D&E? Anyone have the same thoughts?

E is not correct. There are perfectly valid blog hits that won't have a referring URL, so filtering those rows removes valid hits that need to be counted. The answer is D & B. It feels a bit unnatural to me to be pulling rows instead of columns, but all the visuals we're talking about here involve blog hits specifically, so pulling the non-blog website traffic out of the dataset appears to be the right path forward.

Must be....presume the whacko characters are the same filtered '/' character. A, B and C all definitely don't work.

I disagree, we would remove the line which do not start with "/", but those are the lines exactly what we need in the last visual

That would remove Traffic data that is used in other visuals, so it's incorrect.

Since we are looking into Blog data and url are the join key so its by default that we might not have any url without 'blog" and if at all we have , we can get rid of those D because Full text and Summary col are not being used in any viz. so why to even have them.

Looks like all doubts are mainly about whether B or E is the valid solution and no discussion about D (as Posts[Full Text] and Posts[Summary] are not adding any value to any of the visuals. I will vote for B instead E as we are looking just for 'Blogs" and Traffic table is storing "Activity data from your company's ENTIRE website" so I'm assuming there would be more data than just data related to 'blogs'. On the other hand, about E, Traffic[Referring URL] not starting with '/' is a condition/filter for te last visual but this information but it's not a condition to be filtering other visuals.

Help me guys! I totally agree with D because we do not user Full Text and Summary in any visual. But why B is correct? We can't filter the traffic by URL because there is the report "Top 10 blog posts from the last seven days" which shows the traffic in the last 7 days independently from the URL

I will answer to myself =) I just realized that we can filter the blogs because it is a specific requirement. So BD is correct =)

Although some visuals have no filter related to "blog", the title of the visual suggests that only blogs are being analyzed. Therefore, we can safely remove everything that does not contain "blog". B and D are correct.

That's not "safely" removing. Going by just the title is exactly the opposite of safely removing, it's unsafely removing.

i agree, you can't just assume based on the description of the visual. if it was necessary to include 'blog' in one filter it should be included in others if that was the intention. the only correct answer is D based on the limited information provided

B makes no sense because there is no filter on "blog" on the first two visuals, so removing it causes a lack of data.

B & D you don't need rows of data which has no "blog" in it in the Traffic table, and in regards of the Posts table we don't either used the "Full Text & Summary" data in the analysis. Hope it makes sense to you.

I agree, but looking at the filters, in the first two visuals even posts that are not "blog" are used. Looking at the name they seems to be filtered, but hard to decide without the actual filter

The filters of the first two reports don't mention 'contains BLOG' So for me deleting lines with BLOG has impacts. The basis is not clear for the two reports.

It's a fair criticism of the way the question is laid out. For me, the intention was clear enough in the visual names, but I see what you're saying there.

All 4 visualizations are about blogs: so we can remove rows what do not contain "blog" - thus B is correct. We do not need columns Posts[Full Text] and Posts[Summary] in any visualization, they can be removed.
