Scenario based  Interview Questions & Answers for Data Analyst

1. Scenario: You are working on a SQL database that stores customer information. The database has a table called "Orders" that contains order details. Your task is to write a SQL query to retrieve the total number of orders placed by each customer.
  Question:
  - Write a SQL query to find the total number of orders placed by each customer.
Expected Answer:
    SELECT CustomerID, COUNT(*) AS TotalOrders
    FROM Orders
    GROUP BY CustomerID;

2. Scenario: You are working on a SQL database that stores employee information. The database has a table called "Employees" that contains employee details. Your task is to write a SQL query to retrieve the names of all employees who have been with the company for more than 5 years.
  Question:
  - Write a SQL query to find the names of employees who have been with the company for more than 5 years.
Expected Answer:
    SELECT Name
    FROM Employees
    WHERE DATEDIFF(year, HireDate, GETDATE()) > 5;

Power BI Scenario-Based Questions

1. Scenario: You have been given a dataset in Power BI that contains sales data for a company. Your task is to create a report that shows the total sales by product category and region.
    Expected Answer:
    - Load the dataset into Power BI.
    - Create relationships if necessary.
    - Use the "Fields" pane to select the necessary fields (Product Category, Region, Sales).
    - Drag these fields into the "Values" area of a new visualization (e.g., a table or bar chart).
    - Use the "Filters" pane to filter data as needed.
    - Format the visualization to enhance clarity and readability.

2. Scenario: You have been asked to create a Power BI dashboard that displays real-time stock prices for a set of companies. The stock prices are available through an API.
  Expected Answer:
    - Use Power BI Desktop to connect to the API.
    - Go to "Get Data" > "Web" and enter the API URL.
    - Configure the data refresh settings to ensure real-time updates (e.g., setting up a scheduled refresh or using DirectQuery if supported).
    - Create visualizations using the imported data.
    - Publish the report to the Power BI service and set up a data gateway if needed for continuous refresh.

3. Scenario: You have been given a Power BI report that contains multiple visualizations. The report is taking a long time to load and is impacting the performance of the application.
    Expected Answer:
    - Analyze the current performance using Performance Analyzer.
    - Optimize data model by reducing the number of columns and rows, and removing unnecessary calculations.
    - Use aggregated tables to pre-compute results.
    - Simplify DAX calculations.
    - Optimize visualizations by reducing the number of visuals per page and avoiding complex custom visuals.
    - Ensure proper indexing on the data source.
