is not a prerequisite for Power BI dataflow integration with Azure Storage. The integration relies on network access and permissions, not necessarily a firewall requirement.
• D. Dataflows do not need to exist prior to connecting a Power BI workspace to an Azure Data Lake Storage account. The connection is a prerequisite for creating dataflows that store data externally.
• E. Power BI recommends creating the storage account in the same region as the Power BI tenant to minimize latency and data transfer costs, not a separate region.
