Exam PL-300 topic 3 question 16 discussion

I passed the exam today (948/1000). My answer was: - In Data Category, set the geographic data category for the relevant columns. - Use the columns of the geography data type in all visuals

The answer seems to be correct. Thanks so much!

D is a distraction. You need the hierarchy for the mobile location. Also validated from MS documentation: To enable geographic filtering in Power BI mobile apps: Set the Data Category for each geographic field. Create a Geographic Hierarchy to allow drill-down capabilities. Publish the report and use the Geo Filter feature in the mobile app.

I think the tricky part here is when it's mentione users are viewing the report in their mobile and data should be displayed based on their location. I was thinking in the report being able to "geo-locate" where the user is using the mobile...but I realized this would be too much!!! Now I understand "each user's location" means the associate geography associated to the user in the data behind the report. Then my vote is for solutions B and D and, of course, I'm suming some RLS based in that location to be set in the report

Chat GPT says the correct answer is B&C. option C is because it enables users to be able to drill down the geography hierarchy for their location. And also It can't be option D because there's no such thing as a Geography data type.

The answer is correct: B - In Data Category, set the geographic data category for the relevant columns D - Use the columns of the geography data type in all visuals

Is there a geography data type? Shouldn't the data type be text?

I would go with B and C. Use the columns of the geography data type in all visuals is not necessary unless you want to have many maps :)

If it were exam, I would go also with B&C, but we do not need RLS?

Should it not be A and B? You need the correct data type (should be text) and the correct data category (should be a geographical one) to be specified. There are two reasons why I think D might not be correct: D mentions a "geography data type". In Power BI data types are "Text, decimal number, binary, date, percentage..." there are no geographical data types but only geographical data categories! Also D states to use the geography data type in ALL visuals. In the description it is never mentioned that access has to be restricted for all visuals of the report...

Answer B,D

B. In Data Category, set the geographic data category for the relevant columns. D. Use the columns of the geography data type in all visuals.

B & D given answer is correct

B and D

B. In Data Category, set the geographic data category for the relevant columns. D. Use the columns of the geography data type in all visuals.

I think create the hierarchy it's necessary if you have more than one cities in different states
