[All TDA-C01 Questions]

You have the following dataset.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

To create a new calculated dimension field named Category that meets the given conditions, you can use either the IF or the CASE logical function. Both functions allow you to evaluate an expression and return a value based on different scenarios. Option A uses the IF function with multiple ELSEIF clauses to check the value of the Subject field and assign it to either 'Sciences' or 'Humanities'. Option D uses the CASE function with multiple WHEN clauses to do the same thing. Both options will produce the same result, but the CASE function is more concise and easier to read. Option B is incorrect because it will assign 'Humanities' to any subject that contains 'Science' in its name, which is not the desired outcome. Option C is incorrect because it will only check if the subject ends with 'Computer Science' and ignore the other subjects.Reference:

Yes, A and D make sense. The other options don't fit as well.
