Question 390
A customer data mart aggregates transactions for business reporting. The current environment exhibits the following problem: an incremental aggregate keeps growing after source corrections. What is the most defensible next action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Rebuild affected group keys or apply reversible deltas with checks. Aggregate updates need proper correction and deletion semantics.
Incorrect Answers
A daily total incorrectly counts a transaction in two calendar days. Time-zone boundaries define the correct reporting date.
Revenue aggregation includes tax twice due to order-line and order-header join. Join multiplicity can duplicate money measures.
An analyst averages precomputed daily averages with unequal sample sizes. Weighted aggregation preserves correct arithmetic.
