Understanding JoinsIn reporting or database queries, a join determines how two tables are combined based on a related column.

Types of Joins

Outer Join: Includes all rows from both tables, filling inNULLwhere no match exists.

Left Join: Includes all rows from the left table (Table A) and only matching rows from the right table (Table B).

Inner Join: Includes only rows that have matches in both tables.

Correct Join for the RequirementALeft Joinis the appropriate choice to include all rows from Table A and only matchingrows from Table B. This ensures Table A's data remains intact while incorporating relevant data from Table B.

Tool for Aggregation

AnAggregated Calculated Columnallows you to perform calculations, such as counting previous employers for each employee, and then display the results in a single row per employee.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Runtime Filters): Filters data but does not aggregate or calculate totals.

B (Calculated Columns): Useful for individual row-level calculations, but aggregation across rows requires Aggregated Calculated Columns.

D (Date Options): Used for filtering or formatting date fields, not for aggregating data.

Report Transfer (A):

The Report Transfer tool is specifically designed to move reports from one instance (test) to another (production).

Report Center (D):

Reports can also be exported and imported manually using the Report Center if the report type supports it.

Understanding the Chart Type

Indicator: Numeric Pointcharts display a single numeric value based on a calculated metric.

The desired output requires dividing the count of male employees by the count of female employees.

Solution

ACalculated Measurein Chart Builder is the appropriate method to perform this calculation within the context of the chart.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Aggregation): Aggregation alone cannot handle the required calculation.

B (Calculated Column): Calculated columns are created at the query level and are not specific to the chart.

D (Restricted Measure): Restricted measures limit data based on conditions but do not perform calculations across dimensions.

Mismatch Between Drill-Down and Chart Values:

The mismatch occurs because the chart aggregates data, while the drill-down includes all entries (even duplicates).

Resolution:

Identify and remove the column in the drill-down configuration that causes multiple rows per metric (e.g., user-specific fields like title or ID).

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A:Filtering does not eliminate duplicates inherent in the column structure.

B:Removing the category assignment field alters the chart structure and is unnecessary.

C:Changing to Count (Distinct) affects the chart calculation but does not resolve the drill-down mismatch.
