Question1: Business users report that an ephemeral derived table tile on the dashboard is slow.
Information about the dashboard includes:
The dashboard filter is linked to the user attributes.
This tile usually takes approximately 5 minutes to complete running.
Which solution should be used to improve the dashboard load time?

Question2: A developer needs to model out LookML to convert existing reports into Looker. The existing reports are:
Report 1: A report with order and order_items data, which finds the order with the largest total value of the order_item prices.
Report 2: A report with order and order_items data, which finds the order with the largest total number of products ordered.
Report 3: A report with data on every product, whether or not it has been ordered.
Each database table used is updated in real time as orders are made.
How should the developer construct an Explore using the order_items view as the base view?

Question3: A developer is defining the users table within a view file in Looker. The users table will be available as an individual Explore and it will also be joined into other Explores, such as the products Explore. The developer needs to limit the fields visible in the products Explore without affecting the visibility of the fields in the users Explore.
How should the developer meet this requirement?

Question4: A developer would like to add a new dimension of type: yesno for the enabled column in their users table. The column is of type: string in the database and returns yes and no values.
How should the developer define the yesno dimension?
A)

B)

C)

D)

Question5: Users viewing an Explore should be able to view rows of data only where the value of the product.brand column matches the value of the user's company user attribute.
Which access filter should the developer use to meet this requirement?
A)

B)

C)

D)

Question6: A developer has User Specific Time Zones enabled for a Looker instance, but wants to ensure that queries run in Looker are as performant as they can be. The developer wants to add a datatype: date parameter to all dimension_group definitions without time data in a table-based view, so that time conversions don't occur for these fields.
How can the developer determine to which fields this parameter should be applied through SQL Runner?

Question7: Users report that the main dashboard has been slow to show results.
Which two options should the developer evaluate to improve dashboard performance? (Choose two.)

Question8: Users have built a popular dashboard and want to have change management built in for any edits made to the dashboard. The developer sets up version control for the model on which the dashboard is based.
What should the developer build to meet the business requirement?

Question9: A user reports that a query run against the orders Explore takes a long time to run. The query includes only fields from the users view. Data for both views is updated in real time. The developer runs the following query in SQL Runner and quickly receives results:
SELECT * FROM users.
What should the developer do to improve the performance of the query in the Explore?

Question10: A user reports the following SQL error when selecting the discounted sale price field:
ERROR: column "order_items.sale_price"; must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function.
The developer checks the field definition and finds it to be:
measure: discounted_sale_price {
type: number
sql: ${sale_price} * 0.8 ;;
}
The developer also finds the LookML definition of the sale_price field to be:
dimension: sale_price {
type: number
sql: ${TABLE}.sale_price ;;
}
What is the likely cause of the SQL error?

Question11: Two developers are working on adding a new view to a project. Once both developers have finished their work in the view, the changes will be pushed to production.
Where should the developers write the LookML for this view?

Question12: Only users with department attributes of Finance and Executive should be able to access the revenue view. Only users with the value of Executive for the department user attribute should be able to view the total_revenue field.
Given the code snippet below:

How should the required access grants be structured to set up this system of access?

Question13: A developer creates a derived table and wants to add persistence to it. Because the table is not used on a frequent basis, the developer wants the table to be cached for 12 hours, but only when a user has queried it.
Which persistence parameter should be added to the derived table's definition in order to satisfy this use case?

Question14: A developer has created a persistent derived table that tracks new or updated orders and they want to cache the results. The cache should be refreshed whenever some new order is available on the underlying datasource table my tablename or at least every 24 hours.
Which datagroup definition will refresh the cache as expected?
A)

B)

C)

D)

Question15: A LookML developer is creating a new view with 20 dimensions in Development Mode using the Create View from Table functionality. Now users want the developer to add only four dimensions from this new view to an existing Explore.
What can the developer add to the Explore to limit the number of fields from the view that are accessible to the user in the Explore?

Question16: A user reports an error message on an Explore: "Non-unique value/primary key (or sql_distinct_key), value overflow or collision when computing sum".
What should the LookML developer check for in the joined views of the Explore?

Question17: A retail company wants to limit who can see the financial information in their reports to executives and store managers. The LookML Developer creates a user attribute called leadership with the value "000" for executives and "999" for store managers. The developer creates three access grant objects and one dimension:

How should the developer ensure that only authorized users see the data in the Total Revenue dimension?
