Question 1

Which two elements can have their values changed by using a dashboard action? Choose two.



Answer : C, D

In Tableau, the two elements that can have their values changed by using a dashboard action are Sets and Parameters. Dashboard actions can be configured to modify the values within a set or a parameter, allowing for interactive and dynamic changes in the visualization based on user interactions. For example, selecting a specific data point in a dashboard can trigger an action that updates a set or changes the value of a parameter, which in turn can alter the displayed data or the appearance of visualizations within the dashboard.


Question 2

You want to update the font of an entire workbook.

What should you use to configure the default fonts?



Answer : B

To update the font of an entire workbook in Tableau, you should use the 'Format Workbook' pane. This feature allows you to set and modify the default font settings for the entire workbook, ensuring consistency in font style across all sheets and dashboards. It's a global setting that applies to all visual elements in the workbook, including titles, captions, axis labels, and other text elements.


Question 3

What should you use to apply bold text formatting to rows or columns independent of each other?



Answer : C

To apply bold text formatting to rows or columns independently in Tableau, you should use the Rows tab or the Columns tab on the Format Font pane. This approach provides control over the formatting of text within individual rows or columns. By selecting the appropriate tab (Rows or Columns), you can apply formatting settings, including bold text, to only the selected rows or columns. This is a crucial feature for enhancing the readability and visual appeal of specific parts of a Tableau worksheet, allowing for emphasis on particular data points or categories.


Question 4

Which statement accurately describes creating a group by selecting headers in a view?



Answer : C

When creating a group by selecting headers in a Tableau view, the newly created grouped dimension replaces the original dimension field on either the Rows or Columns shelf. This grouping action aggregates the selected headers into a single group, and this new group dimension is automatically placed in the view, replacing the original dimension. This functionality allows for more simplified and customized categorization within the data visualization, enhancing the ability to analyze and interpret data according to specific groupings.


Question 5

Which type of filter affects a fixed Level of Detail (LOD) expression?



Answer : D

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.


Question 6

You have a data set that builds a union between two tables. You need to extract the data set. What should you use to extract the data set?



Answer : C

When dealing with a union of two tables in Tableau, using logical tables with a single table extract is the most appropriate approach. Logical tables allow for the integration of data from multiple tables in a way that is seamless and efficient for analysis. By using a single table extract, Tableau consolidates the data from the union into one extract, optimizing performance and enabling faster data processing. This approach is particularly beneficial when working with large datasets or complex unions.


Question 7

What are two examples of a date value?

Choose two.



Answer : A, D

Date values in Tableau represent specific points in time and are typically formatted in a standard date format.

Option A, '2020-05-01', is a standard date format representing the 1st of May, 2020.

Option D, 'January 1, 1995', is another example of a date value, representing the 1st of January, 1995. Options B ('December') and C ('Wednesday') represent a month and a day of the week, respectively, but do not specify a particular date.
