The Brief

Mei LinFP&A Managerfpna

Priya wants to send the month-end variance reports to cost center owners. Can you pull `cost_center_name`, `department`, and `owner_email` from `dim_cost_centers`? All of them — I'll paste it into the distribution list.

Hints (3)

Each hint you reveal reduces the XP you can earn. Try the query first.

Hint 1

Everything Mei needs is in a single table. She only wants three of the available columns — name them explicitly rather than pulling everything.

Hint 2

No WHERE clause needed — she wants every cost center.

Hint 3

Pull three specific columns from dim_cost_centers: the center's name, its department, and the owner's email address.
