How would you accomplish this task?

You have a crosstab, bucketed worksheet that shows forecast records. There are forecast records on the first workday of every month for 18 months from the Planning Date. The bucket settings are set for 52 Weeks from the Planning Date. You want to improve performance for this worksheet, but still display it as a crosstab worksheet. You also want to display one year’s worth of forecast records.

How would you accomplish this task?
A . Change the bucket settings to display 365 Everyday from the Planning Date.
B . Turn off the bucket settings for this worksheet and add an expression to filter out records that are beyond the one year horizon.
C . Turn off grouping settings for this worksheet and add an expression to filter out records that are beyond the one year horizon.
D . Change the bucket settings to display 18 Months from the Planning Date and add an expression to filter out records that are beyond the one year horizon.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Turning off bucket settings can improve performance by reducing the computational load required to generate the buckets. Adding an expression to filter out records that are beyond the one-year horizon ensures that only data relevant to the desired timeframe (one year’s worth of forecast records) is displayed. This streamlines the data set, potentially improving load times and making the worksheet more responsive.
