CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 270

A data analyst has received a list of customer names in alphabetical order that needs to instead be put in order by transaction date. Which of the following data manipulation techniques should the analyst use?

Answer options

• A. Aggregating
• B. Transposing
• C. Sorting
• D. Consolidating

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Sorting, because it directly addresses the need to reorder data based on transaction dates. Aggregating, transposing, and consolidating do not facilitate the reordering of individual records based on a specified field.
