Question 6
Multiple choice
You want to add a comment to March 2020 as shown in the following visualization.
You have the following sets in a Tableau workbook
1. Top N Customers 2. Customers of 2020 3. Top N Products 4. Sellers of 2020
Which two sets can you combine? Choose two
A
Sellers of 2020
B
Customers of 2020
C
Top N Products
D
Top N Customers
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answersB, D
Explanation
To combine two sets, they must have at least one dimension in common. In this case, Customers of 2020 and Top N Customers both have Customer Name as a dimension, so they can be combined using set operations such as union, intersection, or difference. Sellers of 2020 and Top N Products have different dimensions (Seller Name and Product Name), so they cannot be combined.
References: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/sets.htm https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/sets_create.htm#combine-sets In Tableau, sets can be combined if they are created from the same dimension. From the options provided, "Customers of 2020" and "Top N Customers" are likely created from the same dimension (Customers). Therefore, these two sets can be combined to create a new set that includes or excludes members based on the combined criteria. Combining sets like "Top N Products" with "Customers of 2020" would not be feasible unless they are from the same dimension, which is typically not the case.
Question 7
Single choice
You have the following dataset:
Which grouping option should you use in Tableau Prep to group all five names automatically?
A
Pronunciation
B
Spelling
C
Manual Selection
D
Common Characters
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerD
Explanation
Common Characters: Find and group values that have letters or numbers in common. This option uses the ngram fingerprint algorithm that indexes words by their unique characters after removing punctuation, duplicates, and whitespace. This algorithm works for any supported language. This option isn't available for data roles. For example, this algorithm would match names that are represented as "John Smith" and "Smith, John" because they both generate the key "hijmnost". Since this algorithm doesn't consider pronunciation, the value "Tom Jhinois" would have the same key "hijmnost" and would also be included in the group.

You have the following visualization.
You want the count of Returns displayed only for the first year in the table.
How should you complete the formula in the calculated field? (Use the dropdowns in the Answer Area to select the correct options to complete the formula.)
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Explanation
we need to create a calculated field that displays the count of returns only for the first year in the table. To do this, we can use the following formula: IF FIRST () = 0 THEN COUNT (Returns) END This formula uses the FIRST () function, which returns the number of rows from the current row to the first row in the partition. If the current row is the first row, then FIRST () returns 0. The IF statement checks if this condition is true, and if so, it returns the count of returns for that row. Otherwise, it returns NULL. To complete the formula in the calculated field, you should select the following options from the drop-down menus: FIRST ()
You have a dataset that has four fields named Category. Profit Sates and Customer Name.
You need to create the following visualization.

To create the visualization, you need to drag Sales to Columns, Profit to Rows, Customer Name to Detail on the Marks card, and Category to Color on the Marks card. This will create a scatter plot that shows the relationship between Sales and Profit for each Customer Name, with different colors for each Category.
You have the Mowing two tables that contains data about the books in a library.
Both tables are incomplete so there are books missing from the tables.
You need to combine the tables.
The solution must ensure that all the data is retained Which type of join should you use?
A
Full outer join
B
Right join
C
left join
D
Inner join
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerA
Explanation
To combine the two tables that contain data about books in a library and ensure that all the data is retained, you should use a full outer join. A full outer join is a type of join that returns all rows from both tables, regardless of whether there is a match or not. If there is no match, null values are filled in for the missing fields.
To perform a full outer join, you need to do the following steps:
Connect to both tables as your data sources in Tableau. You can use either live or extract connections.
Drag one table to the canvas and drop it on top of another table. This will create a join between them based on a common field.
Click on the join icon between the tables and select Full Outer Join from the drop-down list. This will change the join type to full outer join and show all rows from both tables.
Optionally, you can add or remove join clauses by clicking on Add or Remove buttons next to each clause. You can also change or rename fields by clicking on them.
The other types of joins are not correct for this scenario. An inner join returns only the rows that have a match in both tables, which will exclude any books that are missing from either table. A left join returns all rows from the left table and only the matching rows from the right table, which will exclude any books that are only in the right table. A right join returns all rows from the right table and only the matching rows from the left table, which will exclude any books that are only in the left table. References: https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/joining_tables.htm https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/join_types.htm When combining two datasets that are both incomplete and where it's important to retain all data from both sources, a full outer join is appropriate. This type of join ensures that all records from both tables are included in the combined dataset, even if there are no matching records in the other table.
Question 12
Single choice
You have the following dashboard that contains two visualizations.
You want to show only visualization at time. Users must be able to switch between visualizations.
What should you me?
A
A parameter and a calculated filed
B
Worksheet actions
C
Showhide buttons
D
Dashboard actions
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answerA
Explanation
In Tableau, you can manage the visibility of different visualizations on a dashboard using various techniques. Among the options provided, the most straightforward method to allow users to switch between two visualizations is to use show/hide buttons.
Here's why each option is or isn't suitable for the requirement:
A. A parameter and a calculated field: While it's possible to use a parameter and a calculated field to control which visualization is displayed, it requires creating a calculated field that responds to a parameter and then using that field to filter the view. This method can become complex and is not as user-friendly for simply showing and hiding visualizations.
B. Worksheet actions: Worksheet actions in Tableau typically allow users to interact with the data within a visualization, such as filtering data or highlighting related data points when clicking or hovering. They are not designed to control the visibility of entire visualizations on a dashboard.
C. Show/hide buttons: Show/hide buttons are a feature specifically designed to manage the visibility of dashboard elements. When you create a show/hide button, it can be configured to display or hide a particular visualization, container, or any other dashboard element when clicked. This provides a very intuitive interface for users to switch between visualizations.
D. Dashboard actions: Dashboard actions, like worksheet actions, are used to create interactions between sheets, such as filtering data or navigating to other sheets or URLs based on user interactions. They are not intended for toggling the visibility of visualizations.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Show/hide buttons as they provide a user-friendly way to switch between visualizations on a dashboard without the need for complex calculations or actions that aren't meant for this purpose. The show/hide button feature is specifically designed for toggling visibility and offers a simple and effective solution for the requirement.

You can add a navigation object to a dashboard by dragging it from the list of objects and dropping it on the dashboard. You can then configure the navigation object to specify the destination dashboard or sheet that you want users to navigate to when they click on it.
