Exam PL-300 topic 4 question 35 discussion

Option A, checked with Chatgpt and Gemini.(both selected A with similar explanation)

C in my opinion

pls correct me if i'm wrong, shouldn't it be C as per "Power BI does not have a monthly refresh interval option. However, you can use Power Automate to create a custom refresh interval that occurs monthly" //https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-scheduled-refresh#scheduled-refresh

Scheduled Refresh: Purpose: Scheduled refresh is used to automate the process of refreshing the dataset on a regular basis, e.g., daily, weekly, monthly. Use Case: You can schedule the refresh to happen automatically on a specific date or time. In your case, you want to refresh the dataset on the first day of each month. This could be done using scheduled refresh

A is the answer : a scheduled refresh. In Power BI, "schedule refresh" means setting a recurring time to automatically refresh all data in a dataset, while "incremental refresh" only updates the new or changed data since the last refresh, allowing for faster updates on large datasets by avoiding unnecessary reloads of the entire data set. ( found on Google)

The answer is correct as you cannot schedule refreshes to be once a month, the refresh frequency can be either daily or weekly. Incremental refresh will refresh the dataset for the last month with new data, the old data will not change.

- a scheduled refresh While incremental refresh can help optimize the refresh process by refreshing only the data that has changed, it does not set the schedule for when the refresh happens. It helps with large datasets by minimizing data reloads, but it doesn’t solve the requirement of scheduling the refresh for the first day of each month.
