Workday-Adaptive-Planning Exam - Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

Posted by Lauran on Jun 26, 2026 at 06:12 AM

An OPEX model uses headcount data linked from a personnel sheet. When testing with sample data, all expense results appear in the location dimension value of 'Uncategorized.' What corrections need to be made to populate the location values?

Suggested Answer: A

When expense results in a linked OPEX model appear under the 'Uncategorized' location dimension value, it indicates that the source personnel sheet data does not carry location dimension information. In Workday Adaptive Planning, when a cube or modeled sheet references data from another sheet via a linked account formula, the dimension values present in the results are determined by the dimension values present in the source data. If the personnel sheet was not planned with the location dimension --- meaning location was not used as a planning axis when entering headcount data --- then the location dimension has no value assigned to those rows, and the system classifies them as 'Uncategorized' in the OPEX output. The solution is to configure the personnel sheet to include the location dimension as a planning axis, so that headcount entries are tagged with specific location values. Adding formula term modifiers for location in OPEX would not resolve the root cause, which is missing dimensional data at the source.

I feel like we discussed needing to model accounts for each location in class. So, option B might be the right choice, but I need to double-check my notes.
NA

I'm a bit confused about the role of Data Privacy here. Does option C really affect how the location values are populated?
CA
Carma 3 months ago
I think we had a similar question in practice where the location wasn't specified correctly. Could it be option D?
EM

I remember something about linking dimensions, so maybe option A is correct? But I'm not entirely sure if that's enough.
