Quick Answer
The correct answer is that only rows where Amount > 1000 will be visible to users. This is because the row-level security (RLS) filter you applied to the Sales table uses a DAX filter expression that explicitly restricts data access to rows meeting that condition; any row with an Amount of 1000 or less is hidden from the user’s view. On the Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst PL-300 exam, this concept tests your ability to read and interpret RLS rules, often presented in a scenario where a static filter is applied to a table—a common trap is assuming RLS filters work like slicers or that they show all rows except those excluded, when in fact they only show rows that satisfy the filter predicate. Remember, RLS is a row-level gate: it does not add or subtract rows beyond the condition you write. A quick memory tip: “RLS shows only what fits the filter—if Amount > 1000, then 1000 itself is out.”
This PL-300 practice question tests your understanding of model the data. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Refer to the exhibit.
Power BI JSON policy for a table 'Sales':
{
"name": "SalesPolicy",
"filter": "Sales[Amount] > 1000"
}Refer to the exhibit. You apply the row-level security (RLS) policy shown to the Sales table. Which rows will be visible to users?
Refer to the exhibit.
Power BI JSON policy for a table 'Sales':
{
"name": "SalesPolicy",
"filter": "Sales[Amount] > 1000"
}Rows where Amount is not blank
Why wrong: Not the condition.
All rows in the Sales table
Why wrong: The filter restricts rows.
Only rows where Amount <= 1000
Why wrong: That is the opposite.
Only rows where Amount > 1000
The filter defines this condition.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Only rows where Amount > 1000
Option B is correct because the filter only includes rows where Amount > 1000. Option A is wrong because it includes all rows. Option C is wrong because it includes less. Option D is wrong because it excludes the condition.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Rows where Amount is not blank
Why it's wrong here
Not the condition.
All rows in the Sales table
Why it's wrong here
The filter restricts rows.
Only rows where Amount <= 1000
Why it's wrong here
That is the opposite.
Only rows where Amount > 1000
Why this is correct
The filter defines this condition.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.

Same concept, more angles
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Refer to the exhibit. You are managing a Power BI workspace and applying dataset permissions via the XMLA endpoint. The JSON policy shows permissions for two users on the 'Sales' dataset. user1 has Viewer role, user2 has Reshare role. The dataset has row-level security (RLS) defined. Which statement is true about the permissions?
hardWhy C: Option A is correct because RLS is enforced for both Viewer and Reshare roles. Option B is incorrect because Reshare allows sharing but not necessarily modifying reports. Option C is incorrect because Viewer cannot modify the dataset. Option D is incorrect because Reshare does not allow editing the dataset.
Variation 2. Which TWO approaches can you use to implement row-level security (RLS) in Power BI?
mediumWhy D: Option A is correct because static RLS uses roles with filters based on fixed values. Option D is correct because dynamic RLS uses the USERNAME or USERPRINCIPALNAME function to filter based on the current user. Option B is wrong because column-level security is not RLS; it hides columns. Option C is wrong because object-level security restricts access to entire tables, not rows. Option E is wrong because Power BI does not support RLS based on groups directly; you need to use roles.
