Tableau TDS-C01 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  True or False: Tableau can create worksheet-specific filters

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Yes, it is possible to create worksheet-specific filters in Tableau. When you add a filter to a worksheet, by default it applies to the current worksheet. Sometimes, however, you might want to apply the filter to other worksheets in the workbook. Then, you can select specific worksheets to apply the filter to or apply it globally to all worksheets that use the same data source or related data sources.

• Question 102:

  How can you access options to apply bold formatting to an axis in the view?

  A. Select Text on the Marks card.
  B. Select Field Labels on the Format menu.
  C. Right-click on the Field and select Format.
  D. Right-click on the axis.
  D. Right-click on the axis.

  ---

  select Format > Font. A Format Font control pane will open. This control pane will let you customize the text in the view.

  option 2 - In Tableau Desktop, you can right-click (control-click on Mac) the axis, and then select Format. In web authoring, you can click the arrow button on an axis, and then select Format.

• Question 103:

  True or False: Trend lines can only be used with numeric or date fields

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  You can show trend lines in a visualization to highlight trends in your data. To add trend lines to a view, both axes must contain a field that can be interpreted as a number. For example, you cannot add a trend line to a view that has the

  Product Category dimension, which contains strings, on the Columns shelf and the Profit measure on the Rows shelf.

  However, you can add a trend line to a view of sales over time because both sales and time can be interpreted as numeric values.

• Question 104:

  Which of the following would you use to edit the Shape, colour, and Text of your visualisations?

  A. Marks Card
  B. Data Pane
  C. Filter Shelf
  D. Analytics Pane
  A. Marks Card

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The Marks Card allows us not only to edit the Shape, Text and Colour, but also to modify the Tooltip and the level of detail of the visualisation!

  

  The Marks card is a key element for visual analysis in Tableau. As you drag fields to different properties in the Marks card, you add context and detail to the marks in the view.

  

  You use the Marks card to set the mark type (see Change the Type of Mark in the View), and to encode your data with color, size, shape, text, and detail. To change the mark settings, see Control the Appearance of Marks in the View.

  

  In this example, three different fields have been dragged to different properties in the Marks card. Segment is on Color, Region is on Shape, and Quantity is on Size. After you add a field to the Marks card, you can click the icon next to the

  field to change the property it is using. You can also click the property buttons in the Marks card to change those settings.

  Many properties can have multiple fields. For example, you can add multiple fields to Label, Detail, Tooltip, and Color. Size and Shape can only have one field at a time. For more details, see Control the Appearance of Marks in the View.

  A. a sequential palette
  B. the full color range
  C. a diverging palette
  D. a categorical palette
  C. a diverging palette

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Diverging palettes are most commonly used to show the difference between positive and negative numbers.

• Question 107:

  True or False: It is possible to add a field to more than one hierarchy

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

• Question 110:

  If you are working with a huge dataset, which of the following are strong reasons to use a context filter?

  A. Improve query performance
  B. To make the context filter a dependent filter
  C. To help clean the data
  D. To include only the data of interest
  A. Improve query performance
  D. To include only the data of interest

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  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 (Option stating-To create a dependent filter eliminated here). 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.

  For example, suppose you're in charge of breakfast products for a large grocery chain. Your task is to find the top 10 breakfast products by profitability for all stores. If the data source is very large, you can set a context filter to include only breakfast products. Then you can create a top 10 filter by profit as a dependent filter, which would process only the data that passes through the context filter.
