Question 250
A year-to-date measure follows a fiscal year ending June rather than December. What should be specified?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Configure the time-intelligence year-end or fiscal-calendar logic explicitly. Fiscal YTD boundaries differ from default calendar-year boundaries.
Incorrect Answers
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR shifts the current date window back one year. That is a different operating condition from “a fiscal year ending June rather than December”: “with the same period in the previous year”.
Year-to-date time intelligence accumulates within the current year. It serves “needs year-to-date sales respecting the selected calendar year”, not “a fiscal year ending June rather than December”.
DATEADD shifts the relevant date context by a calendar interval. The present requirement is “a fiscal year ending June rather than December”; “month's comparable value for an active Date table” is a distinct situation.
