If it's the only field in a table only unique values will be shown.

only distinct values not unique values so the answer is: 75 rows / reduce

Exactly, only distinct values but the question says "UnitsInStock has 75 non-null values, of which 51 are unique", so it does not say 75 distinct values, it says 75 with non-null values, so we can have repeated values. Therefore, I would say 51 / decrease

Consider that, this column is in Product dimension table, so all rows are different.

and also should consider the distribution of values in the column is not important, just the number of rows are important, since we have 75 non-null values, then we will have 75 rows.

No, it cannot display only the unique. You know what that means? It means if you have a number that is distinct but not unique for example, 5,5,5, then it will not capture it because it is not unique. The answer is 75. Unique means it occurs only once in the column which cannot make up the table rows only. I have actually tried this on PBI with some datatset to confirm. For the second question, when you summarise, it will reduce the table. for example, all products with the same productname will return one row if you drag the productname and unitInstock to the table visual.

In that case, if you have 5,5,5, the five will only show once, meaning it will show 51 rows, not 75

Example: 1,2,3,4,4 contains 5 non-nullable, 4 distinct, 3 unique values. When not summarized and placed in a table, there are 4 rows. The answer to this question should be between 51-75, not one or the other.

Name of products should be unique. but number of Unitsinstock column does not need to be unique. And since this column is in the Product dimension table, the product names are unique and there are 75 product.

If you have tried in PBI, only put that Unitsinstock column in the table, you will know it should be 51.

It's 51. Table doesn't show duplicated values when there's only one field added. It will show 75 if you set "Summerize by: Count" but Summerize is set to None in the screenshot.

The summarization is set to 'Don't summarize' so you will have 1 row per value, not 1 row total. If you add a summarization it will decrease the number of rows.

Yes, I created a toy excel sheet and tested it. You are correct! The first time we created a table visual, there is only 1 row in the visual and the summarization is set to "SUM". After we changed the summarization to "Dont summarize", the row increased from 1 row to 51 rows.

Sorry for the confusion, I think my answer was wrong. I noticed in the question image the summarization is set to "None", so when you first create the visual, there should be 51 rows. Later change the summarization will change 51 rows to 1 row, so "Reduce"

You did not test. If there are more non-nullable than unique, there will always be more rows than unique. Example: 1,2,3,4,4 has 3 unique, 5 non-nullable, 4 distinct. Placed in a table shows the rows: 1,2,3,4

The data type is whole number therefore when you add only that field to the table, default summarization will occur - hence only 1 row showing total of all those UnitsInStock Changing the summarization setting is ambiguous since it can be changed to Average, Min, Max etc. I would guess you should say increase though

So, by default the table contains all the values for a specific field (75 in this case) when we select to don't summarize, then it will be reduced to the number of distinct values (51 in the example). So the given answer is correct

We assume that our column contains 75 non-null values ​​of which 51 are unique, so we have 63 distinct values ​​that will be visualized in the table, so I don't understand why your answers are 75 rows while in powerbi we don't see repeated values ​​in a table.

The answer is correct. 75 rows / reduce. When added to a table it will show all the non-null values (75). When summarizing by each of those values, then it will only show each discrete value 1 time to show it's frequency of appearance (51 unique characters). 51 < 75 = reduce. Tested and agreed.

The question was not well structured, obviously distinct values will be more than 51 (the unique values) since we have 75 non-null values. I happen when you try to theorize practical things.

The first question is very tricky. Assuming that the field accept null values and the question says "UnitsInStock has 75 non-null values, of which 51 are unique" should we assume that there is no null value therefor the answer is 75? But what if there is a null value then the answer is 76 that is one (1) null value plus seventy-five (75) non-null values. I tested this with a smaller set of data 14 Distinct (including 1 null value) and 10 unique. With no summarization, my table visual returned 14 rows (representing the distinct value that includes the null value). With summarization, my table visual returned 1 row. Because of that, I will just assume that there are no null values and select 75 for the first question and Decrease to the second question.

The fact that the values are unique or not is not necessary here. If you are visualising the data for a month and plotting a table with unitstocks for each day, thinking that a record or a row will be removed just because two days in a month had same unitstocks is incorrect. Unless you are summarising(aggregating) records will not be removed on grounds that they do not have a unique value. answer would be 75, reduced.

This question makes no sense: it will be 51 values appearing in the visual table for the unique values PLUS the number of distinct values (it could be 1 value or more... so at least we will get 52 values) We have non-null values but if we have null values they will be added also because we are using YES for "is-nullable", so i think the question is not well formed. (try a column from 1 to 51(distinct values) and continue till 75 as u wish and then create a visualization table) and obviously when summarized the rows will be reduced to one.

Tried in power bi. when created a table visual with UnitsInStock column(only this column, without ProductID column etc / also without summarization) The number of rows equal the number of distinct values. Since we don't have distinct value here, the answer of first box really depends on how we define [unique]....if unique here = distinct, then 51. if there is ProductID in the table visual then 75.
