Power BI skill signals
Evaluate the complete business intelligence workflow
Measure how candidates connect data, clean and transform datasets, create reliable models, write DAX calculations, design reports, publish content, and optimise analytics solutions.
Move beyond theoretical reporting questions.
Evaluate practical Power BI capability through data scenarios, modelling decisions, DAX challenges, dashboard design tasks, publishing questions, and structured scoring.
Data connection and Power Query
Evaluate data sources, query steps, filtering, merging, appending, parameters, data types, error handling, and refresh.
Data transformation and quality
Test cleaning, shaping, pivoting, grouping, conditional columns, missing values, profiling, and reusable query logic.
Data modelling and relationships
Review star schemas, fact and dimension tables, relationships, cardinality, filter direction, keys, and model design.
DAX measures and calculations
Assess measures, calculated columns, filter context, row context, CALCULATE, iterators, time intelligence, and totals.
Reports, visuals and user experience
Measure chart selection, formatting, slicers, drill-through, tooltips, bookmarks, navigation, accessibility, and storytelling.
Publishing, security and optimisation
Evaluate workspaces, gateways, refresh schedules, row-level security, sharing, deployment, performance, and governance.
Analytics workflow
Follow the Power BI report development lifecycle
Evaluate candidate knowledge from connecting raw data through transformation, modelling, analysis, visualisation, and secure business distribution.
Connect
Select data sources, configure credentials, and establish reliable data connections.
Transform
Clean, reshape, combine, validate, and prepare datasets through Power Query.
Model
Create relationships, fact tables, dimensions, hierarchies, and efficient schemas.
Visualise
