QuestionQ357

Implement reporting

A company uses Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps. The company uses Power BI Desktop to retrieve a list of customers.

You need to create a Power BI report that displays the list. A Power BI Desktop instance is authenticated by using a Dynamics 365 finance and operations app.

Which four actions should you perform next, in sequence?

Drag & Drop
Select Get data from Power BI.
Enter the name of the Customers data entity.
Create a Power BI report by using the customer data.
Enter credentials to connect a database.
Enter the URL of the Customers OData endpoint.
Select OData feed.
Explanation

In Power BI Desktop you start with Get data, then choose the OData feed connector, then enter the URL of the Customers OData endpoint, and finally build the report from the returned customer data. Because the stem states the Power BI Desktop instance is already authenticated to the finance and operations app, 'Enter credentials to connect a database' is not one of the next actions — authentication has already happened. You also do not type the entity name; the entity is selected in the Navigator after the URL resolves, so 'Enter the name of the Customers data entity' is a distractor. The sequence therefore ends with creating the report.
