Box 2: Single
For One-to-many relationships, the cross filter direction is always from the "one" side, and optionally from the "many" side (bi-directional). For
Single cross filter direction means "single direction", and Both means "both directions". A relationship that filters in both directions is commonly described as bi-directional.

- Date[Month] in the mmyyyy format
- Date[Date_ID] in the ddmmyyyy format
- Date[Date_name] in the mm/dd/yyyy format

Which type of calculation and which formula should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
"The analysts responsible for each business unit must see all the data the board sees, except the profit and loss data, which must be restricted to only their business unit's data. The analysts must be able to build new reports from the dataset that contains the profit and loss data" => one dataset and two separate workspaces Reason: All data can be imported into one dataset also if these are two logical models. Shared dimensions can be reconsumed in both models. Reports and additional materials can be shared to the board with an app. The "profit and loss" data model needs RLS for the analysts and the analysts must have just read access to the original workspace. In a separate workspace with contributer (or more rights) they can create new reports (with live connection to the dataset). It is also stated that the new reports mustn't be shared so therefore no need to include them into the app. Import vs. DirectQuery: Due to RLS requirements an imported dataset is needed. It is not possible with file sources and Sharepoint lists.
Questions 40
How should you distribute the reports to the board? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
The company wants to provide a single package of reports to the board that contains custom navigation and links to supplementary information.
Note: Workspace is a shared environment for a group of people. You can have multiple Power BI content in a workspace. One workspace can have hundreds of dashboards, reports, and datasets in it.
Box 2: A mail-enabled security group
Scenario: Security Requirements
The reports must be made available to the board from powerbi.com. A mail-enabled security group will be used to share information with the board.
Questions 41
Which DAX expression should you use to get the ending balances in the balance sheet reports?
Scenario: At least one of the balance sheet reports in the quarterly reporting package must show the ending balances for the quarter, as well as for the previous quarter.
DATESQTD returns a table that contains a column of the dates for the quarter to date, in the current context.
You need to recommend a strategy to consistently define the business unit, department, and product category data and make the data usable across reports.
What should you recommend?
Options:
A.
Create a shared dataset for each standardized entity.
B.
Create dataflows for the standardized data and make the dataflows available for use in all imported datasets.
C.
For every report, create and use a single shared dataset that contains the standardized data.
D.
For the three entities, create exports of the data from the Power Bl model to Excel and store the data in Microsoft OneDrive for others to use as a source.
The Viewer role gives a read-only experience to its users. They can view dashboards, reports, or workbooks in the workspace, but can’t browse the datasets or dataflows. Use the Viewer role wherever you would previously use a classic workspace set to “Members can only view Power BI content”.
Box 2: Build
The analysts must be able to build new reports from the dataset that contains the profit and loss data.
Scenario: The reports must be made available to the board from powerbi.com.
The analysts responsible for each business unit must see all the data the board sees, except the profit and loss data, which must be restricted to only their business unit's data. The analysts must be able to build new reports from the dataset that contains the profit and loss data, but any reports that the analysts build must not be included in the quarterly reports for the board. The analysts must not be able to share the quarterly reports with anyone.
You need to create a DAX measure in the data model that only allows users to see projections at the appropriate levels of granularity.
How should you complete the measure? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Scenario: Revenue projections are set at the monthly level and summed to show projections for the quarter.
Box 1: IF
Box 2: ISFILTERED
ISFILTERED returns TRUE when columnName is being filtered directly. If there is no filter on the column or if the filtering happens because a different column in the same table or in a related table is being filtered then the function returns FALSE.
You need to design the data model and the relationships for the Customer Details worksheet and the Orders table by using Power BI. The solution must meet the report requirements.
For each of the following statement, select Yes if the statement is true, Otherwise, select No.
Scenario: The Top Customers report will show the top 20 customers based on the highest sales amounts in a selected order month or quarter, product category, and sales region.
Once you drag to SKU to Visual level filter you should get Top N option
Note: The two most common filter types: automatic and manual.
Then there are more advanced filters.
Box 2: Visual
Once you drag to SKU to Visual level filter you should get Top N option.
Scenario: The On-Time Shipping report will show the following metrics for a selected shipping month or quarter:
The percentage of orders that were shipped late by country and shipping region
Customers that had multiple late shipments during the last quarter
Note: Bar and column charts are some of the most widely used visualization charts in Power BI. They can be used for one or multiple categories. Both these chart types represent data with rectangular bars, where the size of the bar is proportional to the magnitude of data values.
The difference between the two is that if the rectangles are stacked horizontally, it is called a bar chart. If the rectangles are vertically aligned, it is called a column chart.
You need to design the data model to meet the report requirements.
What should you do in Power BI Desktop?
Options:
A.
From Power Query, use a DAX expression to add columns to the Orders table to calculate the calendar quarter of the OrderDate column, the calendar month of the OrderDate column, the calendar quarter of the ShippedDate column, and the calendar month of the ShippedDate column.
B.
From Power Query, add columns to the Orders table to calculate the calendar quarter and the calendar month of the OrderDate column.
C.
From Power Bl Desktop, use the Auto date/time option when creating the reports.
D.
From Power Query, add a date table. Create an active relationship to the OrderDate column in the Orders table and an inactive relationship to the ShippedDate column in the Orders table.
Use Power Query to calculate calendar quarter and calendar month.
Scenario:
A single dataset must support all three reports:
- The Top Customers report will show the top 20 customers based on the highest sales amounts in a selected order month or quarter, product category, and sales region.
- The Top Products report will show the top 20 products based on the highest sales amounts sold in a selected order month or quarter, sales region, and product category.
The data model must minimize the size of the dataset as much as possible, while meeting the report requirements and the technical requirements.
