NEW QUESTION 79
When is an axis created for the visualisation in Tableau?
- A. When we drag a measure to the row/column shelf
- B. When we drag a dimension to the row/column shelf
- C. When we drag a continuous field to the row/column shelf
- D. When we drag a discrete field to the row/column shelf
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
An Individual Axis in Tableau is obtained by adding a continuous into Rows or Columns Shelf.
Example:
In order to show Individual Axis in Tableau First, we drag and drop the Color from Dimension shelf to Column Shelf. Next, we drag and drop the Sales Amount from measures shelf to Rows Shelf. Since it is a continuous value, the Sales Amount will be aggregated to default Sum. Once you drag them, following Chart report will be generated.
Next, we drag and Drop one more measure value, i.e., Total Product Cost from Measures Region to Rows Shelf. Because it is a Measure value, Total Product Cost is aggregated to default Sum. From the below screenshot, you can observe that Tableau has created an individual axis for each measure (continuous field).

Which of the following are benefits of using Data Extracts in Tableau?
- A. Ability to use the data offline
- B. Working with freshest data at all times
- C. Faster to work with
- D. Improved Performance
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
Extracts are advantageous for several reasons:
1) Supports large data sets: You can create extracts that contain billions of rows of data.
2) Fast to create: If you're working with large data sets, creating and working with extracts can be faster than working with the original data.
3) Help improve performance: When you interact with views that use extract data sources, you generally experience better performance than when interacting with views based on connections to the original data.
4) Support additional functionality: Extracts allow you to take advantage of Tableau functionality that's not available or supported by the original data, such as the ability to compute Count Distinct.
5) Provide offline access to your data: Extracts allow you to save and work with the data locally when the original data is not available. For example, when you are traveling.
To work with the MOST up-do-date data, use a live connection instead!
NEW QUESTION 88
You have cleaned a data source properly, created some calculated fields and renamed some columns. You want to save these changes for future use cases. Which of the following would BEST satisfy this requirement?
- A. Save it as a .twb file
- B. Save it as a .twm file
- C. Save it as a .tds file
- D. Save it as a .twbx file
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
After making changes to Data, we can save that new data source as a .tds file. To do so, go to data menu on top and then choose your current connected data source. Then next click on Add to Saved Data sources. This will save all calculated fields, changes to fields etc. It will be saved in My Tableau Repository -> Mydatasources. This will then also appear on Tableau Home Page under saved data sources like SampleSuperStore.
Note: Data source files do 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, adding groups, and so on.
twb and .twbx are not the BEST solutions since the questions nowhere mentions that we need to store our workbooks as well.
twm is a bookmark which contains a single worksheet and are an easy way to quickly share your work.

NEW QUESTION 93
Are animations enabled by default in Tableau?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
No, by default, animations are not enabled in Tableau.
We can animate visualizations to better highlight changing patterns in your data, reveal spikes and outliers, and see how data points cluster and separate.
Animations visually transition between filter, sort, and zoom settings, different pages, and changes to filter, parameter, and set actions. As visualizations animate in response to these changes, viewers can more clearly see how data differs, helping them make better informed decisions.
When you author animations, you can choose between two different styles: simultaneous or sequential. Here are examples of each type.
1) Simultaneous animations
The default simultaneous animations are faster and work well when showing value changes in simpler charts and dashboards.
2) Sequential animations
Sequential animations take more time but make complex changes clearer by presenting them step-by-step.
To Animate visualizations in a workbook:
1) Choose Format > Animations.
2) If you want to animate every sheet, under Workbook Default, click On. Then do the following:
For Duration, choose a preset, or specify a custom duration of up to 10 seconds.
For Style, choose Simultaneous to play all animations at once or Sequential to fade out marks, move and sort them, and then fade them in.
3) To override workbook defaults for a particular sheet, change the settings under Selected Sheet.
