NEW QUESTION # 93
True or False: You get different filtering options for categorical and quantitative data
- A. False
- B. True
Answer: B
Explanation:
Yes! We get different options for filtering depending on whether we use a categorical data (think dimension) or quantitative data (think measure).
Important Note: Each tab adds additional definitions to your filter. For example, you can select to exclude values under the General tab, and also add limits under the Top tab. Selections and configurations from both tabs are applied to your filter.At any time, you can see the definitions of your filter under Summary on the General tab.
Note: If you have a large data source, filtering measures can lead to a significant degradation in performance.
It is sometimes much more efficient to filter by creating a set containing the measure and then apply a filter to the set. For more information about creating sets, see Create Sets
NEW QUESTION # 94
Dates in Tableau are typically treated as ______________
- A. Dimensions
- B. Measures
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
For relational data sources, dates and times are automatically placed in the Dimensions area of the Data pane and are identified by the date or date-time icon. For example, the Order Date and Ship Date dimensions from an Excel data source are shown below:
When you place a relational date on a shelf, the field name is automatically modified to reflect the default date level. Tableau defines the default date level to be the level at which there are multiple instances. For example, if the date field includes multiple years, the default level is year. However, if the date field contains data for just one year but includes multiple months, then the default level is month.

NEW QUESTION # 98
You create a visualization by first adding a measure to rows. Next, you add a dimension wilh 11 members to columns.
Assuming that all the dimensions have a non-zero value, how many marks are in the view before and after the dimension is added?
- A. 2 before and 11 after
- B. 1 before and 2 after
- C. 1 before and 12 after
C 1 before and 11 after
Answer: A
Explanation:
In Tableau, when you initially add a measure to the rows shelf, you create one mark in the view that represents the aggregate value of that measure. When you then add a dimension with 11 members to the columns shelf, the view is subdivided into 11 separate marks, each representing the measure for one of the dimension members. This results in a total of 11 marks in the view after the dimension is added, one for each member of the dimension.
NEW QUESTION # 99
Which type of filter affects a fixed Level of Detail (LOD) expression?
- A. Measure filter
- B. Context filter
- C. Table calculation filter
- D. Dimension filter
Answer: D
Explanation:
In Tableau, a Fixed Level of Detail (LOD) expression calculates values at a specific level of granularity, regardless of the dimensions in the view. The computation of a fixed LOD expression can be influenced by a context filter. A context filter serves as a primary filter, setting the context for the rest of the filters in the view.
When a context filter is applied, it effectively changes the level at which the fixed LOD expression is computed, thereby affecting its outcome. Other types of filters, such as table calculation, measure, and dimension filters, do not have this influence on fixed LOD expressions.

NEW QUESTION # 101
Which of the following are the options to export the data used to build the view / visualisations?
- A. PDF File
- B. JSON format
- C. CSV file
- D. MS Access Database
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
You can export the data in a Tableau data source, including all or part of the records from your original data.
Alternatively, you can export only the portion of data used to generate the view.
Since the question mentions the data used to build the view, we'll focus on that :
*Export data in the view to Microsoft Access or .csv*
Export the data that is used to generate the view as an Access database (Windows only) or .csv file (Mac only).
1) In Tableau Desktop, select Worksheet > Export > Data.
2) Select a location and type a name for your Access database or .csv file.
3) Click Save.
4) If you're on Windows, the Export Data to Access dialog box displays to give you the option to immediately use the new Access database and continue working in Access without interrupting your work flow.

- A. The pill on the Rows shelf is green.
- B. The pill on the Rows shelf is blue.
- C. A quantitative axis is shown.
- D. The date part Is displayed as labels.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Dragging a continuous date value to the Rows shelf in Tableau results in a green pill on the Rows shelf, indicating a continuous field. It also results in a quantitative axis being displayed on the visualization.
Continuous fields are used to create axes on charts and can represent a range of values smoothly. This is opposed to discrete date values, which would be represented by a blue pill and typically show headers or labels rather than a continuous axis.
NEW QUESTION # 106
Which of the following is a benefit of using a Tableau Data Source (.tds)?
- A. To not contain the actual data but rather the information necessary to connect to the actual data as well as any modifications you've made on top of the actual data such as changing default properties, creating calculated fields etc
- B. To create a single zip file that contains a workbook along with any supporting local file data and background images. This is great for sharing your work with others who don't have access to the original data.
- C. To hold one or more worksheets, plus zero or more dashboards and stories.
- D. To create a local copy of a subset or entire data set that you can use to share data with others, when you need to work offline, and improve performance.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The following are the official definitions from the Tableau documentation for the various file types:
1) .tds (Tableau Data Source) - To not contain the actual data but rather the information necessary to connect to the actual data as well as any modifications you've made on top of the actual data such as changing default properties, creating calculated fields etc. (CORRECT ANSWER)
2) .twbx ( Tableau packaged workbook) - To create a single zip file that contains a workbook along with any supporting local file data and background images. This is great for sharing your work with others who don't have access to the original data.
3) Extract (.hyper or .tde) - To create a local copy of a subset or entire data set that you can use to share data with others, when you need to work offline, and improve performance.
3) (.twb) Workbooks - To hold one or more worksheets, plus zero or more dashboards and stories.
NEW QUESTION # 107
Which of the following are stored in a .tds file? Choose 3.
- A. Metadata edits
- B. Calculated Fields
- C. Data Extracts
- D. Data Connection information
- E. Visualizations
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
If you've created a data connection that you might want to use with other workbooks or share with colleagues, you can export (save) the data source to a file. You might want to do this also if you've added joined tables, default properties, or custom fields-such as groups, sets, calculated fields, and binned fields-to the Data pane.
Visualisations and Data extracts are NOT saved in a .tds file!

Given a map, which of the following fields can be placed in Size,Shape,Detail,Color
- A. Region, Country, Profit, State
- B. Profit, State, Number of Records, Sales
- C. Longitude, Country, State, Sales
- D. Sales, State, Country, Profit
Answer: D
Explanation:
Since Sales is a measure, it can easily be depicted via size.
To drill down and change the level of detail, Country is the correct choice since it will contain STATE. We can then depict the various states by different shapes such as circle, square etc.
Finally, the Profit can be depicted via a color! Eg - Red for poor and green for excellent profits!

Answer: A
Explanation:
Using the Sample superstore as a reference:
1) Let's plot a bar chart showing SUM(Quantity) for each Segment:
2) Right click on the x-axis (Segment):
Notice we don't have an option to edit the axis, only header. This is because only continous values form the AXIS.
3) Similarly, right click on the y-axis (Quantity):
Now we have the option to edit BOTH the axis and the header.
