PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
This PL-900 practice question tests your understanding of demonstrate the capabilities of power apps. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. 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. The app uses a Dataverse entity 'contoso_inventory'. Users report that the gallery does not show items with Stock < 10. What is the most likely cause?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "most likely"
Why it matters: Probability qualifier — the question wants the most probable cause or outcome, not a guaranteed one. Eliminate low-probability options.
The data source filter 'status eq Active' excludes records with Stock < 10
Correct. The data source filter 'status eq Active' is applied at the data source level. If items with Stock < 10 have a different status (e.g., 'Inactive'), they are excluded before the gallery sees them.
B
Dataverse does not support Filter delegation
Why wrong: Incorrect. Dataverse supports delegation for many filter operators, including numeric comparisons on indexed columns.
C
The app has a delegation limit of 500 records
Why wrong: Incorrect. The delegation limit of 500 records would only limit the number of items, not exclude all items with Stock < 10.
D
The Filter function in Gallery1 is non-delegable and may not apply to all records
Why wrong: Incorrect. Dataverse does support delegation for numeric comparisons like '<' on the Stock column, so the Filter function is delegable. The issue is not non-delegability.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The data source filter 'status eq Active' excludes records with Stock < 10
Option A is correct because the data source filter 'status eq Active' is applied to the datasource before the gallery's Filter function. If records with Stock < 10 have a status other than 'Active', they are excluded by the datasource filter and never reach the gallery, causing the issue. Option B is false because Dataverse supports filter delegation for many operations. Option C is the delegation limit of 500 records would limit the number of items shown, but it would not exclude all items with Stock < 10 unless they are all beyond the limit, which is unlikely. Option D is false because Dataverse supports delegation for numeric comparisons like '<' on the Stock column, so the Filter function is delegable and should apply to all records.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
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
How to think about this question
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.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
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.
