Question 370
A management report needs current revenue minus comparable previous-year revenue. What should the report or semantic-model owner do?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Variance measures subtract comparable quantities after matching time contexts, supporting absolute year-over-year revenue change.
Incorrect Answers
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR shifts the date filter to a comparable prior-year interval. It would address prior-year matched-period sales, not absolute year-over-year revenue change.
PREVIOUSMONTH replaces the current date set with the previous month interval. That targets previous-month sales comparison, not absolute year-over-year revenue change.
DATESINPERIOD defines a relative date window evaluated by CALCULATE. It may suit trailing 28-day revenue, not absolute year-over-year revenue change.
