What happens if sparse row suppression is used with dynamic calculations?

• A. Dynamic calculations run faster than when used with the default suppression
• B. Dynamic calculations are suppressed because data is not stored in the database
• C. Only dynamic calculations returning "No Data" are suppressed
• D. Dynamic calculations are cached for performance

Answer: (B)

When sparse row suppression is used, rows with no data are not stored or displayed. Dynamic calculations rely on data to produce results, so if a row is suppressed and there’s no data to base the calculation on, the calculation is not performed. That’s why the correct outcome is that dynamic calculations are suppressed because data is not stored in the database. The other ideas—that calculations would run faster, only happen for No Data results, or be cached—don’t fit how suppression removes the data and prevents those calculations from being executed in the first place.
