Question 170
A cumulative summary requires comparing each record with the previous record by timestamp. Which implementation best addresses this scenario?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Sequence-dependent transforms need a defined stable order, supporting deterministic previous-row calculation.
Incorrect Answers
Fill Down propagates the most recent nonnull group label through a block. It would address restore hierarchical group labels, not deterministic previous-row calculation.
Explicit sort keys decouple display sequence from alphabetical labels. It may suit business-defined category order, not deterministic previous-row calculation.
Fill Up propagates later nonnull values upward through preceding missing rows. It is useful for backfill missing records from following values, not for deterministic previous-row calculation.
