When creating custom reports and visualizations, calculated fields can transform values. To change positive counts into negative values (such as terminations in a waterfall chart), you use the Arithmetic Calculation function. This function allows you to perform math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on numeric fields. By multiplying the Termination Count by -1, the result displays as a negative number.
From Workday Reporting documentation:
"Arithmetic Calculation - Performs mathematical operations on numeric fields. You can create new numeric outputs such as percentages, ratios, or negatives by applying arithmetic logic." Thus, the correct answer is C. Arithmetic Calculation.

To capture proposed values from a business process event, you must use an event-related business object. For example, a Staffing Event business object can provide both the current and proposed values of job, location, or compensation during a transaction.
The Workday binder clarifies: "The report data source provides the view into the primary business object. This object gives you access to class report fields as well as links to related business objects." . By selecting an event-related object as the report's data source, you can retrieve pending changes alongside existing values.
Other answers are insufficient: "effective dating" only retrieves data snapshots, and filters cannot detect "proposed" unless tied to the correct object. Lookup Value as of Date would return historical data, not future proposed changes.

In Workday trending reports, the Record Date for a transaction is not always the same as the event's Effective Date. Instead, trending data is captured based on the periodicity of the trended workers configuration, most commonly set to the end of each month. For Hire events, the Effective Date is when the change takes effect in the system, but the trended data is stored using the month-end Record Date.
From the Workday binder: "Trended Workers captures snapshots of worker data at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly, quarterly). A transaction such as a hire or termination is recorded in trending as of the last day of the period in which the effective date occurs." In this scenario, the Hire Effective Date of 09/02/2023 falls in September. The Record Date is therefore the last day of September, 09/30/2023, not the effective date itself.
Thus, the correct answer is C. 9/30/2023.

When creating a custom report, filters restrict which data records are returned. Workday allows different comparison types for filters. The option "Value specified in this filter" lets you hard-code a condition (for example, Time Type = Part-Time), so the report consistently returns only part-time employees without requiring user input.
From the Workday Reporting documentation:
"Filter - Add conditions to filter the primary business object."
"Prompts - You can further narrow and refine your report results by having the user complete prompt fields before they run the report... or use value specified in this filter for fixed filtering." Therefore, the correct answer is C. Value specified in this filter.

In Workday reporting, row ordering is controlled on the Sort tab of the report definition. If you want the rows in a matrix report to sort by a specific field (such as Total Count), you must add that field to the Sort tab. Filters limit records, and summarizations define metrics, but sorting rules are explicitly defined in the Sort configuration.
From the Workday Reporting documentation:
"Sort - Control the order to present and group data. You can specify options for subtotals, grand totals, and outlines. Add a row on the Sort tab to define sorting by a particular field." Therefore, to sort rows by Total Count instead of Total Average Base Pay, the correct step is C. Add a new row to the grid on the Sort tab.
