Question 12:
You work with a lite version of the IT Spend Analysis report with just three
visuals created by Obvience.

Some users complain that the visual Var Plan by Country/Region is

slow to load. You use the performance analyzer to examine the
performance of the visual. You observe that the Other tasks require an
inordinate amount of time compared to DAX query or Visual display tasks.
Question 13:
Your colleague works with a data model to analyze the performance of the
company’s offline stores.
So, he creates a KPI visual to compare how the revenue in the current
quarter compares to the revenue from the previous quarter.
The below representation shows the measures/fields used to build the KPI
visual.

But there is something off with the visual. The KPI displays a much higher
value (33859) than the goal (Revenue Last Quarter). But you cannot
observe this behavior in the trend chart in the background (which is
continuously decreasing each quarter).
To debug the issue, you check the underlying data for the visual.
What could be wrong with the visual?

Note:
1. Offline Store Revenue table contains historical (at least four years)
revenue data for the company’s offline stores.
2.
1. Revenue Last Quarter =
2. IF (ISBLANK([Total Revenue]), BLANK(), CALCULATE ( [Total
Revenue], PREVIOUSQUARTER( 'Date'[Date] ) ) )

You create the below Power BI report.

You need to design the Sales Value measure used in the table visual. This
measure:
1. Should display empty values only if the report is filtered by
the Date field from the Dates table.
2. Should honor any other filter and display [Total Sales] values if the
report is filtered/sliced by other fields in the model.

How would you complete box 1, box 2, and box 3 respectively for
the Sales Value measure?
Question 19:
For their new product line, the company Johnson & Johnson has created a
Power BI model with a City (only US cities) and an Order table. They have
not created any relationship between the two tables.
The company can receive orders from multiple clients in a city. You need
to display the below information in a Power BI report:

Requirement 1: The count of cities where at least an order is placed for

each State Province in January 2015.
Requirement 2: The all-time percentage contribution of a State
Province to the total quantities ordered in the US.

How would you configure the relationship from the Order table to
the City table?

In this visual, you have to add a measure to display the sales for the North
district only, while leaving the sales of other districts a blank value. Which
DAX formula would you use? Select two options.
Note:
1. Total Sales =
2. SUM ( 'Work Orders'[Sales] )

Question 22:

Below is a Power BI table showing the aggregation (SUM) of pageviews for

each study guide.
In the above table, you have to format/color the Study Guide (column)
whose average pageviews are greater than 80. How would you configure
the conditional formatting settings?
Question 23:
You are a project manager, and you have to track planned vs. actual hours
for the project deliverables each sprint. How would you set up the KPI
visual?

Assumption 1: Time overrun leads to cost overrun for the client and is
not desirable.

Note 1: A sprint runs for one week; the project is six months in duration.
