Dataflow mode question (206)

hi - I am working through the L200 course. In 206 / Knowledge Check, there is the question: "What is the purpose of the clear cube step of the BUD - Initialise Budget Procedure?". The course's own correct answer is "The mapping mode on the Cube is set to ADD, which will cause the data to increase each time the procedure is run". My understanding is that the dataflow runs in a REPLACE type mode (similar to a data reader in Replace Time Slice). If the step in this procedure is temporarily disabled then the outcome from running the procedure is the same - it does not "increase" or duplicate). Please could you clarify on this point? Many thanks, James

    Hi James,

    you're right, the message does not seem correct.

    The answer seems to refer to a data reader step (which is not included in the procedure for the time being).

    @Kristin Dimitrova can you please advise on this?

    Many thanks,

    Tommaso
