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. Parameters
- C. Calculation
- D. Groups
Answer: B
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.

NEW QUESTION 52
Which of the following are valid ways of Grouping Data?
- A. Using Marks in the view
- B. From the Dimensions Shelf
- C. Using Labels in the View
- D. From the Analytics Pane
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
**IMPORTANT QUESTION AND EXPLANATION, PLEASE READ**
3 ways to group data -
1) Marks
2) Labels
3) Dimensions shelf.
*IMPORTANT*
If we Group the data by selecting the marks, then they remain separate marks in the view and then have the same colour. Also, a new group is created in the Dimensions shelf. Example - Using the sample superstore dataset, first plot a bar chart showing sales for each sub-category:
Here, if we Select Phones, Chairs and Storage by selecting the MARKS (Bars), and then group them:
They remain seperate marks (BARS) but are grouped by the same colour.
Now, if we didn't do this, and rather grouped by selecting their Labels (Names):
Then they no longer remain separate Marks (bars) but are rather consolidated into a single Bar:
Finally, we can group directly from the Dimensions shelf as follows:
Now choose Phones, Chairs and Storage and Click Group:
You will now automatically have a new Dimension as follows:

NEW QUESTION 54
Suppose you have a bar chart. When we group by labels in a view, which of the following happens?
- A. The colours of the members selected are now the same, and different for the rest of the members.
- B. A new mark (bar) is created, which consolidates all members of the group.
- C. Nothing changes in the view, but a group is created in the Dimensions shelf.
- D. Trick question! It is not possible to group by labels.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
*Very important question*
If we select the labels in the view and then group, a new consolidated mark is created - in our case bar since we are talking about a bar chart in the question. See below:
Then on grouping, a new bar is created, and the colour of all bars remain the same.
Had we grouped by choosing the marks instead of the labels, the following would be the result:

- A. 112,256
- B. 1,222
- C. 1,461
- D. 111,060
Answer: A
Explanation:

To reach the correct answer, follow the steps below:
1) Draw Assortment to the Column shelf, and drag Year to the Rows Shelf. Then Drill down further on Year to accomodate Quarters and Months as well!
Although this seems enough, DON'T FORGET to change the aggregation like in the next step, which will completely change the values!

* The correct answer as you can see is 1,461 - Sales for Harware Assortment in 2017 Q4, October

In addition to handling calculations slightly differently, there are some limitations on secondary data sources.
You may not be able to sort by a field from a secondary data source, and action filters may not work as expected with blended data. For more information, see Other data blending issues.
NEW QUESTION 64
True or False: A sheet cannot be used within a story directly. Either sheets should be used within a dashboard, or a dashboard should be used within a story.
- A. rue
- B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
It is possible in Tableau to use a sheet within a story directly.
Moreover, in Tableau, a story is a sequence of visualizations that work together to convey information. You can create stories to tell a data narrative, provide context, demonstrate how decisions relate to outcomes, or to simply make a compelling case.
At the same time, a story is also a collection of sheets, arranged in a sequence. Each individual sheet in a story is called a story point.
NEW QUESTION 65
_____________ is a snapshot of the data that Tableau stores locally. Good for very large datasets of which we only need few fields.
- A. Tableau Data Extract (.tde)
- B. Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx)
- C. Tableau Data Source (.tds)
- D. Tableau Workbook (.twb)
Answer: A
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 68
For a relative date filter, the default anchor is _________________
- A. Today's date
- B. The target date
- C. The current time
- D. The date we specify
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Relative date filters dynamically update to show a time period relative to when you open the view, such as the current week, the year to date, or the past 10 days. Relative date filters make it easy to create views that always show the most recent data.
Step 1: Drag a date field to the filter shelf
Right-click (control-click on Mac) and drag a date field from the Data window to the Filters shelf. In the Filter Field dialog box, click Relative Date, and then click Next.
Step 2: Select a time unit
In the Filter dialog box, click Relative dates, and then select the unit of time for the filter. For example, to show only the three most recent weeks, select Weeks.
Here, you can clearly see that the default date is TODAY
