When viewing the output of a report, which action cannot be used to manipulate data?

• A. Edit the data
• B. Filter the data
• C. Sort the data
• D. Export the data

Answer: (A)

Viewing a report typically provides ways to change how you see the data without altering the data itself. You can filter the rows to focus on specific records, sort them to change the order, or export the data to work with it outside the report. Editing the data would modify the underlying records in the system, which isn’t something you do in a report view; that action belongs to the data source or transactional screens. Therefore, editing the data is the action that cannot be used to manipulate the report output.
