NEW QUESTION 78
Which of the following are benefits of using Data Extracts in Tableau?
- A. Working with freshest data at all times
- B. Improved Performance
- C. Ability to use the data offline
- D. Faster to work with
Answer: B,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 79
Is it possible to deploy a URL action on a dashboard object to open a Web Page within a dashboard rather than opening the system's web browser?
- A. YES, we can do this with the help of a Web-Page object
- B. YES, we can do this with the help of a plugin
- C. NO, this is not currently possible in Tableau
- D. YES, we can do this with the help of Tableau Public
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
To interactively display information from the web INSIDE a dashboard, you can use a URL action with a web page object.

NEW QUESTION 80
Which of the following is a compelling reason to export a sheet in Tableau to a PDF?
- A. If we want to use filters in the visualisation.
- B. If we want a static view of the visualisation.
- C. If we want to interact with the visualisation.
- D. If we want to dynamically enter parameters to the visualisation.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Exporting the visualisation gives us a static view of the visualisation.
It is NOT possible to interact with it, use filters, or dynamically enter anything in a visualisation exported PDF.
In Tableau Desktop, you can save views as PDF files rather than printing them as hard copies. You do not need to have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer.
When you print an individual sheet to PDF, filters in the view are not included. To show filters, create a dashboard containing the sheet and export the dashboard to PDF. (IMPORTANT)
NEW QUESTION 81
_________________ is useful when you need to change how the data source is configured on a sheet-by-sheet basis, and when you want to combine databases that don't allow relationships or joins
- A. Data Joining
- B. Data Blending
- C. Union
- D. Data segregation
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Data blending is performed on a sheet-by-sheet basis and is established when a field from a second data source is used in the view. To create a blend in a workbook already connected to at least two data sources, bring a field from one data source to the sheet-it becomes the primary data source.
Switch to the other data source and use a field on the same sheet-it becomes a secondary data source. An orange linking icon will appear in the data pane, indicating which field(s) are being used to blend the data sources.
According to the official Tableau Documentation:

NEW QUESTION 82
What is the following icon in the Data pane used to do?
Larger image
- A. Sort Data
- B. Extract Data
- C. View Data
- D. Clean Data
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
View Data allows you to inspect your data in a spreadsheet-like layout. You can view data either for the data source as a whole, or to see the underlying data for an individual mark or a group of marks. In a worksheet, the rows that you see in the View Data window are always scoped to the current selection or the current view.
The View Data window displays as much of the data as possible by default, up to 10,000 rows. Field names are shown as column headers and can be dragged and dropped to change their display order. Click a column header to sort the values in that column.

NEW QUESTION 90
Which of the following is a valid way to create Sets in Tableau?
- A. In the Data pane, right-click a dimension and select Create > Set.
- B. In the Tableau Main Menu, Choose Worksheet and select Create > Set
- C. In the Tableau Main Menu, choose Dashboard and select Create > Set
- D. In the Data pane, right-click a measure and select Create > Set.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
There are two types of sets: dynamic sets and fixed sets. The members of a dynamic set change when the underlying data changes. Dynamic sets can only be based on a single dimension.
To create a dynamic set:
1) In the Data pane, right-click a dimension and select Create > Set.
2) In the Create Set dialog box, configure your set. You can configure your set using the following tabs:
General: Use the General tab to select one or more values that will be considered when computing the set.
You can alternatively select the Use all option to always consider all members even when new members are added or removed.
None of the other options exist, and therefore are incorrect answers.
NEW QUESTION 91
Are animations enabled by default in Tableau?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: A
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.
