Salesforce Administrator — Question 87

The Director of Sales wants a report that shows the trending performance of his sales reps. He would like to see the trend by month, with a review of the previous
6 months. Which report format would you use to create this custom report?

Answer options

• A. The Tabular Report
• B. The Summary Report
• C. Matrix Report.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Matrix Report is the correct choice because it allows for the visualization of trends over time by summarizing data in a cross-tabulation format, which is ideal for monthly performance analysis. The Tabular Report is more suited for straightforward lists of records, and the Summary Report, while useful for aggregating data, does not provide the detailed monthly trend analysis required by the Director of Sales.
