Microsoft Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most

What is the Microsoft 070-466 exam?

The 070-466 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Data Platform (legacy) certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to MCSE: Data Platform, MCSA: SQL Server, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the 070-466 exam, and how much time do I get?

The 070-466 exam contains 40-60 questions to be completed within 120-150. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

What score do I need to pass the 070-466 exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the 070-466 exam is 700 (on a 1000 scale), and the official registration fee is USD 165 (may vary by country). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 186 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Microsoft Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server Sample Questions:

Question 1

You are designing a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube for the sales department at your company.
The sales department has the following requirements for the cube:
* Include a year-over-year (YOY) calculation
* Include a month-over-month (MOM) calculation
You need to ensure that the calculations are implemented in the cube.
Which Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) function should you use?

A. TIMEINTELLIGENCE()
B. UNREGINTERCEPT()
C. PARALLELPERIOD()
D. LASTPERIODS()

Question 2

You need to recommend a solution to meet the requirements for the
ManufacturingIssues.rdl report.
What is the best solution that you should include in the recommendation? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Choose the BEST answer.

A. Add a dataset to the report that uses an ad hoc SQL statement. Configure the dataset to include the parameters required for the different views. Use the default display for the parameters.
B. Add a dataset to the report that uses a stored procedure. Configure the dataset to include the parameters required for the different views. Update each parameter to use a set of values from Report Designer.
C. Add a dataset to the report that uses an ad hoc SQL statement. Configure the dataset to include the parameters required for the different views. Add a dataset for each parameter created. Configure each parameter to use the values in the dataset.
D. Add a dataset to the report that uses an ad hoc SQL statement. Configure the dataset to include the parameters required for the different views. Update each parameter to use a set of values from Report Designer.

Question 3

You are creating a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
You need to create a time dimension. It must be linked to a measure group named Sales at the day granularity level. It must also be linked to a measure group named Salary at the month granularity level.
What should you do?

A. Create a dimension. Then add a cube dimension and link it several times to the measure group.
B. Create several dimensions. Add each dimension to the cube.
C. Add a hidden measure that uses the Sum aggregate function. Add a calculated measure aggregating the measure along the time dimension.
D. Add a measure that uses the Count aggregate function to an existing measure group.
E. Create a dimension. Create regular relationships between the cube dimension and the measure group. Configure the relationships to use different dimension attributes.
F. Use role playing dimensions.
G. Create a new named calculation in the data source view to calculate a rolling sum. Add a measure that uses the Max aggregate function based on the named calculation.
H. Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy. Set the IsAggregatable property to False and then set the DefaultMember property. Use a many-to-many relationship to link the dimension to the measure group.
I. Create a dimension with one attribute hierarchy. Set the ValueColumn property, set the IsAggregatable property to False, and then set the DefaultMember property. Configure the cube dimension so that it does not have a relationship with the measure group. Add a calculated measure that uses the MemberValue attribute property.
J. Use the Business Intelligence Wizard to define dimension intelligence.
