You have two tables named Customers and Invoice in a Power BI model. The Customers table contains the following fields:
CustomerID
Customer City
Customer State
Customer Name
Customer Address 1
Customer Address 2
Customer Postal Code
The Invoice table contains the following fields:
Order ID
Invoice ID
Invoice Date
Customer ID
Total Amount
Total Item Count
The Customers table is related to the Invoice table through the Customer ID columns. A customer can have many invoices within one month.
The Power BI model must provide the following information:
The number of customers invoiced in each state last month
The average invoice amount per customer in each postal code
You need to define the relationship from the Customers table to the Invoice table. The solution must optimize query performance.

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 are modeling data by using Microsoft Power BI. Part of the data model is a large Microsoft SQL Server table named Order that has more than 100 million records.
During the development process, you need to import a sample of the data from the Order table.
Solution: You add a WHERE clause to the SQL statement.
Does this meet the goal?
You are reviewing a query that produces 10,000 rows in the Power Query Editor.
You need to identify whether a column contains only unique values.
Which two Data Preview options can you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Case Study 3 - Northwind Traders
Overview. General Overview
Northwind Traders is a specialty food import company.
The company recently implemented Power BI to better understand its top customers, products, and suppliers.
Overview. Business Issues
The sales department relies on the IT department to generate reports in Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). The IT department takes too long to generate the reports and often misunderstands the report requirements.
Existing Environment. Data Sources
Northwind Traders uses the data sources shown in the following table.
Source2 is exported daily from a third-party system and stored in Microsoft SharePoint Online.
Existing Environment. Customer Worksheet
Source2 contains a single worksheet named Customer Details. The first 11 rows of the worksheet are shown in the following table.
All the fields in Source2 are mandatory.
The Address column in Customer Details is the billing address, which can differ from the shipping address.
Existing Environment. Azure SQL Database
Source1 contains the following table:
Orders
Products
Suppliers
Categories
Order Details
Sales Employees
The Orders table contains the following columns.
The Order Details table contains the following columns.
The address in the Orders table is the shipping address, which can differ from the billing address.
The Products table contains the following columns.
The Categories table contains the following columns.
The Suppliers table contains the following columns.
The Sales Employees table contains the following columns.
Each employee in the Sales Employees table is assigned to one sales region. Multiple employees can be assigned to each region.
Requirements. Report Requirements
Northwind Traders requires the following reports:
Top Products
Top Customers
On-Time Shipping
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 report must also show which suppliers provide the top products.
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 Northwind Traders defines late orders as those shipped after the required shipping date.
The warehouse shipping department must be notified if the percentage of late orders within the current month exceeds 5%.
The reports must show historical data for the current calendar year and the last three calendar years.
Requirements. Technical Requirements
Northwind Traders identifies the following technical requirements:
A single dataset must support all three reports.
The reports must be stored in a single Power BI workspace.
Report data must be current as of 7 AM Pacific Time each day.
The reports must provide fast response times when users interact with a visualization.
The data model must minimize the size of the dataset as much as possible, while meeting the report requirements and the technical requirements.
Requirements. Security Requirements
Access to the reports must be granted to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) security groups only.
An Azure AD security group exists for each department.
The sales department must be able to perform the following tasks in Power BI:
Create, edit, and delete content in the reports.
Manage permissions for workspaces, datasets, and report.
Publish, unpublish, update, and change the permissions for an app.
Assign Azure AD groups role-based access to the reports workspace.
Users in the sales department must be able to access only the data of the sales region to which they are assigned in the Sales Employees table.
Power BI has the following row-level security (RLS) Table filter DAX expression for the Sales Employees table.
[EmailAddress] = USERNAME()
RLS will be applied only to the sales department users. Users in all other departments must be able to view all the data.
You need to create the On-Time Shipping report.
You need to create the semantic model.
Which storage mode should you use for the tables in the semantic model?
You plan to create the chart shown in the following exhibit.
How should you create the dashed horizontal line denoting the 40th percentile of daily sales for the period shown?
