Error Analysis

Calculated columns in Query Designer require the correct data type to be specified based on the formula. If the selected data type does not match the formula's expected output, an error occurs.

Why the Error Occurs

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Incorrect Dynamic Date Variable): The issue is not with the date variable but with the data type.

B (If-Then-Else Statement): Such a statement is unnecessary in the given formula.

C (Negative Result): Negative results are not inherently problematic unless restricted by the data type.

Pivot Chart Creation Process

To build a pivot chart based on a list report with a run-time filter, the filter must first be added to ensure the data being visualized reflects the selected filter criteria.

Creating the chart after applying the filter allows for a more accurate representation of the desired data.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A: Filter groups are unrelated to this scenario.

B: Creating the chart before the filter would lead to inaccurate results.

C: While adding the filter first is correct, the chart must be created after this step.
