Which data is cleared when using the Clear Data Data Management Step?

• A. All data from the Cube.
• B. Data from the Cube by Time Period.
• C. Data from the Data Unit.
• D. Data from the Data Unit and a chosen Origin Member.

Answer: (D)

Clear Data removes existing values from a data unit, and you can scope that removal to a specific Origin Member. This means you’re not wiping every value in the cube, but rather erasing the data within a chosen data unit for the data that originated from a particular origin. This targeted approach lets you refresh or reprocess data from one source while leaving other origins intact and without altering the cube’s structure. The step isn’t about clearing the entire cube or just data for a time period in isolation; it’s about clearing values in a data unit, optionally restricted to a specific origin.
