Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have a Power BI report that imports a date table and a sales table from an Azure SQL database data source. The sales table has the following date foreign keys:
Due Date
Order Date
Delivery Date
You need to support the analysis of sales over time based on all the date foreign keys.
Solution: For each date foreign key, you add inactive relationships between the sales table and the date table.
Does this meet the goal?
b
Instead: Solution: From the Fields pane, you rename the date table as Due Date. You use a DAX expression to create Order Date and Delivery Date as calculated tables.

DRAG DROP You have a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet named Excel1 that contains survey results.
You have a Power BI dashboard named DashboardA that has Q&A enabled.
You need to ensure that users who can access DashboardA can ask questions based on the contents of Excel1 and pin visuals based on their queries to
DashboardA. The solution must minimize development time.
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.

None
Step 1: From powerbi.com, upload Excel1.
Upload your Excel file to the Power BI service.
The Power BI service connects to many data sources, including Excel files that live on your computer.
1. Sign in to the Power BI service.
2. In My workspace, select New > Upload a file.
3. Select Local File, browse to where you saved the Financial Sample Excel file, and select Open.
4. On the Local File page, select Import.
Now you have a Financial Sample dataset. Power BI also automatically created a blank dashboard. If you don't see the dashboard, refresh your browser.
Step 2: From powerbi.com, import Excel1 as a dataset.
Step 3: From powerbi.com, add a tile for the Excel1 dataset to DashboarA.

You publish a dataset that contains data from an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database.
The dataset must be refreshed daily.
You need to ensure that the Power BI service can connect to the database and refresh the dataset.
Which four 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.
None
You need to create the relationship between the product list and the revenue results. The solution must minimize the time it takes to render visuals.
What should you set as the relationship cardinality?
d
One product in the product list can occur many times in the revenue results.
Note 1: One to many (1:*): In a one-to-many relationship, the column in one table has only one instance of a particular value, and the other related table can have more than one instance of a value.
Note 2:
Revenue data is provided at the date and product level.
The board must be able to get the following information from the quarterly reports:
Revenue trends over time -
The percent of total revenue contributed by each product category
A comparison of quarterly revenue versus the same quarter from the previous year

You have a Microsoft Power BI report. The size of PBIX file is 550 MB. The report is accessed by using an App workspace in shared capacity of powerbi.com.
The report uses an imported dataset that contains one fact table. The fact table contains 12 million rows. The dataset is scheduled to refresh twice a day at 08:00 and 17:00.
The report is a single page that contains 15 AppSource visuals and 10 default visuals.
Users say that the report is slow to load the visuals when they access and interact with the report.
You need to recommend a solution to improve the performance of the report.
What should you recommend?
b
You have a Power BI report. The report contains a visual that shows gross sales by date. The visual has anomaly detection enabled.
No anomalies are detected.
You need to increase the likelihood that anomaly detection will identify anomalies in the report.
What should you do?
a
Adding anomaly detection automatically enriches the chart with anomalies, and the expected range of values. When a value goes outside this expected boundary, it's marked as an anomaly.

DRAG DROP You have a folder that contains 100 CSV files.
You need to make the file metadata available as a single dataset by using Power BI. The solution must NOT store the data of the CSV files.
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.
Select and Place:
None
Step 1: From Power BI Desktop, Select Get Data, and then Select Folder.
