In the Date table, the date_id column has a format of yyyymmdd and the month column has a format of yyyymm. The week column in the Date table and the week_id column in the Weekly_Returns table have a format of yyyyww. In the Sales table, the sales_id column represents a unique transaction. The region id column can be managed by only one sales manager. Existing Environment. Data Concerns You are concerned with the quality and completeness of the sales data. You must ensure that negative and missing sales_amount values do NOT contribute to the total sales amount calculation. Existing Environment. Reporting Requirements Litware identifies the following reporting requirements: Executives require a visual that shows sales by region. Executives require a visual that shows returns by region manager and the sales managers that report to them. The sales managers must be able to see only the sales data of their respective region. The sales managers require a visual to analyze sales performance versus sales targets. The sales department requires reports that contain the number of sales transactions. Users must be able to see the month in each report as shown in the following example: Feb 2020. The customer service department requires a visual that can be filtered by both sales month and ship month independently. The maximum allowed latency to include transactions in reports is five minutes. Question You need to create the required relationship for the executive's visual. What should you do before you can create the relationship? A. Change the data type of Sales[region_id] to Whole Number. B. Change the data type of Sales[region_id] to Decimal Number. C. In the Sales table, add a measure for Sum(sales_amount). D. Change the data type of Sales[sales_id] to Text

Contoso holds quarterly board meetings for which financial analysts manually prepare Microsoft Excel reports, including balance sheets and profit and loss statements for each of the company's four business units. Existing Environment Data and Sources Data for the reports comes from the sources shown in the following table
The balance sheet data is unrelated to the profit and loss results other than they both relate to dates. Balance Sheet Data The balance sheet data is imported and includes the final monthly balances of each account in the format shown in the following table.
The balance sheet data always includes a row for each account for each month. Product Catalog Data The product catalog shows how products roll up to product categories, which roll up to the business units. The product list is provided in the format shown in the following table.
Revenue data is provided at the date and product level. Expense data is provided at the date and department level. Business Issues Historically, it has taken two analysts a week to prepare the reports for the quarterly board meetings. Also, there is usually at least one issue each quarter where a value in a report is wrong because of a bad cell reference in an Excel formula. On occasion, there are conflicting results in the reports because the products and departments that roll up to each business unit are not defined consistently. Requirements Planned Changes Contoso plans to automate and standardize the quarterly reporting process by using Power BI. The company wants to reduce how long it takes to populate the reports to less than two days. The company wants to create common logic for the business units, products, and departments. The logic will be used across all reports, including but not limited to the quarterly reporting for the board. Technical Requirements Contoso wants the reports and datasets refreshed with minimum manual effort. The company wants to provide the board with a single package of reports that will contain custom navigation and links to supplementary information. Maintenance, including manually updating data and access, must be minimized as much as possible. Security Requirements The reports must be made available to the board from powerbi.com. An Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) group will be used to share information with the board. Contoso identifies the following security requirements for analyst access: Analysts must be able to access all balance sheet and product catalog data. Analysts must be able to access only the profit and loss data of their respective business unit. Analysts must be able to create new reports from the dataset that contains the profit and loss data, but the reports built by the analysts must NOT be included in the quarterly reports for the board. Analysts must NOT be able to share the quarterly reports with anyone. Analysts must NOT be able to make new reports by using the balance sheet data. Report Requirements You plan to relate the balance sheet table to a date table in Power BI in a many-to-one relationship based on the last day of the month. At least one of the balance sheet reports in the quarterly reporting package must show the ending balances for the quarter, as well as for the previous quarter. The date table will contain the columns shown in the following table.
The definitions and attributes for the products, departments, and business units must be consistent across all the reports. The board must be able to get the following information from the quarterly reports: Revenue trends over time The ending balances of each account Changes in long-term liabilities from the previous quarter The percent of total revenue contributed by each product category A comparison of quarterly revenue versus the same quarter from the previous year The reports must be updated with the latest data by 5 AM each day. Question 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?

Box 1: CALCULATE CALCULATE evaluates an expression in a modified filter context. Syntax: CALCULATE([, [, [, �]]]) Box 2: ALL Box 3: DIVIDE DIVIDE performs a division. Example: MEASURE FactInternetSales[%Sales] = DIVIDE([TotalSales], CALCULATE([TotalSales],REMOVEFILTERS())) Note: The RETURN keyword consumes variables defined in previous VAR statements. VAR AllCategoryRev = CALCULATE(SUM([Revenue]) ALL(ProductList[ProductCategory])) RETURN DIVIDE(SUM([Revenue]), AllCategoryRev Anyone with experience in DAX would only need to read the question in these case study questions. The questions seem to hint the answer already.. for this question for example anyone would know that the moment you see a percentage of the total is required you would immediately go with the ALL function and the rest is easy.
