This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: The grouped table's customer totals match independently calculated source sums.

This is the already implemented original solution: Use Group By CustomerID with Sum over the sales amount. Power Query Group By aggregates multiple rows into a specified grain. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Deduplication discards valid transactions instead of summing them. It also does not meet the changed need.

Joining by position can corrupt transactions and does not combine sequential periods. The proposed shortcut 'Merge the quarterly datasets on row index' fails the documented need.

This addresses a separate source situation: An old application exports OrderFlag values Y and N, while a new semantic model needs true Boolean values. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: The next quarter introduces a new optional column. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

This addresses a different case: An old application exports OrderFlag values Y and N, while a new semantic model needs true Boolean values. It is not the specific defect in 'Merge the quarterly datasets on row index'.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: Joining by position can corrupt transactions and does not combine sequential periods.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Append the quarterly queries into one transaction table', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: The resulting fact contains records from all four quarters with no dropped periods.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: The resulting fact contains records from all four quarters with no dropped periods.

This belongs to a different case: An old application exports OrderFlag values Y and N, while a new semantic model needs true Boolean values. It does not validate the current change.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: The resulting fact contains records from all four quarters with no dropped periods.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Joining by position can corrupt transactions and does not combine sequential periods. It also does not meet the changed need.

This is the already implemented original solution: Append the quarterly queries into one transaction table. Append stacks compatible row sets rather than joining them horizontally. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

Appending different entity types cannot enrich a fact with product attributes. The proposed shortcut 'Append Products rows below the Orders fact' fails the documented need.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: Products may have several historical category versions. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

This addresses a separate source situation: A sales table has many order lines per customer, and the team wants total revenue by CustomerID. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This addresses a different case: A sales table has many order lines per customer, and the team wants total revenue by CustomerID. It is not the specific defect in 'Append Products rows below the Orders fact'.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Merge with Products on ProductID using a correctly typed join key', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: Appending different entity types cannot enrich a fact with product attributes.

Approval of a proposed design is not evidence of working behavior. The required observation is: The enriched order rows show the expected product category for matching keys.

A future test is not yet observed operational evidence. The verification must establish: The enriched order rows show the expected product category for matching keys.

This belongs to a different case: A sales table has many order lines per customer, and the team wants total revenue by CustomerID. It does not validate the current change.

This is the already implemented original solution: Merge with Products on ProductID using a correctly typed join key. Merge joins related columns using matching keys. It does not itself solve the new requirement.

This remains unsuitable for the original situation: Appending different entity types cannot enrich a fact with product attributes. It also does not meet the changed need.

This observes the original approach but is not an additional action: The enriched order rows show the expected product category for matching keys.

This might be appropriate after a different requirement arises: Business rules later require discarding unrecognized products for an export. It is not the best initial response to the stated case.

Inner joins remove fact rows lacking a matching dimension key. The proposed shortcut 'Use an Inner join and assume unmatched sales are kept' fails the documented need.

This addresses a separate source situation: An analyst combines two tables that have the same columns but distinct store-region rows. It does not directly satisfy this case's priority.

This addresses a different case: An analyst combines two tables that have the same columns but distinct store-region rows. It is not the specific defect in 'Use an Inner join and assume unmatched sales are kept'.

This is reasoning supporting the preferred solution 'Use a Left Outer merge from Sales to Products', but it does not directly name the defect in the proposed shortcut.

Product familiarity is not evidence of suitability. The actual defect in this proposal is: Inner joins remove fact rows lacking a matching dimension key.
