Power BI & Tableau

Every organisation calls itself 'data-driven'. But the dashboards that steer the business are usually built by one or two people. If they make the wrong choices, the whole organisation takes the wrong decisions. The Power BI & Tableau Assessment measures in multiple-choice questions whether a candidate truly understands data models, calculations and visualisations. For analyst and BI roles where the difference between 'pretty dashboard' and 'correct dashboard' matters.

3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
Beyond the 'looks nice' level
Anyone can drag a chart. The test reveals who picks the right visual for the right question, and who just changes colours.
02
Power BI and Tableau
The two market leaders in one test. Concepts like DAX and Tableau calculations, data models and interactivity. Whether your candidate comes from a Microsoft or Salesforce stack.
03
Real BI choices
The questions are about realistic scenarios: which visual for a trend, how to compare actuals against targets, how to build a report that still works months later.

Information

Three levels

Basic (visual choice, filters), intermediate (calculated fields, modeling) and advanced (DAX, parameters, LOD expressions). Difficulty rises.

Multiple choice, knockout format

No open answers, no subjective grading. Immediately clear who has the basics and who doesn't, so you can move on with the candidates who matter.

Under time pressure

The test has a fixed time limit. Candidates answer as many questions as they can within that time, so you measure not just knowledge but also pace.

Instant insight for the recruiter

After the test the score lands in your dashboard right away. No waiting, no manual review. Decision-ready in an hour.

Measurement
Objectives

The Big Five Personality Model assesses key personality traits that influence behavior and performance:

Green key icon symbolizing security or access.

Data modeling

Relationships, star schemas, fact and dimension tables. The basis under every solid report.

Orange planet with irregular surface markings resembling craters or patches.

Visual & dashboard choice

Line, bar, scatter, treemap. Knowing which visual fits which question, and which ones you should never use.

Orange icon of a plus sign inside a dotted square.

Calculations (DAX & Tableau)

Calculated fields, measures, parameters. From simple percentages to complex time intelligence.

Green thumbs-up icon symbolizing approval or like.

Interactivity & publishing

Filters, drill-downs, slicers, and sharing a dashboard so others can actually use it too.
