Explanation:

In Power query, the load preview by default is 1000 row. By default, the column quality also only looks at the first 1000 row. You can verify this by the status bar at the bottom of the Power query window. To change the profiling so it analyses the entire column of data, select the profiling status in the status bar. Then select Column profiling based on the entire data set. https://theexcelclub.com/data-profiling-views-in-power-query-excel-and-power-bi/

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

There are two primary ways of combining queries: merging and appending.

When you have one or more columns that you’d like to add to another query, you merge the queries.

When you have additional rows of data that you’d like to add to an existing query, you append the query.

Answers
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

With Power BI Desktop, when you connect to your data source, it's always possible to import a copy of the data into the Power BI Desktop. For some data sources, an alternative approach is available: connect directly to the data source using DirectQuery.

DirectQuery: No data is imported or copied into Power BI Desktop. For relational sources, the selected tables and columns appear in the Fields list. For multi-dimensional sources like SAP Business Warehouse, the dimensions and measures of the selected cube appear in the Fields list. As you create or interact with a visualization, Power BI Desktop queries the underlying data source, so you’re always viewing current data.

You have a Microsoft Power BI data model that contains three tables named Orders, Date, and City.

There is a one-to-many relationship between Date and Orders and between City and Orders.

The model contains two row-level security (RLS) roles named Role1 and Role2. Role1 contains the following filter. City[State Province] = "Kentucky"

D.

Create an active relationship between Sales and Date for the purchase date and an inactive relationship for the ship date.

Answers
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Only one relationship can be active.

Note: If you query two or more tables at the same time, when the data is loaded, Power BI Desktop attempts to find and create relationships for you. The relationship options Cardinality, Cross filter direction, and Make this relationship active are automatically set.
