Selected Answer: A
A is correct, you need a subscription, not an alert as alerts don't include a snapshot and they will only be sent based on a certain condition whereas here you want daily notifications, not just when the value exceeds a certain threshold.

I think this reasoning is completely valid, especially the fact that for sending an alert a certain threshold must be exceeded. While the requirement is that the update must be sent daily.

Correct answer should be A... a subscriptions, which allows you to receive email with a snapshot of a report or a dashboard, with the time frequency you decide. Alerts are only used when you set a threshold for a value and you need to be informed based on current value exceeding a limit

Alerts will trigger notifications when value in the card would pass the threshold set, and this threshold could be set to '0' (assuming positive values) to ensure a notification is sent every time value is updated,.... but this question is looking for "daily notifications" even when there is no change, therefore subscription is the way Anyway, the easiest way is to use subsciption to ensure notification everytime value is updated

Thé scope is : user wants to receive daily notifications of the number shown on the card visual. User just want to know what is shown, he does not want to know WHEN changed.(which is the role of an alert) Based on this, A is correct, subscription

Selected Answer: A
A subscription would be appropriate for daily updates without specific data change conditions. So, for daily notifications regardless of data changes, the answer should be: A. Create a subscription.

In the link provided https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts , it says: 'Only you can see the alerts you set, even if you share your dashboard. Similarly, the dashboard owner can't see alerts you set on your view of their dashboard'. It means you can't use alert to notify other users! So I would say answer A should be the right answer

Answer is A. By automate they mean the process of sharing the value daily should be automated. The process of setting an alert or subscription will be manual only.

To me this is tricky because it says You need to automate the notifications. A user should be able to subscribe w/o you doing anything. With Power Automate, you can automate it. How to send Power BI Dashboard alerts to anyone, anywhere? | Power BI | Automate | BI Consulting Pro

It is A and why not B? An alert immediately gives you real time data when something changes and that is not asked in the questions. It states on "Daily Bases". So it is A: Subscriptions are useful when a user needs to keep an eye on data over time, but they do not provide real-time notifications about specific changes in data.

Correct Answer is B To automate the notifications for the total sales card visual, you should create a data alert. Option B - Create a data alert is the correct answer because a data alert allows you to monitor changes in data and send notifications based on specified criteria. In this case, you can set up a data alert to monitor the total sales value on the card visual and send a notification to the user on a daily basis if there is a change in the value. Option A - Create a subscription, allows users to receive a snapshot of a report or dashboard on a regular basis, but it does not allow for monitoring changes in data and sending notifications based on specific criteria. Option C - Sharing the dashboard with the user would allow them to view the dashboard, but it does not provide a way to send notifications. Option D - Tagging the user in a comment is not an automated solution and requires the user to actively monitor the dashboard for updates. No confusion, no need to further discuss

A. Create a subscription. To automate the notifications, you can create a subscription for the card visual. A subscription is a way to automatically deliver a report or dashboard to someone's email inbox or a shared location at scheduled intervals, such as daily or weekly. By creating a subscription, the user will receive an email notification with the number shown on the card visual at the desired frequency. Sorry for my first response...
