You have a data model that contains many complex DAX expressions. The expressions contain frequent references to the RELATED and RELATEDTABLE functions.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the use of the RELATED and RELATEDTABLE functions.
What should you recommend?
- A . Merge tables by using Power Query.
- B . Hide unused columns in the model.
- C . Split the model into multiple models.
- D . Transpose.
Suggested Answer: A
Explanation:
Combining data means connecting to two or more data sources, shaping them as needed, then consolidating them into a useful query.
When you have one or more columns that you’d like to add to another query, you merge the queries.
Note: The RELATEDTABLE function is a shortcut for CALCULATETABLE function with no logical expression.
CALCULATETABLE evaluates a table expression in a modified filter context and returns A table of values.
