Suggested Answer: A, B, E

A data function is a reusable calculation that can be applied to data in a Spotfire analysis. A data function can have input and output parameters that define how the data function interacts with the data and the analysis. The input parameters specify what data or values are required for the data function to run, and the output parameters specify what data or values are returned by the data function.The types of input or output parameters for a data function are1:

Column: A column parameter represents a single column of data from a data table. A column parameter can be used as input to provide a vector of values to the data function, or as output to create a new column in the data table or overwrite an existing column. A column parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, or boolean.

Document property: A document property parameter represents a value that is stored in the analysis document and can be used to control various aspects of the analysis, such as filters, markings, colors, etc. A document property parameter can be used as input to provide a scalar value to the data function, or as output to create a new document property or overwrite an existing document property. A document property parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, boolean, date, or time.

Value: A value parameter represents a scalar value that is entered by the user or calculated by the data function. A value parameter can be used as input to provide a constant or variable value to the data function, or as output to return a single value from the data function. A value parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, boolean, date, or time.

The other options, column property, table, and visualization, are not valid types of input or output parameters for a data function.Reference:

I believe Table, Value, and Visualization are not typically used as input or output parameters for a data function. So, I agree with Billy and Wendell.

I'm not sure about C. I think D, E, and F could also be types of input or output parameters.

I agree with Billy. Column, Document property, and Column property make sense as input or output parameters.

I believe D, E, and F are not typically considered input or output parameters for a data function, so I would go with A, B, and C.

I'm going with Column, Document property, and Value. Can't go wrong with the classic options, right?

Haha, I bet the exam writer was feeling pretty clever coming up with these options. 'Visualization' as an input parameter? Really?

Yeah, it does seem a bit out of place compared to the other options.

I know right? 'Visualization' seems like a strange choice for an input parameter.

I agree with Dante. But I'm still confused about the difference between column and column property. Aren't they the same thing?

Yes, exactly! Column property would include things like data type, format, or any other specific attributes of the column.

Thanks for clarifying that! So, column property would be like the data type or format of the column?

No, they are not the same. Column refers to the entire column of data, while column property refers to specific properties or attributes of that column.
