* Answer: A. PBIDS * Explanation: - A PBIDS (Power BI Data Source) file stores the connection information for a data source. - When User1 opens the PBIDS file in Power BI Desktop, it automatically connects to the same Azure SQL database, simplifying the setup. - It does not include the data model or visuals—just the connection details. * Why not the others: - XLSX: Excel file, unrelated to Power BI connection setup. - PBIT: Power BI template file (includes model structure and queries, but not data). Useful for sharing report templates, not just connection info. - PBIX: Full Power BI report file (includes data, visuals, and model). Overkill if the goal is only to simplify the connection.
The correct answer is A. PBIDS ✅ Reason: A PBIDS file (Power BI Data Source file) is specifically designed to store data source connection information. When User1 opens it in Power BI Desktop, it automatically launches the “Get Data” experience with the connection details pre-filled — so they just enter credentials and connect. Why not the others? XLSX – Excel file, irrelevant here. PBIT – Power BI Template file (stores model, queries, visuals, but not the actual data). Good for sharing a report structure, but overkill if you just want to share the connection. PBIX – Full Power BI report file (data + visuals). That would give User1 your actual report, not just the connection info.
Answer is A
