You have a Microsoft Teams Phone deployment that uses Direct Routing. You plan to use Microsoft Power BI to analyze Call Quality Dashboard (CQD) data for the deployment. You download the CQD PSTN…

Question

Options

• APublish the template to the Power BI service.
• BFrom Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard, download the current Tenant Data Upload file.
• CInstall the Power BI Connector for CQD.
• DInstall the Microsoft Power Platform connector.

Explanation

Installing the Power BI Connector for CQD (option C) is the required first step because the .pbit template file connects to CQD data using this specific connector - without it, Power BI Desktop has no mechanism to authenticate and retrieve data from the CQD data source, so the template cannot function at all.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Publish to Power BI service) - You can't meaningfully publish a template that hasn't been connected to its data source yet; publishing comes after the data connection is configured.
• B (Download Tenant Data Upload file) - Tenant Data Upload files enrich CQD with building/subnet mapping data, but that's an optional enhancement step, not a prerequisite for opening and using the PSTN Direct Routing template.
• D (Microsoft Power Platform connector) - This is a different connector used for Dataverse/Power Apps integration; it has no role in CQD data retrieval.

Memory tip: Think of it as "plug before play" - the CQD connector is the plug that connects Power BI Desktop to the CQD data source. You must install the plug before the template (the "player") can do anything useful.
