QuestionQ25

Build business application logic and automation

A company uses Dataverse to configure derived values for sales records.

The company needs the following functionality:

  • Evaluate an expression using numerical columns in the same row.
  • Calculate the result dynamically when it is accessed.
  • Ensure the result is not stored as part of the table data.
  • Minimize the use of custom code.

You need to configure the app.

What should you do?

  • A Create a formula column.
  • B Use a real-time workflow to update the value.
  • C Use a business rule to populate the value.
  • D Use a plugin to calculate.
Explanation

A Dataverse formula column uses a Power Fx expression to derive a value from columns in the same record. Formula column values are calculated dynamically during retrieval rather than persisted as table data, meeting the requirement without custom code.
