                                                                                  You perform an initial load of the data from a Microsoft Excel source as shown in the following exhibit.

                                                                                  You need to transform the data to ensure that you can build the visuals. The solution must ensure that the columns are named appropriately for the data that they contain.

                                                                                  Explanation:


                                                                                  Read the completed answer mapping as promote the first row to headers; select Department and Product and unpivot the other columns; rename Attribute to Year and Value to Revenue. The required outcome is to transform the data to ensure that you can build the visuals. The solution must ensure that the columns are named appropriately for the data that they contain. Unpivot converts repeated columns into Attribute and Value rows while preserving the identifier columns. This normalizes a wide source so one measure column can be filtered, grouped, and charted consistently. This directly matches the current study-guide objective " Pivot, unpivot, and transpose data " . Pivoting makes a table wider, while unpivoting converts repeated period or category columns into attribute-value rows that visuals can aggregate consistently.

                                                                                  You are creating an analytics report that will consume data from the tables shown in the following table.

                                                                                  There is a relationship between the tables.
                                                                                  There are no reporting requirements on employeejd and employee_photo.
                                                                                  You need to optimize the data model
                                                                                  What should you configure for employeejd and employee.photo? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

                                                                                  Explanation:

                                                                                  What determines the answer is the need to optimize the data model. The retained answer area specifies 1) Hide; 2) Delete. A lookup-to-fact design normally uses one-to-many cardinality and single-direction filtering from the unique key to the repeating key. That creates predictable propagation and avoids an unnecessary ambiguous filter path. The opposite cardinality or unnecessary bidirectional filtering can duplicate results, block propagation, or create ambiguity rather than solve the stated model path. The current PL-300 study guide places this under the objective " Define a relationship ' s cardinality and cross-filter direction " . It also preserves predictable filter context and aggregation behavior when the result is used by several visuals or report pages.

                                                                                  You have two Azure SQL databases that contain the same tables and columns.
                                                                                  For each database, you create a query that retrieves data from a table named Customers.
                                                                                  You need to combine the Customer tables into a single table. The solution must minimize the size of the data model and support scheduled refresh in the Power BI service.
                                                                                  What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
                                                                                  NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

                                                                                  Explanation:

                                                                                  The scenario is asking for a way to combine the Customer tables into a single table. The solution must minimize the size of the data model and support scheduled refresh in the Power BI service. Read the completed answer mapping as 1) Append Queries as New; 2) Disable loading the query to the data model.
                                                                                  Merge joins columns by key and would change the width of the result rather than combine same-schema records into one table. Append as New stacks the two same-schema Customers query results into a separate combined query. Disabling load for the staging queries avoids storing duplicate copies while leaving the combined query refreshable. The current skills outline describes this competency as " Merge and append queries " .
