Question#52

You have a report that contains four pages. Each page contains slicers for the same four fields.
Users report that when they select values in a slicer on one page, the selections are not persisted on other pages.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that users can select a value once to filter the results on all the pages.
What are two possible recommendations to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  • A. Create a bookmark for each slicer value.
  • B. Replace the slicers with report-level filters.
  • C. Sync the slicers across the pages.
  • D. Replace the slicers with page-level filters.
  • E. Replace the slicers with visual-level filters.
Discover Answer Hide Answer

Answer: BC
C: You can sync a slicer and use it on any or all pages in a report.
B: You can set filters at three different levels for the report: visual-level, page-level, and report-level.
Note: Suppose you want your report readers to be able to look at overall sales metrics, but also highlight performance for individual district managers and different time frames. You could create separate reports or comparative charts. You could add filters in the Filters pane. Or you could use slicers. Slicers are another way of filtering. They narrow the portion of the dataset that is shown in the other report visualizations.

Question#53

You have a report that includes a card visualization.
You need to apply the following conditional formatting to the card while minimizing design effort:
✑ For values that are greater than or equal to 100, the font of the data label must be dark red.
✑ For values that are less than 100, the font of the data label must be dark gray.
Which type of format should you use?

  • A. Color scale
  • B. Rules
  • C. Field value
Discover Answer Hide Answer

Answer: B
Finding the conditional formatting in the card visual is a bit tricky. There is no separate option for that. You need to go to the Format tab of the visual, and then expand the Data Label. The right beside the Data Label's colour you need to hover your mouse, and you will find a three dots icon appearing, which if you click on it, you will see Conditional Formatting.

Now in the Conditional Formatting tab, you can apply it in different methods. for example, you can choose Rules, and then

The Rules mode will give you the ability to put custom roles as below;

Answer:
Step 1: From ReportA, select Get Insights
Then select 'Get Insights'ג€¦ From the Datasets + dataflows tab, select More options (...) next to the dataset, and then choose Get insights.
Power BI Quick Insights will now scan the data related to the tile and display a list of potential insights you may want to explore further. To drill into a specific data point, you can even select data in the visual and Quick Insights will focus on that data point when searching for insights.

Power BI uses various algorithms to search for trends in your dataset.

Within seconds, your insights are ready. Select View insights to display visualizations.

The visualizations display in a special Quick Insights canvas with up to 32 separate insight cards. Each card has a chart or graph plus a short description.
Step 2: From DashboardA, select the TileA options, and then select View Insights
The insight screen opens in Focus mode.
Step 3: From Focus mode, pin the relevant visuals to DashboardA
Go to 'in focus mode' on a dashboard tile for data loaded into Power BI.

Question#55

You are creating a dashboard by using the Power BI service.
You have an existing report page that contains three charts.
You need to add the charts to the dashboard while maintaining the interactivity between the charts.
What should you do?

  • A. Edit interactions in the report and set all interactions to Filter.
  • B. Pin each chart as a tile.
  • C. Edit the dashboard theme and pin each chart as a tile.
  • D. Pin the report page as a live tile.
Discover Answer Hide Answer

Answer: D
One way to add a new dashboard tile is by pinning an entire report page. This is an easy way to pin more than one visualization at a time. Also, when you pin an entire page, the tiles are live; you can interact with them right there on the dashboard. And changes you make to any of the visualizations back in the report editor, like adding a filter or changing the fields used in the chart, are reflected in the dashboard tile as well.
Pinning live tiles from reports to dashboards is only available in Power BI service (app.powerbi.com).

Answer:
Box 1: Inner -
Every Product has a ProductSubCategory.
A standard join is needed.
One of the join kinds available in the Merge dialog box in Power Query is an inner join, which brings in only matching rows from both the left and right tables.

Box 2: Left outer -
Not every ProductsubCategory has a parent ProductCategory.
One of the join kinds available in the Merge dialog box in Power Query is a left outer join, which keeps all the rows from the left table and brings in any matching rows from the right table.
