"Orders are uniquely identified by using the order ID and can have multiple order lines" - I think the important statement is "and can have multiple order lines" which means that the order ID can appear more than once in the table if the order contains more than one products - so I think the answer is correct.

Selected Answer: D
D. DistinctCount('Sales' [Order ID]) Why DISTINCTCOUNT? The DISTINCTCOUNT function counts the number of unique values in a column. Since each order can have multiple order lines (rows) in the Sales Table (Fact Table) using DISTINCTCOUNT ensures that each Order ID is counted only once, regardless of how many times it appears in the table.

It's D. Reason being is that each order would contain multiple order lines. If you were to do a simple Count, it would inflate the number of orders as it would also count each line. The question is, write a DAX to return the number of orders. Using DISTINCTCOUNT('Sales'[Order ID]) would return the distinct count of Orders.

I think it's D option. As it could be several rows with same OrderID because each order could have multiple Order Lines (one row per Order Line so multiple rows for the Order Id), DISTINCCOUNT must be used to prevent counting twice (or 3, or 4...) same Order.

Order ID will be repeated if more than one product lines are in that order. So, I think distinctcount is necessary.

Fact tables dont have primary key. So, you cant assume that order id is unique. Thats why a lot of you are voting for countrows or count. The right answer is distinct count

Yes, in the fact table we can have multiple rows with the same OrderID. The correct answer is D.
