Exam DP-750 Topic 1 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's DP-750 exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 1
You have an Azure Databricks workspace that uses Databricks SQL.
You have a table named sales_goals_source that contains the following columns:
* Salesperson
* Item
* 2019
* 2020
* 2021
You need to transform the year columns into rows and return the columns Salesperson, Item, Year, and Value.
How should you complete the SQL statement? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
SELECT Salesperson, Item, Year, Value
FROM sales_goals_source
UNPIVOT
(
Value FOR [first dropdown] IN [second dropdown]
);

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:
First dropdown: Year
Second dropdown: (2019, 2020, 2021)
The UNPIVOT operator converts the separate 2019, 2020, and 2021 columns into rows. Value becomes the output column containing the values previously stored in those year columns. Year becomes the output name column that identifies the original column from which each value came. Therefore, the expression must use Value FOR Year IN (2019, 2020, 2021). The Salesperson and Item columns are not included in the IN list because they remain identifier columns and are repeated for every resulting year row. A single source row consequently produces three output rows-one for each listed year. Selecting (Year) would reference an output name rather than the source columns that must be rotated.
