PL-300 Visualize and analyze the data Practice Question
You are a Power BI data analyst for a marketing agency. You have a report page with several visuals that display campaign performance metrics. The page is getting crowded, and you need to provide users with a way to view different sets of visuals without creating multiple report pages. You decide to use bookmarks and a bookmark navigator. What should you do to ensure that users can switch between views seamlessly?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that bookmarks automatically capture visual visibility without explicitly setting it; you must configure visibility before adding each bookmark.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create bookmarks for each view, and in the Selection pane, hide or show the relevant visuals before capturing each bookmark.
Bookmarks capture the current state of a report page, including visual visibility. To create different views on the same page, you hide or show visuals using the Selection pane, then create a bookmark for each configuration. The bookmark navigator provides buttons to switch between these bookmarks. Capturing data or using page navigation does not achieve the desired in-page view switching.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the 'Data' option in the bookmark settings to capture the current filter state for each view.
Why it's wrong here
The 'Data' option captures filter and slicer states, not visual visibility. While useful for preserving filters, it does not control which visuals are shown or hidden. To switch between sets of visuals, you need to capture the display state, not just data.
- ✓
Create bookmarks for each view, and in the Selection pane, hide or show the relevant visuals before capturing each bookmark.
Why this is correct
To create distinct views, you must hide or show visuals as desired, then capture a bookmark for each configuration. The Selection pane allows you to toggle visibility. When users select a bookmark via the navigator, the visuals update to match the saved state, providing seamless switching.
- ✗
Add buttons for each view and configure them to navigate to different report pages.
Why it's wrong here
Navigating to different report pages would require creating multiple pages, which the scenario explicitly wants to avoid. Buttons can be used with bookmarks, but the question specifies using bookmarks and a bookmark navigator. The correct approach is to use bookmarks to toggle visibility within the same page.
- ✗
Create separate bookmarks for each view, ensuring that the 'Display' option is checked for all visuals.
Why it's wrong here
Checking 'Display' for all visuals means each bookmark will capture the visibility state of every visual. If you want to show different sets of visuals, you need to set the visibility appropriately for each bookmark. Having all visuals displayed in every bookmark defeats the purpose of switching views.
