[sales_amount])
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2:
You need to get data from the Microsoft SQL Server tables.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 3:
You have a Power BI workspace named Workspace1 that contains a dataset named DS1 and a
report named RPT1.
A user wants to create a report by using the data in DS1 and publish the report to another workspace.
You need to provide the user with the appropriate access. The solution must minimize the number of
access permissions granted to the user.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 4:
