You need to create a calculated column to show the date in a format like this February 01, 2021. Which of the following DAX expressions would you use?
A. FORMAT([Date],”M”)|| FORMAT([Date],”D”)|| FORMAT([Date],”Y”)
B. FORMAT([Date],”MMMM DD, YYYY”)
C. FORMAT([Date],”MMM”)|| FORMAT([Date],”DD”)|| FORMAT([Date],”YYYY”)
D. FORMAT(‘Date_Table’ [Date],”MMM”)|| FORMAT(‘Date_Table’ [Date],”DD”)|| FORMAT(‘Date_Table’ [Date],”YYYY”)

You have been provided with the sales data of ABC company for the years 2005-2020 and asked to build a measure that will calculate the total sale for all years up to 2015, multiplied by a fixed multiplier. For the years 2005-2010, the multiplier was 15% and for the years 2010-2015, it was 25%.
Fill in blanks by selecting the right sequence of the words from the given option to create the required measure.
= …………… (
……….. (……………… (‘Date’[year]),
‘Date’[year]<2015)
),
