Question 1

_____________ charts are typically used to represent accumulated totals over time and are the conventional way to display stacked lines.



Answer : B

According to the official Tableau documentation:

An example of an area chart is shown below:


Question 2

Suppose you create a bar chart by dragging a dimension to the Column shelf and a measure to the Rows shelf. Which of the following would create a stacked bar chart?



Answer : C

Very important question for the exam and appears quite a lot too.

The correct answer is -By dragging another dimension to Color on the Marks card.

This is what the question says we have already created. Now to convert this into a Stacked bar chart, we will drop another dimension on Color in the Marks card.

The rest won't create stacked bar charts, and hence are incorrect choices. The best way to answer such questions on the real exam is to quickly do what the options say and see if they satisfy the requirements in the question.


Question 3

The row and column shelves contain ___________________



Answer : A

We can drag fields from the Data pane to create the structure for your visualizations.

The Columns shelf creates the columns of a table, while the Rows shelf creates the rows of a table. You can place any number of fields on these shelves.

These FIELDS are also referred to as PILLS. See below:


Question 4

A field that shows average home values for the United States in 2016 is most likely :



Answer : D

This question is directly from the Official Tableau Desktop Specialist exam guide.

Since we are talking about the AVERAGE home values for the United States in 2016, the question is directly offering us a hint that the answer has something to do with aggregation and that too the values tell us that we're working with MEASURES.

Date part and Date values don't really make much sense given the question, and neither does geography.

Therefore, the answer naturally is 'An aggregated measure'.


Question 5

Tableau will automatically create a hierarchy for which two kinds of data? Choose two.



Answer : A, D

Tableau will automatically create a hierarchy for date and geographic data. A hierarchy is a way of organizing data into different levels of detail. For example, a date hierarchy can have year, quarter, month, and day levels. A geographic hierarchy can have country, state, city, and zip code levels. Tableau recognizes date and geographic data based on their data types and formats, and creates hierarchies for them by default.Tableau does not automatically create hierarchies for date & time or string data3


Question 6

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



Answer : A

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:


Question 7

By default, what does Tableau do when you connect to a data source?



Answer : B

Before you can build a view and analyze your data, you must firstconnectTableau to your data. Tableau supports connecting to a wide variety of data, stored in a variety of places.

By default, when you connect a data source to Tableau, Tableau will create a live connection to the data.

Live connection refers to a data source that contains direct connection to underlying data, which provides real-time or near real-time data. With a live connection, Tableau makes queries directly against the database or other source, and returns the results of the query for use in a workbook. Users can create live connections and then share them on Tableau Server so that other Tableau users can use the same data using the same connection and filtering settings.
