CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 75

The current date is July 14, 2020. A data analyst has been asked to create a report that shows the company’s year-over-year Q2 2020 sales. Which of the following reports should the analyst compare?

Answer options

• A. Q2 2020 and Q4 2019
• B. YTD 2020 and YTD 2019
• C. Q2 2020 and Q2 2019
• D. Q2 2020 and Q2 2021

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Year-to-Date (YTD) comparisons provide a broader view of sales performance over the entire year, which is useful for assessing trends. Options A, C, and D do not compare the same time periods year-over-year for Q2, making them inappropriate for the analyst's request.
