Question 1

True or False: Tableau can create worksheet-specific filters

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: Yes, it is possible to create worksheet-specific filters in Tableau. When you add a filter to a worksheet, by default it applies to the current worksheet. Sometimes, however, you might want to apply the filter to other worksheets in the workbook. Then, you can select specific worksheets to apply the filter to or apply it globally to all worksheets that use the same data source or related data sources. Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/filtering_global.htm

Question 2

True or False : Bins can be created on dimensions

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: Bin are a user-defined grouping of numerical data in the data source. According to the official Tableau documentation: It's sometimes useful to convert a continuous measure (or a numeric dimension) into bins. Have a look at the following image. When we right click a measure, we get the following options: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_3_img_1.jpg However, for a dimension (this is because the DATA TYPE of this dimension is a string: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_4_img_1.jpg But what if we have a dimension of type NUMBER (NUMERIC DIMENSION)? See below: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_5_img_1.jpg We can clearly create bins from dimensions too - they just have to be numeric :) For more information, please refer to : https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/enus/calculations_bins.htm

Question 3

True or False: A reference line cannot be added from the Analytics Pane

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: You can add a reference line to any continuous axis in the view. To add a reference line: Drag Reference Line from the Analytics pane into the view. Tableau shows the possible destinations. The range of choices varies depending on the type of item and the current view. In a simple case, the drop target area offers three options: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_44_img_1.jpg Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/reference_lines.htm

Question 4

True or False: It is not possible to blend axes for multiple measures into a single axis

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: We can very much blend multiple measures into a single axis. Such charts are called Combined-Axis / Blended-Axis charts. Follow along: Measures can share a single axis so that all the marks are shown in a single pane. To blend multiple measures, drag one measure or axis and drop it onto an existing axis. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_219_img_1.jpg Instead of adding rows and columns to the view, when you blend measures there is a single row or column and all of the values for each measure is shown along one continuous axis. For example, the view below shows quarterly sales and profit on a shared axis. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_220_img_1.jpg Note: If you drag a measure on to the canvas and only see a single ruler indicator instead of the double ruler indicator shown below, Tableau creates dual axes instead of a blended axis. For more information about how to create dual axes, see Compare two measures using dual axes. Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/multiple_measures.htm

Question 5

True or False: When you drag additional tables to the logical layer canvas, Tableau automatically
attempts to create the relationship based on existing key constraints and matching fields to define
the relationship. If it can't determine the matching fields, then relating these tables is not possible.

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_325_img_1.jpg Tables that you drag to the logical layer of the Data Source page canvas must be related to each other. When you drag additional tables to the logical layer canvas, Tableau automatically attempts to create the relationship based on existing key constraints and matching fields to define the relationship. If it can't determine the matching fields, you will need to select them. If no constraints are detected, a Many-to-many relationship is created and referential integrity is set to Some records match. These default settings are a safe choice and provide the most a lot of flexibility for your data source. Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/datasource_datamodel.htm

Question 6

True or False: Sets can be created on Measures

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: Sets are custom fields that are created within Tableau Desktop based on dimensions from your data source. They are subsets of your data, which can be created manually or computed. Either dimensions or measures can be used to determine what is included or excluded from a set using conditional logic, but to CREATE a set we use dimensions. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_77_img_1.jpg https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_78_img_1.jpg Reference : https://interworks.com/blog/rcurtis/2016/10/26/tableau-deep-dive-sets-introductionsets/

Question 7

True or False: Enabling any other type of sort (Field, alphabetic, or Nested) clears the manual sort we create.

