Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals Advanced Practice Exam: Hard Questions 2025

A retail company wants to empower store managers to build apps while IT retains control. They must (1) prevent data from being sent to consumer services like personal email, (2) allow connectors to Microsoft 365 and approved third-party SaaS, and (3) support separate development and production environments. Which approach best meets the requirements with the least risk?

A manufacturing team built a canvas app that writes work orders to Dataverse. After moving the solution to production, users report that a button intermittently fails with a generic error, but only for some users and only when selecting a specific product type. The product type is stored in a related table and security roles differ by site. What is the most likely root cause?

You are designing a model-driven app for a sales organization. They require: (1) business rules that enforce field validation consistently, (2) the ability to change logic without republishing the app frequently, and (3) offline capability for field sales. Which combination best satisfies these requirements?

A company has an existing SharePoint list-based process. They want a Power Apps solution quickly, but the process must later integrate with multiple related entities (Customers, Orders, Returns) and require auditability and role-based security at row level. They want to minimize rework. What is the best initial data platform choice?

A Power Automate cloud flow processes new emails with attachments, extracts data, and creates a Dataverse record. It works in testing but fails in production with an error indicating access to the mailbox is denied. The flow was created using a maker’s connection and then shared with a service account to run. What is the best fix consistent with governance best practices?

A flow loops through 5,000 Dataverse rows daily to update a calculated status field and often hits performance limits. The status can be derived from existing columns and must be queryable for reporting. What redesign is most appropriate?

A company needs an approval process for purchase requests stored in Dataverse. Requirements: (1) approvals must be auditable, (2) approvers vary by amount and department, (3) the request should be locked from edits after submission except for comments, and (4) the process must support re-approval if key fields change. Which design best fits the platform capabilities?

A Power BI report uses DirectQuery to a data source with row-level security (RLS) rules. Users complain that when they apply slicers, visuals sometimes show inconsistent totals compared to an exported summarized table. Which is the most likely explanation?

You are building a Power BI dataset that combines sales from Dataverse and budget from an Excel file. The sales table is large and refresh times are too long. The business needs near-real-time sales (last 30 minutes) but budget can refresh daily. Which design is most appropriate?

A Power Virtual Agents bot answers HR questions. It must: (1) authenticate employees, (2) show personalized data such as remaining vacation balance from Dataverse, and (3) hand off to a human agent with conversation context when the bot’s confidence is low. Which approach best meets the requirements?
