Exam PL-300 Topic 2 Question 111 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's PL-300 exam
Question #: 111
Topic #: 2
You have a Power BI semantic model that contains the following tables.

All the tables use the same data source.
You need to reduce the number of limited relationships in the model by changing the storage mode of certain tables. The solution must NOT affect the latency of the data.
Which storage mode should you select for the Customer and Geography tables? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:

Storage mode is a model design choice. An Import table cannot be switched back to DirectQuery in place; it must be reconnected or re-added using DirectQuery when the source and model support that mode. Use the selections preserved in the answer exhibit as the supported configuration. What determines the answer is the need to reduce the number of limited relationships in the model by changing the storage mode of certain tables. The solution must NOT affect the latency of the data. Storage mode cannot always be toggled in place; reconnecting the table in the required mode is different from changing a display or refresh setting. This rationale is anchored to the PL-300 objective " Choose between DirectLake, DirectQuery, and Import " .
