Selected Answer: A
There is a requirement to not consider negative and missing sales_amount but this is just for the total sales_amount calculation so we should assume every row in the "sales" table stands for one single transaction and we should count all of them, so right answer should be option A counting the ROWS of he "Sales" table We need a measure to return a scalar and options B and C are about adding calculated columns. In option D it's suggested to SUM the [Sales_id] but there is no sense summing any field to count number of transactions and even less summing some Id which could be usin any coding to identify sales.

we do not need calculated column! calculated column uses row- filter but we need a scaler value!

Shouldn't it be B though? You don't want to count blank sales_ids
