You have sales data in a star schema that contains four tables named Sales, Customer, Date, and Product.
The Sales table contains purchase and ship dates.
Most often, you will use the purchase date to analyze the data, but you will analyze the data by both dates independently and together.
You need to design an imported dataset to support the analysis. The solution must minimize the model size and the number of queries against the data source.

You have a Power BI dashboard that monitors the quality of manufacturing processes. The dashboard contains the following elements:
A line chart that shows the number of defective products manufactured by day.
A KPI visual that shows the current daily percentage of defective products manufactured.
You need to be notified when the daily percentage of defective products manufactured exceeds 3%.

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.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Topic 1, Contoso Ltd,
Existing Environment
Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that produces outdoor equipment Contoso has quarterly board meetings for which financial analysts manually prepare Microsoft Excel reports, including profit and loss statements for each of the company's four business units, a company balance sheet, and net income projections for the next quarter.
Data and Sources
Data for the reports comes from three sources. Detailed revenue, cost and expense data comes from an Azure SQL database. Summary balance sheet data comes from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The balance sheet data is not related to the profit and loss results, other than they both relate to dates.
Monthly revenue and expense projections for the next quarter come from a Microsoft SharePoint Online list. Quarterly projections relate to the profit and loss results by using the following shared dimensions: date, business unit, department, and product category.
Net Income Projection Data
Net income projection data is stored in a SharePoint Online list named Projections in the format shown in the following table.

Revenue projections are set at the monthly level and summed to show projections for the quarter.
Balance Sheet Data
The balance sheet data is imported with final balances for each account per month in the format shown in the following table.

There is always a row for each account for each month in the balance sheet data.
Dynamics 365 Business Central Data
Business Central contains a product catalog that shows how products roll up to product categories, which roll up to business units. Revenue data is provided at the date and product level. Expense data is provided at the date and department level.
Business Issues
Historically, it has taken two analysts a week to prepare the reports for the quarterly board meetings. Also, there is usually at least one issue each quarter where a value in a report is wrong because of a bad cell reference in an Excel formula. On occasion, there are conflicting results in the reports because the products and departments that roll up to each business unit are not defined consistently.
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to automate and standardize the quarterly reporting process by using Microsoft Power Bl. The company wants to how long it takes to populate reports to less than two days. The company wants to create common logic for business units, products, and departments to be used across all reports, including, but not limited, to the quarterly reporting for the board.
Technical Requirements
Contoso wants the reports and datasets refreshed with minimal manual effort The company wants to provide a single package of reports to the board that contains custom navigation and links to supplementary information.
Maintenance, including manually updating data and access, must be minimized as much as possible.
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.
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.
Report Requirements
You plan to relate the balance sheet to a standard date table in Power Bl in a many-to-one relationship based on the last day of the month. 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.
Projections must contain a column named RevenueProjection that contains the revenue projection amounts. A relationship must be created from Projections to a table named Date that contains the columns shown in the following table.

The relationships between products and departments to business units must be consistent across all reports.
The board must be able to get the following information from the quarterly reports:
* Revenue trends over time
* Ending balances for each account
* A comparison of expenses versus projections by quarter
* Changes in long-term liabilities from the previous quarter
* A comparison of quarterly revenue versus the same quarter during the prior year
You are modeling data in table named SalesDetail by using Microsoft Power Bl.
You need to provide end users with access to the summary statistics about the SalesDetail dat a. The users require insights on the completeness of the data and the value distributions.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct Answer:

1 - Create a blank query as a data source.
2 - Specify the following query, then close and apply.,,,,
3 - Create a visual for the query table.
You have a folder of monthly transaction extracts.
You plan to create a report to analyze the transaction data.
You receive the following email message: "Hi. I've put 24 files of monthly transaction data onto the shared drive. File Transactions201901.csv through Transactions201912.csv have the latest set of columns, but files Transactions201801.csv to Transactions201812.csv have an older layout without the extra fields needed for analysis. Each file contains 10 to 50 transactions." You get data from the folder and select Combine & Load. The Combine Files dialog box is shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit tab.)

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

You are configuring a Microsoft Power Bl data model to enable users to ask natural language questions by using Q&A.
You have a table named Customer that has the following measure.
Customer Count = DISTINCTCOUNT(Customer[CustomerID])
Users frequently refer to customers as subscribers.
You need to ensure that the users can get a useful result for "subscriber count" by using Q&A. The solution must minimize the size of the model.
