Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You deploy a tabular data model to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). The model uses an in-memory cache to store and query data.
The data set is already the same size as the available RAM on the server. Data volumes are likely to continue to increase rapidly.
Your data model contains multiple calculated tables.
The data model must begin processing each day at 2:00 and processing should be complete by
4:00 the same day.
You observe that the data processing operation often does not complete before 7:00. This is adversely affecting team members.
You need to improve the performance.
Solution: Enable Buffer Cache Extensions.
Does the solution meet the goal?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Drag and Drop Question
You are a business analyst for a retail company that uses a Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional database to track sales.
The database contains the following objects:

Your company is developing a promotional plaque to recognize the top resellers in the top 10 cities where the company does business. Each plaque must display the sales total for all resellers in the city. In addition, the plaque must display a total for all cities not in the top 10.

How should you complete the MDX statement? To answer, drag the appropriate MDX segments to the correct locations. Each MDX segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

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 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.
• B. Add a measure group that has one measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function
• C. Add a measure that uses the DistinctCount aggregate function to an existing measure group.
• D. 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.
