Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Practice Question

A data analyst is reviewing a line chart in a Power BI report that shows total sales by month. They observe a significant and unexpected increase in sales for the most recent month. The analyst needs to quickly understand the primary factors that contributed to this increase without manually creating new visuals. Which Power BI feature should the analyst use?

  • Right-click the data point for the most recent month and select Analyze > Explain the increase.

  • Configure a drill-through page to show detailed product data.

  • Add a Q&A visual to the report and ask, 'What caused the sales increase?'.

  • Apply a Top N filter to the line chart to isolate the highest sales period.
