Question

A team is planning to automate daily reporting for a company. Prior to this rollout, the team wants to determine how to ensure the data is refreshed at approximately the same time every day. Which of the following would be the BEST step for the team to take to get the data connected and refreshed on a daily automated schedule?

Options

  • AConnect the input to a CSV file that can be replaced daily.
  • BConnect the input to an extract that can be replaced daily by a member of the team.
  • CConnect the input to a live connection within the data warehouse that refreshes daily.
  • DConnect the input to a Microsoft Excel macro that is updated daily on schedule and then fed into

Why each option

The best approach for automated daily reporting and consistent data refreshes is establishing a live connection to a data warehouse that is configured for daily data refreshes.

AConnect the input to a CSV file that can be replaced daily.

Connecting to a CSV file that is replaced daily would require manual intervention or a separate automation process to replace the file, which is less reliable and scalable than a data warehouse.

BConnect the input to an extract that can be replaced daily by a member of the team.

Connecting to an extract that can be replaced daily by a team member is a manual process and does not meet the requirement for automated daily refreshing.

CConnect the input to a live connection within the data warehouse that refreshes daily.Correct

Connecting the input to a live connection within a data warehouse that refreshes daily is the best solution because data warehouses are designed for reliable, scalable data storage and often have built-in scheduling for automated data refreshes, ensuring consistency for daily reporting.

DConnect the input to a Microsoft Excel macro that is updated daily on schedule and then fed into

Connecting to a Microsoft Excel macro that is updated daily is generally not a scalable or robust solution for enterprise-level automated reporting due to potential reliability issues and dependence on local environments.
