Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Practice Question

You are designing a star schema in Power BI Desktop that contains a Sales fact table and a separate Date table. You must ensure that DAX time-intelligence functions such as TOTALYTD return correct results while keeping the model performant. Which configuration should you apply to the relationship between the two tables and to the Date table itself?

  • Leave both tables unmarked and create a Many-to-Many bidirectional relationship so that filters flow both ways.

  • Mark the Date column in the Date table as a date table, then create a One-to-Many single-direction relationship from Date to Sales.

  • Mark the Sales table as a date table and create a One-to-One bidirectional relationship between Sales and Date.

  • Enable the Auto Date/Time option and remove the explicit Date table to rely on hidden date hierarchies.
