Question 250
A Power BI team has selected this approach: Create a prior-year measure with an appropriate time-intelligence date-shift function. The original business context is: An analyst wants sales for the same period one year earlier using a marked contiguous Date table. What evidence most directly verifies that the requirement is satisfied?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A March filter returns the corresponding March period in the previous year. It provides the required observation for the chosen implementation: Create a prior-year measure with an appropriate time-intelligence date-shift function. This test addresses the stated business constraint directly.
Incorrect Answers
Rows fall into exactly one configured bucket and the field appears in the slicer. That check would be meaningful for the separate case: A table needs a labeled categorical bucket for each static Amount value to support a slicer. It would not directly verify this scenario's selected implementation: Create a prior-year measure with an appropriate time-intelligence date-shift function.
July starts a new fiscal YTD rather than continuing the calendar-year total. That check would be meaningful for the separate case: A company runs a fiscal year ending June 30 and wants YTD measures aligned with that boundary. It would not directly verify this scenario's selected implementation: Create a prior-year measure with an appropriate time-intelligence date-shift function.
Shipped totals change with the selected date range and exclude unshipped orders. That check would be meaningful for the separate case: A measure must count orders with Status = Shipped while still respecting a date slicer. It would not directly verify this scenario's selected implementation: Create a prior-year measure with an appropriate time-intelligence date-shift function.
