Databricks SQL is not meant to replace or substitute other BI tools, but rather to complement them by providing a fast and easy way to query, explore, and visualize data on the lakehouse using the built-in SQL editor, visualizations, and dashboards. Databricks SQL also integrates seamlessly with popular BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Looker, allowing analysts to use their preferred tools to access data through Databricks clusters and SQL warehouses. Databricks SQL offers low-code and no-code experiences, as well as optimized connectors and serverless compute, to enhance the productivity and performance of BI workloads on the lakehouse. References: Databricks SQL, Connecting Applications and BI Tools to Databricks SQL, Databricks integrations overview, Databricks SQL: Delivering a Production SQL Development Experience on the Lakehouse

The reason the alert is not functioning as expected is because Databricks SQL Alerts do not support query parameters. This limitation applies to all types of parameters, including date parameters.

Here’s why:

Alerts require static, deterministic query results so they can compare values consistently during scheduled executions.

When a query includes parameters (e.g., a date range parameter), its results may change based on user input or the default value set in the query editor.

However, Databricks SQL Alerts will always use the default value set for the parameter at the time the alert is created. This means the alert doesn’t dynamically adapt to new date ranges and will not reflect changes unless the query is manually updated.

As a result, if the business logic behind the alert depends on changing date ranges or any user input, the alert will not trigger correctly, or may never trigger at all.

Therefore, the correct explanation contradicts Option B, which is incorrect in saying that alerts cannot work with date-based queries at all. In fact, they can—as long as the query is static (i.e., without parameters).

Markdown-based text boxes are useful as labels on a dashboard. They allow the data analyst to add text to a dashboard using the %md magic command in a notebook cell and then select the dashboard icon in the cell actions menu. The text can be formatted using markdown syntax and can include headings, lists, links, images, and more. The text boxes can be resized and moved around on the dashboard using the float layout option. References: Dashboards in notebooks, How to add text to a dashboard in Databricks
