In today’s data-driven world, the demand for effective data analysis and visualization tools has skyrocketed, and Power BI has emerged as a leading solution in the realm of business intelligence. As organizations seek to make data-informed decisions, Power BI’s versatility and user-friendly interface have made it a top choice for professionals across various industries.

For individuals preparing for a Power BI interview, demonstrating a strong grasp of the tool’s functionalities and data manipulation capabilities is essential to stand out from the competition. In this comprehensive blog post, we will delve into the most commonly asked Power BI interview questions and provide insightful answers to help you excel in your interview.

As Power BI interviewers, we value both functional knowledge and strong technical expertise. We aim to ensure that candidates not only understand the concepts but have practical experience working with Power BI. To assess your hands-on experience, we may tweak questions to check the application of concepts.

For instance, we might present a scenario to gauge your practical skills instead of asking a basic question about interactions. For example, we could ask:

“In a Power BI report, you have a page that contains two slicers say- Slicer 1 and Slicer 2. Additionally, there are two Line visuals assuming Line Visual 1 and Line Visual 2 are on the same page. How would you make sure that Slicer 1 only filter Line Visual 1, and Slicer 2 only filter Line Visual 2?”

By presenting such real-world scenarios, we aim to assess your ability to apply Power BI concepts in practical situations. Your response to this question will demonstrate your technical understanding of setting up interactions and will reveal your familiarity with the Power BI interface and functionalities.

Throughout the interview, we may present similar scenarios and technical challenges to further evaluate your expertise. This approach enables us to determine your level of proficiency in Power BI. It ensures that we select candidates who not only possess theoretical knowledge but can also effectively translate that knowledge into real-life projects and reporting tasks.

Organizations encourage you to come prepared with hands-on experience and be ready to showcase your practical skills. Demonstrating your ability to work with Power BI confidently will significantly enhance your chances of excelling in the interview process and becoming a valuable addition to the team.

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

I am preparing for Power BI to work on the project I have been assigned. Through my learning process, I have learned a lot about Power BI and its tools. I just wanted to know- What is the M query language in Power BI? As per this power bi interview questions, M query language is used in the Query Editor but my question is that how can I establish Query Editor in real-time environment? Does Power BI provide the same in itself or do I have to create it. And what is way to fetch data from different resources.

I searched it on many community websites but didn’t get to much info.

I have also gone through this Power Query M formula language reference - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn but it seems to complicated and it may be due to the less experience I have in Power BI.

If you have any knowledge about it kindly let me know, it’ll be highly appreciated.

Thanks
