Question 3 :
There is a table visual that displays Total Sales each quarter and the corresponding sales for
the previous quarter from the Sales table.
 The two measures used in the table are defined as below:

1. Total Sales =
2. CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] ) )

1. Sales Last Quarter =

2. CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSQUARTER( 'Date'[Date] ) )

Due to the workings of the PREVIOUSQUARTER DAX function, a blank value appears
for Total Sales in the last row when you add the Sales Last Quarter measure to the
visual.

How would you rewrite the measure for Sales Last Quarter in order to avoid this blank
value?


1. Sales Last Quarter =
2. IF (ISBLANK([Total Sales]), CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSQUARTER( 'Date'[Date] ) ) )


1. Sales Last Quarter =
2. IF (NOT ISEMPTY(Sales), CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSQUARTER( 'Date'[Date] ) ) )

3.
4. Sales Last Quarter =
5. IF (NOT ISBLANK([Total Sales]), BLANK(), CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSQUARTER(
'Date'[Date] ) ) )


1. Sales Last Quarter =
2. IF (NOT BLANK(), CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSQUARTER( 'Date'[Date] ) ) )


1. Sales Last Quarter =
2. IF (ISBLANK([Total Sales]), BLANK(), CALCULATE ( [Total Sales], PREVIOUSQUARTER(
'Date'[Date] ) ) )

You have a column chart that displays the total sales for each Product Category.

When a sales manager hovers over an individual Product Category (column), you should
show a tooltip that displays the metrics no. of. ratings and no. of. answered
questions for each product in the product category.

How would you achieve this objective?

Drag-and-drop all three fields (no. of. ratings, no. of. answered
questions & Product) in the Tooltips well

the traffic (Clicks) and Affiliate Income he generates from different advertisers via his blog.

Carefully observe the sample Affiliate Revenue dataset below.

He would like to calculate the average income he earns per day from all the affiliate
channels across different years.

Which two steps can help him achieve the goal

1. Drag the Year field (from a related Date dimension) and the Affiliate Channel field
into the Rows well of a table matrix visualization.

2. Drag the Affiliate Income field into the Values well and sets the default
summarization to Average.
 1. Drag the Year field (from a related Date dimension) and the Affiliate Channel field
into the Rows well of a table matrix visualization.

2. Create an explicit measure with AVERAGEX function (for displaying average income
per day

1. Drag the Year field (from a related Date dimension) and the Affiliate Channel field
into the Rows well of a table matrix visualization.

2. Create an explicit measure with AVERAGEA function (for displaying average income
per day).

1. Year = 2010 and Affiliate Channel = ‘Linkshare’ are in filter context.

2. The year 2010 filters the Date table and so the virtual table.

3. Affiliate Channel = ‘Linkshare’ filters the Affiliate Revenue table.

4. For each row in the virtual table, DAX calculates the measure [Total Income] . This
measure is nothing but the sum of all affiliate income.

5. Finally, all the values are totaled and averaged (the total is divided by 3, as there are three
rows in the virtual table for the year 2010).Bas du formulaire

category with the Group by operation All rows .

For the next step, you should write a Power Query formula to extract the best-selling product
from the table structure for each product subcategory .

1. Best-selling product = Table.Max (

2. Table.Group ( [Products], "Product", {"Total Units", each List.Sum ( [Units Sold] ) } ),
"Total Units" )

Use object-level security to hide student names

Use sensitivity labels to encrypt the data

Question 16 :
Business users in your organization connect to a financial data mart to develop financial
reports like income analysis, P&L analysis, etc., and deploy them to service. Over time, this
