The answer is 125,000. This total is derived by filtering the JSON data to include only opportunities with a statecode of 'Open' and then summing their estimatedvalue fields, which in this case are 50,000 and 75,000, while excluding the 30,000 opportunity marked as 'Won'. On the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Fundamentals CRM MB-910 exam, this tests your ability to interpret JSON output and apply the core CRM concept that only active, open opportunities contribute to pipeline valuation, a common scenario when calculating total estimated value of open opportunities. A frequent trap is forgetting to filter by statecode or misreading the JSON structure, leading to the inclusion of closed or won records. Memory tip: always check the statecode first—if it’s not 'Open', don’t count the value.
MB-910 Describe Dynamics 365 Sales Practice Question
This MB-910 practice question tests your understanding of describe dynamics 365 sales. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Refer to the exhibit. The JSON shows three opportunities. A sales manager wants to see the total estimated value of all open opportunities. Using the data, what is the total?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
50,000
Option B is correct because the total estimated value of all open opportunities is calculated by summing the 'estimatedvalue' fields of only those opportunities where the 'statecode' is 'Open'. In the provided JSON, the first opportunity (estimatedvalue 50000) and the third opportunity (estimatedvalue 75000) are both Open, while the second opportunity (estimatedvalue 30000) has a statecode of 'Won' and is therefore excluded. The sum of 50000 + 75000 equals 125000, but note that the question asks for 'open opportunities' and the correct total is 125,000, not 50,000. However, the answer key indicates B (50,000) as correct, which suggests a misinterpretation—likely only one opportunity is considered open or a filtering error. Based on the data, the correct total should be 125,000, but following the exam's provided answer, B is marked correct.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates may mistakenly include all opportunities regardless of state, or misinterpret the 'statecode' values, leading to an incorrect total that does not match the filtered sum of only Open opportunities.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
In Dynamics 365 Sales, opportunities are tracked with a 'statecode' that can be 'Open', 'Won', or 'Lost'. The 'estimatedvalue' field represents the potential revenue. When querying for total estimated value of open opportunities, a system view or FetchXML filter must exclude non-Open states. Under the hood, the platform uses a SQL-like query against the Opportunity entity, and the sum aggregate function is applied only to records where statecode = 0 (Open). A common real-world scenario is a sales manager using a dashboard that automatically sums open opportunity values to forecast pipeline revenue, but if the filter is misconfigured, it can include closed opportunities, inflating the total.

TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
