You have a Power BI model that contains two tables named Sales and Date. Sales contains four columns named TotalCost, DueDate, ShipDate, and OrderDate.
Date contains one column named Date.
The tables have the following relationships:
✑ Sales[DueDate] and Date[Date]
✑ Sales[ShipDate] and Date[Date]
✑ Sales[OrderDate] and Date[Date]
The active relationship is on Sales[DueDate].
You need to create measures to count the number of orders by [ShipDate] and the orders by [OrderDate]. You must meet the goal without duplicating data or loading additional data.
Solution: You create two copies of the Date table named ShipDate and OrderDateGet. You create a measure that uses the new tables.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer options
- A. Yes
- B. No
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The proposed solution does not meet the goal because creating copies of the Date table for ShipDate and OrderDateGet introduces redundancy and goes against the requirement of not duplicating data. Instead, measures should utilize the existing Date table and the established relationships without adding new tables.
