INCORRECT

True or false? If data is not pre-sorted when you run the Gaps command, the results may be incorrect.

True

False

INCORRECT

You have previously defined a table layout for a  fixed-width inventory file for January 2016.

You now want to use an inventory file for February 2016 in Analytics with the same file structure.

How would you create a table layout for the February data without using the Data Definition Wizard?

In the Navigator, copy the January2016 table. Rename the copied table
'February2016'. Link the new table to the February 2016 source file.

Re-use the import command after changing the name of the file you’re
importing, the name of the table you're importing to, and the FIL file
that will be created.

Either method will work.

Neither method will work.

INCORRECT

You are working with an insurance claim table that contains fields for claim_date and
claim_payment_date.

Which of the expressions below would find issues where the claim_payment_date took place before the
claim_date?

claim_date < claim_payment_date

claim_date = claim_payment_date

claim_date <> claim_payment_date

None of the above

INCORRECT

You relate AP_Transactions (primary) with Vendor_Master (secondary) using Vendor_No as the key
field.

Which of the following filters will identify if there were any transactions (AP_Transactions) made from
vendors that don't exist in the Vendor_Master table?

Select all that apply.

Vendor_No = Vendor_Master.Vendor_No

Vendor_No <> Vendor_Master.Vendor_No

ISBLANK(Vendor_Master.Vendor_No)

INCORRECT

Which file format is the most reliable and consistent method to import data from as recommended by
Analytics?

INCORRECT

You are trying to join two tables using character key fields. Your join isn't returning all of the expected
results and you suspect it it may be due to mixes of upper and lower case letters (eg. 'SMITH' vs.
'Smith'). Which of these expressions could you use to create a computed field in each table to "clean-up"
the key fields so that the join will work?

MAP(ALLTRIM(key _field), "<map_structure_of _other_keyfield>" )

ALLTRIM(UPPER(CLEAN(UPPER(field_name), LENGTH(field_name)))

ALLTRIM(UPPER(key _field_name))

MATCH(ALLTRIM(key_field_name), UPPER(tablel), UPPER(table2))

RJUSTIFY(UPPER(TRANSFORM(key _field_name))))

CORRECT

You need to find out if any employees received more than one cheque (with a different cheque number)
on the same pay date from a table with the following data:
Your result table should report issues with the same employee number and date, but different cheque
numbers.

What is the most accurate and efficient way to accomplish this?

Create a View filter using the syntax Region = "AOl" AND Region = "A02"
AND Invoice_Amount > 5000. Then Extract to a new table.

Run the Extract command with a command filter using the syntax
MATCH(Region "AOl" AND "A02") AND Invoice_Amount > 5000.

Create a View filter using the syntax (Region = "AOl" OR Region = "A02")
AND Invoice_Amount > 5000.Then Extract to a new table.

Run the Extract command with a command filter using the syntax
(Region = "AOl" OR Region = "A02") AND Invoice_Amount > 5000.

Run the Extract command with a command filter using the syntax
MATCH(Region, "AOl", "A02") AND Invoice_Amount > 5000.00.

You have received a file from a system that only provides two digits for the year. You have been advised
that a date field in this file contains dates before, on, and after January 1, 2016. How do you ensure that
the dates are properly interpreted in Analytics?

Manually input the format of the year as CYY where C is the Century and
is a 0 for the 20th century and a 1 for the 21st century.

Bring the field in as a character type and convert it to a Julian date

using CTOJ(field_name, <format>) where <format> is the correct Julian
format.

Configure the ‘start of century’ option.

Configure the ‘end of century’ option.

Check the ‘Y2K-Compliance’ option in ACL. By default it is unchecked.

INCORRECT

Assume that 37739 is the number of days that have elapsed since 01/01/1950. How do you convert a
serial date such as 37739 to a value that Analytics can process as a date?

Define the data as a numeric field, then create a computed field that
subtracts the date, 01/01/1950, from the numeric field.

Define the data as a numeric field, then create a computed field that
adds the date, 01/01/1950, to the numeric field.

Your data contains two datetime fields: Invoice_Date and Approval_Date.

Your objective is to calculate the number of hours between the two dates, to two decimal places.

For example, if the Approval_Date appears in Analytics as Oct 29/2013 09:47:44 and the Invoice_Date
appears as Oct 25/2013 11:17:44, you want the result to be 94.50.

What is the correct expression syntax to achieve this?

(Approval_Date - Invoice_Date) * 24
ROUND(( Approval_Date - Invoice_Date) * 24)

DEC(( Approval_Date - Invoice_Date) * 24 , 2)

HOURS( Approval_Date - Invoice_Date)

INCORRECT

You have a table and the source data looks like this:

Given that:

 The first 6 bytes represent the PO Box number of the vendor

 The next 5 bytes represent the Vendor Number
 Both fields (PO Box Number, Vendor Number) have been defined with an ASCII data encoding

How would you create one field comprised of the PO Box number and the vendor number? The created
field will contain 11 numbers. Select all that apply.

Without deleting either field, highlight the first 11 numbers in the table
layout.

Create a computed field concatenating the two fields using the +

symbol.

transaction_date as an 'other' field.

Sort in descending order on the customer_number field. Then on the
