A: merge columns is correct. And if there would be DAX as another option, I would choose this since you have to choose two options. All the other answers don't make much sense

We definitely can use :View" in SQL to merge two column. Remember View is the result of a SELECT statement. So D is correct.

I just did this with Power BI desktop. The "each correct answer" part infers that it's a 2 (or more) step process, so I'd choose B then A. You have to import data first as soon as you even open Power BI, so that should be the initial step. Then I selected "transform data" and used power query to merge my columns. If the actual question wants 3 answers, then create a view, visualization, or dashboard would be the next one I'd select. Also, this is the same as question # 72

"Each correct answer presents a COMPLETE solution." It's the opposite of what you're describing.

Selected Answer: A

A. Use Power Query to merge columns. Power Query is a data connection and data transformation tool that allows you to connect to various data sources, including Dynamics 365, and manipulate the data as needed. One of the capabilities of Power Query is the ability to merge columns, which can be used to combine the City and State columns into one column on the report. This is the most efficient way to accomplish this task as it allows you to make the changes directly to the data source and avoid having to manually manipulate the data in another tool like Microsoft Excel.

First you need to import the data, merge the columns and create a view. That tells me the answer is A, B & D

From my understanding, it is not about the process how to get there. So only A & D are correct

The questions said it needed to be a complete solution. For answer C only the 'export data' is given. This implies there will be no import of the data and thus is not a complete solution.
