Correct. The Power BI service lets you view and interact with reports and dashboards, but doesn't
let you shape data.

Create a report in Power BI mobile, share it to Power BI Desktop, and interact with reports in the

synonymous with zero in the data, the average will be di erent from the accurate average.

calculations work correctly?

Add time intelligence measures to the date table.

Mark as a Date table.

Add a fiscal hierarchy.

Add a date column.

21. You have a table that stores account balance snapshots for each date, excluding
weekends. You need to ensure that your measure formula only filters by a single date. Also, if
no record is on the last date of a time period, it should use the latest account balance. Which
DAX time intelligence function should you use?

22. What benefit do you get from analyzing the metadata?

The benefit of analyzing the metadata is that you can clearly identify data inconsistences with your
semantic model.

The benefit of analyzing the metadata is to get familiar with your data.

The benefit of analyzing the metadata is to know the number of rows, columns and tables being
loaded into your model.

23. What can be achieved by removing unnecessary rows and columns?

It is not necessary to delete unnecessary rows and columns and it is a good practice to keep all
metadata intact.

Deleting unnecessary rows and columns will reduce a semantic model size and its good practice to
load only necessary data into your semantic model.

Deleting unnecessary rows and columns will reduce a semantic model size and its good practice to
load only necessary data into your semantic model.

Deleting unnecessary rows and columns can damage the structure of the semantic model.
