Exam DP-600 topic 1 question 52 discussion

The answer is Automatic and Direct Lake, actually the picture comes from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/directlake-analyze-qp In this article you can see there are table1 and view1, performance analyser shows: • First card is linked to Table1 so direct lake is used • Second card is linked to View1 so it does direct query As the model can use direct lake and direct query you can conclude that the fallback behavior is automatic. For direct lake behavior you can read this: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/leveraging-pure-direct-lake-mode-for-maximum-query-performance

There is no table visual in this image.

The Direct Lake fallback behavior is set to: Answer: Automatic Since the semantic model uses Direct Lake mode, but the query was executed using Direct Query, this implies a fallback occurred. If fallback occurred and wasn’t blocked, it means the fallback behavior must be set to Automatic (allows fallback to DirectQuery when Direct Lake is not possible). The query for the table visual is executed by using: Answer: Direct Query This is explicitly shown in the Performance Analyzer under the “Direct query” row, which indicates that the table visual ran using Direct Query, not Direct Lake.

Since the right half of the screenshot is missing I suggest visiting here (as already mentioned below): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/direct-lake-analyze-query-processing There you can see that the first performance measurement was done with a table and the second one with a view. Hence the 2nd question is referring to the first performance measurement. When DirectQuery is not mentioned the model uses DirectLake - since one measure is using DirectLake and one DirectQuery the mode is set to automatic.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/get-started/direct-lake-analyze-query-processing Direct Lake Mode, Direct Query

1. The Direct Lake fallback behavior is set to: DirectQueryOnly The Performance analyzer shows that the query type is "Direct query". This indicates that the fallback behavior is set to only use DirectQuery and not Direct Lake. If the behavior were set to "DirectLakeOnly", the query would fail if Direct Lake could not be used. "Automatic" would use Direct Lake when possible and fall back to DirectQuery, but since it's specifically showing "Direct query", it suggests "DirectQueryOnly". 2.The query for the table visual is executed by using: Direct Query The Performance analyzer directly mentions "Direct query" as the query type for the visual. This confirms that the data is being retrieved using DirectQuery mode, not Direct Lake or any composite model.

Asnwer: Automatic - DirectLake. the image is cut bad. if you follow this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/get-started/direct-lake-analyze-query-processing you can see that in Data section of Power BI they are using two different tables

IMHO, Automatic & DirectQuery

The question itself is uniquely confusing and ambiguous and at times simply wrong, but I would go with Automatic and DirectQuery bc DAX falls back to DirectQuery always (it is a known shortcoming --> all explained here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/directlake-overview)

Automatic, DirectLake IMO, as the fallback method is not explicitly mentioned, by default any DirectLake query falls. back to DirectQuery, hence, it is automatic. After the changes have been made, the query method has fallen back to DirectQuery, hence, I would choose DirectQuery. Would be great to know further opinion into this.

I think automatic and direct lake : we have fallback direct query for card and no informations about table visual so its direct lake.
