A report displays incorrect financial data due to a missing calculated field. What should the analyst do to resolve this?

Question

Options

• AAdd the missing calculated field to the report.
• BRebuild the report from scratch.
• CDisable all filters temporarily.
• DExport the data to a spreadsheet for manual correction.

• A
  81% (17)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  10% (2)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Adding the missing calculated field directly addresses the root cause - the report is incomplete because a required computation isn't defined, so supplying that field restores accurate output without unnecessary disruption. Rebuilding from scratch (B) is wasteful overkill when only a single element is missing. Disabling filters (C) changes data visibility but cannot conjure a field that was never added. Exporting to a spreadsheet (D) is a workaround that leaves the report itself broken and introduces manual error risk. Memory tip: Match the fix to the diagnosis - if the problem is missing, the solution is adding; any answer that destroys, bypasses, or exports around the problem is a red flag.
