- B. A Hierarchy
- C. A Blend
- D. A Join
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The data that you analyze in Tableau is often made up of a collection of tables that are related by specific fields (that is, columns). Joining is a method for combining data on based on those common fields. The result of combining data using a join is a virtual table that is typically extended horizontally by adding columns of data.
For example, consider the following two tables originating from a single data source:
We can combine these 2 tables, simply by joining the tables on ID to answer questions like, "How much was paid in royalties for authors from a given publisher?". By combining tables using a join, you can view and use related data from different tables in your analysis.

NEW QUESTION # 31
For creating variable sized bins we use __________________
- A. Calculated Fields
- B. Table Calculations
- C. Groups
- D. Sets
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
One way to view a measure in Tableau Desktop is to split it into bins. You can think of bins as buckets based on a range of values. For example, say you have a measure that represents age. Instead of aggregating the measure to calculate the average age, you can bin the measure to define age groups: 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, and so on. Then you can count the number of people in each age group.
Create a calculated field for variable bin size
Step 1
Select Analysis > Create Calculated Field.
Step 2
In the Calculated Field dialog box, complete the following steps:

NEW QUESTION # 33
If you see the following Filter, then you're working with _______________________ Larger image
- A. Date Parts
- B. Date Functions
- C. Date Values
- D. Grouped Dates
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Dates in Tableau will behave differently depending on whether they are a Datepart (blue) or a Datevalue (green). This affects how the axes display/behave and also how visualisations such as line charts will display.
The difference essentially boils down to Dateparts behaving like a dimension as opposed to a measure which is how Datevalues behave. This means that Dateparts behave like discrete categories on the view whereas Datevalues are more like continuous numeric values.
Dateparts are discrete and they behave the same as dimension filters. If all dates are used on the filter then each individual date will be a datepart that can be selected/excluded. This is the same for each level of date, if datepart months is placed on filters January to December will be tick-able options in the filter. This also means that conditions and top/bottom filters can be applied to datepart filters like any other dimension filter.
Datevalues placed on filters behave like measure filters. A min and a max date can be set and there is a relative dates option which allows you to choose things like only show the previous 3 months or years etc.

You can alternatively select the Use all option to always consider all members even when new members are added or removed.
None of the other options exist, and therefore are incorrect answers.