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: This is true. a Manual Sort lets you select a value and move it to the desired position, either by dragging it in the list or using the arrows to the right. However, as soon as you choose some other type of sort - be it field, nested, or alphabetic, our custom created manual sort gets deleted/cleared. Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/enus/sortgroup_sorting_computed_howto.htm

Question 8

True or False: It is possible to change the Geographic Role of a dimension

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: A geographic role associates each value in a field with a latitude and longitude value. Assigning a geographic role based on the type of location (such as state versus postcode) helps ensure that your data is plotted correctly on your map view. For example, you can assign the City geographic role to a field that contains a list of city names. To assign a geographic role to a field: In the Data pane, click the data type icon next to the field, select Geographic Role, and then select the geographic role you want to assign to the field. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_82_img_1.jpg When you assign a geographic role to a field, Tableau adds two fields to the Measures area of the Data pane: Latitude (generated) and Longitude (generated). These fields contain latitude and longitude values and are assigned the Latitude and Longitude geographic roles. If you double-click each of these fields, Tableau adds them to the Columns and Rows shelves and creates a map view using the Tableau background map. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_82_img_2.jpg Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/maps_geographicroles.htm

Question 9

True or False: A sheet cannot be used within a story directly. Either sheets should be used within a dashboard, or a dashboard should be used within a story.

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: It is possible in Tableau to use a sheet within a story directly. Moreover, in Tableau, a story is a sequence of visualizations that work together to convey information. You can create stories to tell a data narrative, provide context, demonstrate how decisions relate to outcomes, or to simply make a compelling case. At the same time, a story is also a collection of sheets, arranged in a sequence. Each individual sheet in a story is called a story point. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_38_img_1.jpg https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_39_img_1.jpg Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/stories.htm

Question 10

True or False: Physical tables remain distinct (normalized), not merged in the data source whereas logical tables are merged into a single, flat table.

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: In fact, the opposite of this is true. Trick : Whenever you think of joins -> Think that after the join is created, we get 1 single flat combined (joined) table. This flat combined table is created prior to us creating our visualizations. This happens at the physical layer. If you ever think about relationships, know that all tables will remain distinct and separate, and relationships sit at the logical layer. At run time, when you bring in the dimensions and measures to create your viz, Tableau very smartly creates the necessary joins, relates the tables and sends queries to these tables to get the resultant data back in the most meaningful way possible. This allows you to focus on using your data and revealing insights from it and focus less on the data preparation aspect! Refer to logical layer vs physical layer from the official documentation: https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/datasource_datamodel.htm

Question 11

True or False: We get different colour pallete options if we drop a discrete field on "Color" in the marks card compared to if we drop a continous field on Color.

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: Yes! We get different color palettes. They are: *From the official Tableau documentation* https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_212_img_1.jpg To change the color for a value 1) Click on an item on the left, under Select Data Item. 2) Click a new color in the palette on the right. In Tableau Desktop you can hover over a swatch to identify the color. 3) Repeat for as many values that you want to change. 4) In Tableau Desktop, click OK to exit the Edit Colors dialog box. In Tableau Server or Tableau Online, simply close the dialog box. AND https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_213_img_1.jpg https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_213_img_2.jpg Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en us/viewparts_marks_markproperties_color.htm

Question 12

True or False: A LEFT JOIN or INNER JOIN creates a row each time the join criteria is satisfied, which can result in duplicate rows. One way to avoid this is to use data blending instead.

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: Joins combine tables by adding more columns of data across similar row structures. This can cause data loss or duplication if tables are at different levels of detail, and joined data sources must be fixed before analysis can begin. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_85_img_1.jpg Inner join https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_85_img_2.jpg Left Join Blends, unlike relationships or joins, never truly combine the data. Instead, blends query each data source independently, the results are aggregated to the appropriate level, then the results are presented visually together in the view.

Question 13

True or False: Context Filters are executed after Data Source filters

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION To answer this question, you need to understand Tableau's Order of Operations. See below and remember this always: https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_49_img_1.jpg Reference: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/order_of_operations.htm

Question 14

True or False: The Highlighting action can be disabled for the entire workbook.

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: Yes, it is possible to disable highlighting for the entire workbook. https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/Tableau_TDS-C01/page_6_img_1.jpg For more information : https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-gb/actions_highlight.htm

Question 15

True or False: Trend lines can only be used with numeric or date fields

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: You can show trend lines in a visualization to highlight trends in your data. To add trend lines to a view, both axes must contain a field that can be interpreted as a number. For example, you cannot add a trend line to a view that has the Product Category dimension, which contains strings, on the Columns shelf and the Profit measure on the Rows shelf. However, you can add a trend line to a view of sales over time because both sales and time can be interpreted as numeric values.
