What is this view referred to as in Tableau?
Answer : C
Tableau displays data source connections and data fields for the workbook in the Data pane on the left side of the workspace.
The Data pane includes:
Dimension fields -- Fields that contain qualitative values (such as names, dates, or geographical data). You can use dimensions to categorize, segment, and reveal the details in your data. Dimensions affect the level of detail in the view. Examples of dimensions include dates, customer names, and customer segments.
Measure fields -- Fields that contain numeric, quantitative values can be measured. You can apply calculations to them and aggregate them. When you drag a measure into the view, Tableau applies an aggregation to that measure (by default). Examples of measures: sales, profit, number of employees, temperature, frequency.
For more information on what dimensions and measures are, see Dimensions and Measures, Blue and Green.
Calculated fields -- If your underlying data doesn't include all of the fields you need to answer your questions, you can create new fields in Tableau using calculations and then save them as part of your data source. These fields are called calculated fields.
For more information on calculated fields, see Create Custom Fields with Calculations.
Sets -- Subsets of data that you define. Sets are custom fields based on existing dimensions and criteria that you specify. For more information, see Create Sets.
Named sets from an MS Analysis Services server or from a Teradata OLAP connector also appear in Tableau in this area of the Data pane. You can interact with these named sets in the same way you interact with other custom sets in Tableau.
Parameters -- Values that can be used as placeholders in formulas, or replace constant values in calculated fields and filters. For more information, see Create Parameters.
You have the following visualization.
Which set type is created when you select the Create Set option?
Answer : B
When you use the 'Create Set' option in Tableau, it creates a dynamic set if the conditions for inclusion in the set are based on a calculation or an aggregation that may change as the data is updated or as filters are applied. Fixed sets are static and do not change with data refreshes, while dynamic sets can update to reflect the current state of the data.
What is a Tableau story point?
Answer : C
A Tableau story point is an individual container in a story that holds a sheet or dashboard. It's like a slide in a presentation, and a story is a sequence of these points that can be used to convey a data narrative, showing how facts are connected and guiding the audience through a sequence of analysis steps.
When you drop a continuous field on Color, Tableau displays a quantitative legend with a ___________ range of colors.
Answer : C
When you drop a discrete field on Color in the Marks card, Tableau displays a categorical palette and assigns a color to each value of the field.
When you drop a continuous field on Color, Tableau displays a quantitative legend with a continuous range of colors.

Which three statements accurately describes the capabilities of dashboard actions? Choose three.
Answer : B, C, E
Dashboard actions in Tableau are interactive elements that can be used to create a more dynamic experience. These actions can be set to filter data on the dashboard, highlight specific elements, or even direct the user to a URL when interacting with a visualization. They can be triggered by user interaction such as hover, selection, or accessing a context menu. Moreover, dashboard actions can have multiple source sheets (where the action originates) and target sheets (where the action takes effect), allowing for a complex interactivity between different parts of the dashboard.
Which of the following are the options to export the data used to build the view / visualisations?
Answer : A, D
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.
