16) Explain the differences between one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships
in Power BI
Ans. One-to-one relationships link each row in one table to a single row in another, one-to-
many relationships link each row in one table to multiple rows in another, and many-to-many
relationships involve intermediary tables connecting multiple rows between two tables

Ans. "New Table" in Power BI is a feature for creating calculated tables using DAX
expressions, enhancing data modeling by introducing new derived tables.
20) When would you use a line chart instead of a bar chart?
Ans. Use a line chart to display trends over time, showing continuous data points, whereas a bar
chart is suitable for comparing distinct categories.

11) A client requires a geographic analysis of their sales data. How would you visualize
this data using maps and location-based insights?
Ans. Utilize the "Map" visual to show sales data by location. Incorporate geographic
data, such as country or city names, and use color intensity or size of data points to
represent sales values. Leverage the "Filled Map" or "Shape Map" for regional insights.
Apply filters or slicers for interactivity, allowing users to focus on specific regions or
time frames.
12) What observation we can get from the above line chart ?
Ans. The above line Chart represents This year and Last year sales by Fiscal month and
the conclusion we can get from it is around July month this year we saw a dip in sales
whereas previous year sales shows rise in the same month.
Also this year sales shows major ups and downs.
