Your Power BI model contains a large FactSales table and several dimension tables. You receive two requirements:
Show a slicer that lets report consumers filter visuals by FiscalQuarter, a value derived from FactSales[SaleDate].
Build a reusable HighValueCustomers dimension that keeps only customers whose lifetime sales amount exceeds $1,000,000 so the table can be related to other tables and used in reports. Which Power BI calculation type should you use for each requirement to meet the functional needs and follow recommended practice?
Create a calculated column for FiscalQuarter and a calculated table for HighValueCustomers.
Create a measure for FiscalQuarter and a calculated table for HighValueCustomers.
Create a calculated column for FiscalQuarter and a measure for HighValueCustomers.
Create a calculated table for FiscalQuarter and a calculated column for HighValueCustomers.
A calculated column is evaluated for every row in a table during data refresh and the result is stored in the model, so the value can be placed in slicers, rows, or columns. That makes it the correct choice for the FiscalQuarter attribute, which must be selectable in a slicer. A calculated table is created with a DAX expression that returns an entire table. Because it is stored in the model, it can participate in relationships and act as an independent dimension. Using a calculated table allows you to aggregate FactSales by customer, filter to those above $1,000,000, and then relate the resulting HighValueCustomers table to other tables. Alternative answers fail because measures cannot be used in slicers or relationships, and a calculated column cannot create a separate table that other tables can relate to.
