NEW QUESTION 59
When you want to first apply a filter and THEN show the Top N or Bottom N elements, which of the following filters would you use?
- A. Context Filter
- B. Data source Filter
- C. None of the these
- D. Extract Filter
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
IMPORTANT QUESTION, PAY ATTENTION
By default, all filters that you set in Tableau are computed independently. That is, each filter accesses all rows in your data source without regard to other filters. However, you can set one or more categorical filters as context filters for the view. You can think of a context filter as being an independent filter. Any other filters that you set are defined as dependent filters because they process only the data that passes through the context filter.
You may create a context filter to:
1) Improve performance - If you set a lot of filters or have a large data source, the queries can be slow. You can set one or more context filters to improve performance.
2) Create a dependent numerical or top N filter - You can set a context filter to include only the data of interest, and then set a numerical or a top N filter.
NEW QUESTION 60
Question 45: Skipped
You have just created a histogram and now want to be able to change the size of bins dynamically. Using which of the following will easily satisfy your requirement?
- A. Sets
- B. Groups
- C. Calculation
- D. Parameters
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
A parameter is a global placeholder value such as a number, date, or string that can replace a constant value in a calculation, filter, or reference line.
For example, you may create a calculated field that returns True if Sales is greater than $500,000 and otherwise returns False. You can replace the constant value of "500000" in the formula with a parameter.
Then, using the parameter control, you can dynamically change the threshold in your calculation.
For example -

NEW QUESTION 75
_____________ is a snapshot of the data that Tableau stores locally. Good for very large datasets of which we only need few fields.
- A. Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx)
- B. Tableau Data Extract (.tde)
- C. Tableau Data Source (.tds)
- D. Tableau Workbook (.twb)
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Tableau Data Extract (TDE) is a snapshot of the data that Tableau stores locally. Good for very large datasets of which we only need few fields. Performance is optimised because it queries its own database engine instead of the local data source.
When you create an extract of your data, you can reduce the total amount of data by using filters and configuring other limits. After you create an extract, you can refresh it with data from the original data. When refreshing the data, you have the option to either do a full refresh, which replaces all of the contents in the extract, or you can do an incremental refresh, which only adds rows that are new since the previous refresh.
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.

NEW QUESTION 77
Which of the following is a benefit of using a Tableau Data Source (.tds)?
- A. To create a single zip file that contains a workbook along with any supporting local file data and background images. This is great for sharing your work with others who don't have access to the original data.
- B. To hold one or more worksheets, plus zero or more dashboards and stories.
- C. To create a local copy of a subset or entire data set that you can use to share data with others, when you need to work offline, and improve performance.
- D. To 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 etc
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The following are the official definitions from the Tableau documentation for the various file types:
1) .tds (Tableau Data Source) - To 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 etc. (CORRECT ANSWER)
2) .twbx ( Tableau packaged workbook) - To create a single zip file that contains a workbook along with any supporting local file data and background images. This is great for sharing your work with others who don't have access to the original data.
3) Extract (.hyper or .tde) - To create a local copy of a subset or entire data set that you can use to share data with others, when you need to work offline, and improve performance.
3) (.twb) Workbooks - To hold one or more worksheets, plus zero or more dashboards and stories.
NEW QUESTION 78
True or False: Sets can be created on Measures
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Sets are custom fields that are created within Tableau Desktop based on dimensions from your data source.
They are subsets of your data, which can be created manually or computed. Either dimensions or measures can be used to determine what is included or excluded from a set using conditional logic, but to CREATE a set we use dimensions.
